On Trying So Hard

We search for wisdom in all kinds of places; books, experiences, conversations, and the like. What I’ve found though is that some of my most profound epiphanies - moments of deep wisdom - have come from nature. I have an herb garden. I keep it on my tiny apartment...

The Quest of Unbecoming

I read a quote this week that really moved me and I immediately saved it to MyMind (been loving this tool for months). “Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were...

What People Get Wrong About Consistency

A recent conversation with a client illuminated what I imagine many people get wrong about consistency.  They conflate perfectionism with consistency.  I’ll explain: Let’s pretend you’re trying to increase your thought leadership and commit to writing for one hour 3x...

Connect Your Own Dots

Question for you: What’s your current balance of consuming others’ ideas versus making time to hold space for your own? Our culture values personal and professional growth.  This usually involves acquiring knowledge, perspective, and experience to evolve for the...

The Experiment That’ll Change Everything

I’ve written before about how confidence is a result, not a prerequisite, but I want to expand on that idea. Here’s something to stew on: We act our way into new ways of thinking and being. Have you ever wanted to step into a new role or embody a different kind of...

A Quick, Zero-Fluff Way To See If You’re Living In Alignment With Your Values

Most of us don’t like to think about our mortality. But I think contemplating death every now and then fosters wisdom.  We’re always looking forward, often racing to the next chapter. But what about when it’s time to look backward? What will we hope we did when our...

We Imagine Utopias, But Utopias Don’t Exist

You know the saying, “the grass is always greener on the other side”? It’s human to fantasize about how much “better” things must be for someone else in some other place with different circumstances. We’ve all done this. I’ve seen this fantasy manifest in its own...

The Wisdom of Improv

I took an improv class years ago in NYC. I wanted to improve my presentation skills and figured being thrown into a situation where I needed to think on my feet would help me “roll with it” at work.  It did. And then I forgot about improv until picking up a book...

Stuck on a Problem?

I decided to pick up the violin in my 30s.  I have no previous experience with music or instruments, so I knew it’d be a steep learning curve. Currently: I suck to anyone with ears. But watching myself improve ever-so-slightly, week after week, for the last 3 months...

Confidence is a Result, Not a Prerequisite

Confidence is a Result, Not a Prerequisite

We have a tendency to wait until we’re “ready”. Wait until we’re a better writer. Wait until we’re a better speaker. Wait until we have more experience leading. Wait until we know more.  We often wait because we feel we lack the knowledge or skills - we’re not very...

The Wisdom Of Second-Guessing the Obvious

  Have you ever thought something was obvious, only to learn others don’t see it that way? I have 🙃. Our personal experiences shape our point of view. Similarly, others’ personal experiences shape their point of view. When we look at things this way, it’s easy to...
