If you start to feel stuck in a conversation wondering, "What is happening here?" you might be in Opinion Tennis.  In this episode you'll learn about this common pattern and how it can show up at work and in family gatherings.  And, I'll share two ways to get out of the pattern.

Every new manager needs to develop their strategic thinking.  Here are some ways to do that at the end of the year.  

In this episode I talk you through a process for end-of-year reflection and celebration.  And, we'll cover why it's so valuable to celebrate.  Hint:  your brain has a bias for negativity.  When you intentionally celebrate, it trains your attention to notice and learn from positive experiences.  It also strengthens your sense of agency.  Studies also show that celebrating is good for mental health and well-being, and who doesn't need more of that?  To learn more about coaching with Kim, visit:  https://kimnicol.com/coaching/

Tips for what to do when you feel overwhelmed.  And remembering that anytime you think about a big change you want to make, you'll meet resistance and doubt.  Let's talk about why, and how to approach it instead.  https://kimnicol.com/coaching/

Changes in leadership can be difficult.  I'm sharing my favorite metaphor for this situation, and the questions that can help you think strategically when you need to communicate about the change.
