Don’t look now, but you’re creating results
You’re creating results all the time. Whether you realize it or not. When you… Hit the snooze button for the third time. Put your relationships on the back burner. Don’t pick up the phone and make that call. Postpone working on your dream. Choose screen time over real-time connecting. Refuse to ask for help. Procrastinate […]
Top 10 thoughts it would be better not to think
My undergrad experience is inextricably linked to watching David Letterman. One of my favorite bits was always the Top 10 lists. They had me laughing before the list even began with topics like Top Ten Least Popular Pepperidge Farm Cookies and Top Ten Things Overheard At New York City Pay Phones. I thought I’d […]
Things I would put in the crusher
If I could, I would put limiting beliefs in the crusher I would put mine in And I would put in yours too Things like I’m just no good at… A person like me could never… I should be… I’m not creative enough… I mustn’t because I might fail… I would put them in, one […]
It’s not the job market that will get in your way. It’s you.
I was talking to a great guy recently about his job search. He has an impressive resume of top jobs with organizations familiar to all of us.

Limiting beliefs are sure to keep you stuck
I watch otherwise smart and capable people stay stuck day after day because of limiting beliefs. The person who says, I’m just not creative foregoes opportunities to create.

It shows up in the form of self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and negative self-talk. Does that sound familiar? Do you want to play a bigger game, […]
Where are you settling—and why?
Are you settling? I know, I know. It’s such a loaded question. Because if the answer is “yes”, what do you do with that? What do you do with the knowledge you’re accepting or agreeing to something you consider less than satisfactory? Because THAT is the definition of settling. Accepting something that’s less than satisfactory. […]
What if you’re creating the wrong results?
It used to be a struggle to create the results I wanted in my life. I’ve always been a big fan of setting goals, so that wasn’t the problem. No, something else was going on. I would set a goal and take action, but then struggle to gain traction and sustain momentum. It turns out […]
Top 10 ways NOT to achieve your goals
1. Keep your goal a secret. Whatever you do, don’t tell anyone about your goal. That way no one can rally around you with support, resources, and accountability. Keeping your goal a secret also ensures part of you is hidden away. What’s so great about showing up in the world in an authentic way? 2. […]
What would it take to get unstuck?
Are you stuck? Stuck in an old habit, a dead-end relationship, an unfulfilling job? Stuck in a limiting belief, an out of shape body, a fear that’s holding you back… What would it take to get unstuck? What one thing can you do today—perhaps even right now—as a first step? That one thing could be […]
