We’ve all heard about people pleasing but did you know there is more to it than wanting them to like you?

We all have habitual behaviors – some are useful and others, like people-pleasing are not. It drains our energy and can cause resentment – which is the exact opposite of what we are trying to achieve.

But you don’t have to stay stuck in old patterns. You can transform your career and life by doing a few simple things.

What you’ll learn:

• Reasons why you people-please
• The deeper meaning behind it
• The foolproof tools I use with my clients
• What you have in common with butterflies

Ready for true transformation? What are you waiting for? Schedule your Discovery Call with me today and let’s talk about how you can make the shift out of people-pleasing and into pleasing yourself.

Time.

We tell ourselves we never have enough of it and yet we have the same amount as everyone else – 24 hours in every day.

So why do some people seem to create these amazing lives and you feel like you’re just slogging through?

It’s never too late to change how you approach things – especially the things you want most.

All you need is the process to follow and the determination and belief that it’s a done deal.

What You’ll Learn:

• How different industries treat Q4 goals.
• How much time it actually takes to make a plan.
• My 3-step process that shows you the path to what you want.
• The power of claiming what you want.
• My challenge to you – are you up for it?

Coaching is THE way to ensure you stay on track and don’t let those pesky Derailers™ keep you from getting what you really want. It’s time to declare what you want!  Schedule a Discovery Call with me today and we’ll talk that and how to get you there. 

You work hard, right?

You get a jumpstart on the day and stay late to tie up loose ends. You probably hop on your laptop after dinner to wrap up anything that came in after you left the office (or walked down the hall if you work remotely).

You put in a lot of hours and have noticed that some of your coworkers don’t share the same schedule – or work ethic.

What’s up with that?

It’s called “quiet quitting” and it’s the latest buzz on social media that’s getting a lot of attention.

In this week’s episode, I talk about what’s really happening in companies and give you my take on it.

What You’ll Learn:

• What “quiet quitting” is and isn’t.
• What to look for if you lead a team or own your own business.
• What it’s REALLY costing our global economy to have an unhappy workforce.
• Why multi-generational companies can – and need – to come together.

Take some time to evaluate whether you’re following the values that are important to you in work and in life. If you’re not, you have the opportunity to reconnect to them, redefine them or choose new ones altogether.

You don’t have to overwork and live with exhaustion. Partnering with me as your coach is THE way to make the shifts you need to take your career and life to the next level. Schedule a Discovery Call with me today and we’ll talk about your specific situation. You + Me = Customized Coaching that gets RESULTS!

We’ve been raised to believe that we gain confidence by doing something and not just doing it but doing it well.

When someone sings a song and nails it, we assume they have confidence. We assume they’ve done it many, many times before, so that’s what makes them be able to do it now and make it look so effortless.

Not so.

Confidence isn’t something you get after you do something.

It’s the deep sense that you can handle the emotional outcome of whatever you pursue or face. It has nothing to do with doing the thing. It’s about knowing you can handle whatever happens.

What You’ll Learn:

• How society programs us to think about confidence.
• What fear and excitement have in common.
• What athletes know that we forget.
• The exact process to take to process all feelings.

Understanding how you feel is crucial to your success, both personally and professionally. Take time to recognize, understand and feel this week. It’s the only way to really find joy in creating what you crave. 

You don’t have to do this alone. Partnering with me as your coach is THE way to make the shifts you need to take your career and life to the next level. Schedule a Discovery Call with me today, and we’ll talk about what’s keeping you stuck. You + Me = THE best investment you’ll ever make!

As a woman, you wear a lot of hats.

At work: coach, mediator, creative, motivator, leader, analyst. And throw in your title for good measure.

At home: friend, wife, mom, director of fun, bookkeeper, transportation specialist, Nurturer in Chief – just to name a few.

We wear a lot of hats and we’re wearing ourselves out. 

In this episode you’ll hear about throwing all those hats out and replacing them with the only one you’ll need.

What You’ll Learn:

• How wearing many hats actually depletes your energy.
• Why you think you need all those hats.
• The moment that changed how my definition of “good mother”.
• The one question you need to ask yourself – before it’s too late.

You’ve got a lifetime of messaging to shift and I’m just the gal to help you with that. Schedule a Discovery Call with me today – I’ll be the one wearing the coach hat. 😉

Our world has become more and more fast-paced and there never seems to be enough time in the day. Have you noticed that?

We think we need to be doing more to get ahead, but the truth is, we need to slow down.

That’s right. S.L.O.W. down.

By doing that, we can begin to take stock of what’s going on in our brains – those very busy computers we have in our heads that keep spitting out the same few thoughts over and over again. These are the habitual thoughts we just get used to thinking and never bother to question if they are useful.

And many of those thoughts originate in imposter syndrome (phenomenon). Tune in to this week’s episode where you’ll learn the truth about what’s really going on in your head.

What You’ll Learn:

• How women are programmed to show up from birth.
• How stereotypes hold you back from showing up authentically.
• The way curiosity changes your thinking.
• The link between self-awareness and confidence.
• The 3 questions you have to ask yourself.

Take the time to hang out with your thoughts this week. There’s a lot of good stuff inside that head of yours. You just need to slow down to notice it.

You don’t have to do this alone. Partnering with me as your coach is THE way to make the shifts you need to take your career and life to the next level. Schedule a Discovery Call with me today and we’ll talk about what’s keeping you stuck. You + Me = THE best investment you’ll ever make!

Have you ever noticed how many times you think about how other people should behave?

Your spouse. Your kids. Your boss.

You name it. We all do it – and it causes so much unnecessary drama. It’s because we all have rules we believe everyone should follow in how they show up in the world.

The catch is – we haven’t shared those rules with them. We assume they know.

In this week’s episode we talk about the difference between these rules and expectations and how to handle both.

What You’ll Learn:

• The definition of expectations.
• Why other people’s behavior drives you nuts.
• The difference between expectations and The Maunal.
• How to free yourself from unnecessary frustration.
• BONUS-if you lead a team, listen toward the end for a gold nugget.

We spend a lot of time being tied up emotionally with other people and how we think they should behave. Instead, spend your time creating the career and life you crave? Now that’s a great investment.

Do you struggle with setting expectations and all the emotions you have tied to them? It’s a time suck and feels awful. There is a better way! Schedule a Discovery Call with me today and take that first step toward emotional freedom!

Do you find yourself toning down your personality to blend in?

Maybe you don’t share your true thoughts on a particular topic at work because you fear it may not be well-received.

Are you feeling trapped in the mask you’ve been wearing your whole life?

This week I’m talking about authenticity and how it is the key to feeling true freedom. 

What You’ll Learn:

• The surprising thing that happened to me while getting my first tattoo.
• Why you need a new definition of “professional”.
• The only time change happens.
• Why getting to know the real you – and letting her be seen – is the source of true freedom.

One of the first things I tell my clients when we begin working together is they are beginning the journey of self-discovery that everyone needs, but few take. They are finding themselves again after a long absence.

You can have this, too. I have a couple of openings in my private coaching practice. It’s time you discover the real you and bring her out to play! The world is waiting. Schedule your complimentary Discovery Call with me today.

It’s time to be you, my friend. Unapologetically.

(This is part 3 of a 4-part series on independence and freedom)

When you think of freedom, what comes to mind? Being unencumbered? Working for yourself? Living without constraints?

These are all exterior things and while accurate, that’s not the freedom I’m referring to.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing how you can free yourself from the prison of The 4 Derailers™ - Perfection, Proving, Procrastination and People-Pleasing.

How much different would you feel if you didn’t listen to that inner critical voice that judges you constantly and tells you that you don’t measure up?

(Disclaimer: You’ll never be rid of this judgy voice, but you can learn how to manage it – make it like white noise rather than the main event in your head.)

Just think of what you could do and how different you would feel!

What You’ll Learn:

• The difference between perfection and excellence.
• The danger perfection creates.
• What your body has to tell you.
• How to free yourself from the stress of The 4 Derailers™.

You’re a go-getter and know what you want, yet you just can’t seem to get past your self-sabotaging behaviors. I get it. Stop trying to go it alone. It’s time for us to team up. Schedule a Discovery Call with me today and we’ll talk about all the things – and how partnering is THE best decision you’ll ever make!

(This is part 2 of a 4-part series on independence and freedom)

How do you make decisions?

Have you ever thought about that? Most of us don’t. We go about our daily lives making hundreds of decisions and never pause to look at how we arrived at them.

Then there’s the questions of which comes first? Decision or commitment? Now this may seem elementary to you, but it’s really not.

Are you committed first, or do you have to decide on something, then commit to it? 

Listen as I share with my own experience with decision and commitment (and what surprised the heck out of me) plus what to watch out for. 

What You’ll Learn:

• Which comes first – decision or commitment.
• My recent experience with both.
• What to watch for when gathering data.
• What stands in your way of real commitment.

Are you a high achiever who had a difficult time making decisions or sticking with them? There’s nothing wrong with you. It’s that you don’t have the mindset you need. Schedule a Discovery Call with me today and we’ll talk about all the things – and how partnering is THE best decision you’ll ever make!
