Living More Authentically
Sometimes, at cocktail parties and wedding receptions and barbeques, when the “so, what do you do?” question comes from a stranger, I’ll simply say, “I’m a coach.” Then they say, “oh, like a…like a….sports coach?” Being someone who has played sports for a total of about five minutes in my lifetime, someone who significantly lowered [...]
Fabulous artwork by Mati Rose We need space for dreaming. Spacious space. Lengths of time. Dreams don’t fight for attention. They don’t yell over noise. Sometimes a dream will interrupt and assert itself, but mostly dreams speak when invited. Dreams speak when we ask: What do I want? What’s my dream? What’s my dream for [...]
I saw a lot of bad art this weekend. And I was moved to tears by it. I was crying from the moment I walked in to the San Francisco open studios exhibition, because what I found there, inside a nondescript warehouse, was twenty or so brightly lit artists spaces, full of music, happy artists, [...]

I coach brilliant women, lots of them. Dedicated, talented, brilliant women. Most of the time, they don’t know their brilliance. They are certain they “aren’t ready” to take on that next bigger role. They are more attuned to the ways they aren’t qualified than to the ways that they are. They are waiting for someone [...]
Hi there, Writing with a quick update on two recent articles I have around the web. 1. “5 Steps to Transforming Your B+ Life” at Huffington Post. This (the B+ life) is one of my favorite topics – personal to me and something that resonates with everyone I talk to about it. You may have [...]
“I’ve been thinking of a plan of action to remove myself from the situation without feeling like I just wasted 2 years.” Katie shared this in a recent blog post comment. We’ve all been there – feeling regret or frustration about a work or relationship situation, and feeling like we’ve wasted years. Katie’s comment got [...]
