The question of when one is ready for business coa

The question of when one is ready for business coaching is very personal. In general, if you think you need it, then you need it now.

Good coaches support you at the most awkward, foggy, and uncertain times to navigate those moments and GROW through them -- not just hang on for the ride. 🌱

The fact that you take a financial risk offers an additional drive to get max value out of it (and out of yourself).
It helps to be transparent with the coach from the start and to tell them what success with their support looks like in your mind, including your ability to recover your investment.

Maybe they'll even challenge you to see a different kind of success or different path --- but ideally, it should all be taking you and your business further than you imagined and proving worth more than you invested in it.

A common area in my coaching work is relationship

A common area in my coaching work is relationship changes, supporting my clients as they navigate life through separation and divorce.

The impact of these types of changes can be intense and far-reaching.

Many find that what worked for enduring prior hardships and challenges may not serve them the same in a relationship change.

While there is a tendency to isolate and experience the depth and breadth of emotions alone, there is immense value in opening the door to connection and support.

Open ears, warm hearts and non-judgemental minds are out there, from friends to therapists to coaches.

"Here, I'll just show you." I'm being coached in

"Here, I'll just show you."

I'm being coached in this photo on how I'm working the stage in a video production session. This was a new experience for me, as I needed to connect with multiple cameras (and future people behind them!) vs. a room full of people. It's much harder to engage with an empty hall than a full one!

After one of the takes, we watched the playback and it clicked in my mind. All the coaching cues I received made even more sense in that moment, as I saw it with my own eyes.

This reminded me of coaching athletes years ago who had a higher level of physical performance than me.

Sometimes, the best way to coach them was simply to show them their execution of a movement on video. And thus a door would open to have a discussion about how they could improve it.

Uninspired? Too busy? Stuck? Overloaded?

Inner Critic says: Lockdown mode, stay put, reduce communications, follow a safe script, ride this dark storm out alone & emerge once it's safe.

Inner Coach says: Get up, walk out into the rain, get wet, talk to someone, be of service, toss the script & improvise
New ideas are found in change.

Breakthrough insights are found in connecting the unexpected. Energy is found through discomfort. Self-pity is released through service. Light follows darkness.

The most surprising type of pre-presentation nerve

The most surprising type of pre-presentation nerves I've felt over the years is the kind that’s completely unexpected.

When I didn't think I was nervous but suddenly heard my voice crack and felt my pulse jump.

“Wait...am I nervous?!” 😳

This requires a quick intervention before you get too much in your head.🧠

Here are the four things I do whenever an unexpected case of nerves arrives👇

👉Embrace it as a moment of humanity and authenticity

👉Break the “4th Wall” & go off script for a moment

👉Relax into the tension & use it to underscore the counter-intuitive

👉Be open, be coachable

The first one will do wonders for any speaker. Whether it’s a paid gig or a presentation in front of your team, you will reach people more through authentic imperfection than a shine so polished that it turns people away from the glare.

Accept the moment as a gift to help draw you closer to your audience, smile, take a breath and move on.

The 4th tips is a great reminder for any job that requires confidence to succeed, as it’s easy to get overly confident to the extent that you don’t listen to critical input from others that will actually help you.

In this photo, I’m being coached by an expert in film and television production.

I teach my professional speaking clients how to use tips 2 & 3 and will soon be sharing video lessons on these topics in my upcoming online course for Business Speaking.

Please message me if you want to stay in the loop on course updates.

It's normal sometimes to feel pulled down by the weight of your past.

Universal nature doesn't make it feel any less intense. Especially in a moment when the clouds descend, the view disappears, and hope appears to hide.

Wind and weather can clear clouds and stun us with a view of what was always there. In the same way, our actions shift weight from our past to openness and hope for the future.

A huge takeaway for me in my public speaking experience:

Confidence is found in navigating the unplanned moments of imperfection rather than holding on for dear life in an attempt to deliver the perfect talk.

A question that drives me that's worth asking yourself as well: if I truly believe that anything is possible – that I could play life like a simulation game and just try all the crazy things that light up my soul, what would I do differently today? That answer can break chains and open doors.

As a life coach, my clients invite me into their w $As a life coach, my clients invite me into their world as a trusted advisor, supporter and guide. Our journey together may include deep dives into their business goals and bucket list dreams. Sometimes, we focus our work together on the launch of a business, book or new career. Other times, it's to create and execute a year of bucket list adventures to celebrate a major birthday or life milestone. More often than not, these types of projects and dreams represent only a small fraction of the underlying themes that capture their energy and heart in a profound way. This leads to deeper work together on personal and sometimes intense areas of human existence, such as relationships, divorce and loss, confidence & self-belief, culture, multinational lives, addiction, career transitions and greater sense of purpose. This is where the deeper work and growth begins, as it touches on all aspects of their lives. In some cases, particularly with respect to trauma and addiction, this work expands to a trusted team to ensure that the highest quality of support, therapy and medical care reaches the client. I greatly value supporting others through complex life challenges while serving on a team of professionals. My coaching practice reaches people primarily by referral, from clients I've served and via those who know my work. Given the nature of the topics my clients and I work on together and my protective nature over their identities and life stories, I limit the experiences I share on social media to general topics and themes that appear the most in my practice. In this way, I believe I can share insights into what people can work on with life coaches and trusted advisors and the type of support that is available. I can also offer a heartfelt look at themes that are more common than many people realize, with the message that you are not alone when experiencing something similar. And lastly, I can share some encouragement to be of service to others and to ask for help when you need it. . . . #coaching #coach #lifecoach #coachinglife #coachlife #growthmindset #selfdevelopment #growth #insight #executives #switzerland$

I'll never forget the feeling six years ago when a

I'll never forget the feeling six years ago when a big transporter truck pulled up to my house and unloaded a pallet full of books from a printing factory in Lithuania. This was on the heels of my signing party for Flow State Runner, one of the most cherished & priceless experiences of my life.

The truck drove away and I stood there in shock seeing boxes full of a few hundred copies of a book I wrote, representing over two years of hard work and sacrifice. I ran around the pallet a few times, bursting with a mix of emotions. Then, I loaded the boxes on a cart to haul them inside.

I just couldn't wait to see it in print though, so right there on the street, I ripped open a box and pulled a book out. Wow, what a feeling! I leaned it against the boxes and snapped this photo.

I picked it up and began flipping through the pages. And at that moment, I noticed that half the pages were printed askew, rendering the book pretty much useless. Ughhh!

The next five books I pulled out were also printed incorrectly. I thought for a moment of just lighting the pallet on fire.

Such a high followed by an immediate low and thoughts I would have to cancel the launch party. Had I not broken my foot kicking a wall when I was 12 (bad hair day), I would have kicked each box into the lake!

Hours later, I had opened every box and set aside 100 misprinted books. In the end, the party was a priceless moment -- I had enough good books on-hand -- and the printing company eventually replaced the misprint books.

I eventually laughed about the situation, and with each passing year, I find more humor in it!

There are so many priceless moments in life that first-time authors experience, moments that they never expected when the journey start. I’ve lived it and I’ve seen it in my clients and writer friends who set out on their book dream path and got it done. For anyone thinking about writing a book, don’t wait – start today. It may change your life.

Each time I speak at a public event, I go into the

Each time I speak at a public event, I go into the talk with the intention to reach even the most challenging audience members and potentially even spark ⚡️ an insight that will help them in some way.

My overarching assumption is that everyone there would benefit from some kind of support.

While 99% of the content may not reach those "in resistance," it just takes 1% to land and leave them with something they can use.

I often start talks by getting this out of the way first. I tell the audience directly that I'm there to spark insights, not to tell them what to do or have them agree with everything I say.

I ask them to be open to having a moment of insight and to be even more open to remembering this insight down the road.

This approach creates a connection early and preemptively defuses awkward moments. It also gives you, as a speaker, space to do your job without being overly concerned with what lands and when/how it lands.

My first major corporate negotiation took place by

My first major corporate negotiation took place by surprise.

Right place, right time. It was holiday season and the lead negotiator suddenly needed someone in the second seat.

I went into the opening session with a belief that the fact I didn’t know what I was doing could be turned into a benefit.

I grabbed onto topics where I felt value could be created and traded. And since I didn’t know how these things were supposed to go, I just stuck with my own style. I learned a Master’s Degree worth of negotiation knowledge in those intense 48 hours. I also landed a new job out of it.

Later, I would attend negotiation courses at prestigious business schools, read countless books and learn from the best in the business on teams throughout countless high-value negotiations. Over time, I built confidence and began to thoroughly enjoy the work.

When I’m coaching my clients through negotiations, whether their industry is music, art or pharma, here are the Top 3 areas we focus on:

1) Operate with an explorer’s mindset: search for value that others aren’t seeing, value that you can offer and that you want. And then, propose trades based on ALL the value you uncover. It’s not always about money – sometimes the hidden value is in time, security, opportunity and recognition.

2) Learn who you are really negotiating with and work toward creating a deal to solve that person’s challenge. Often, it’s a person 1-2 layers away and their needs may be different than the one leading the negotiation. Your ability to see and tap into value creation across multiple levels will go a long way toward getting what you want out of a deal.

3) Be relentless in creativity and in your will to arrive at the outcome you seek. If you want it bad enough, you’ve got to play a bigger game and put more into it than the other side. This often involves patience, tenacity, attention to detail and pure stamina. It can also involve your self-belief. If that’s the case, imagine that you with 10 additional years of life experience, has stepped in to negotiate on your behalf and speak with that level of confidence.

Seasoned negotiators, drop any additional insight in the comments below.

The opportunity to reinvent yourself is yours to d

The opportunity to reinvent yourself is yours to deny.

It's yours to ignore.

And it's yours to act on with all your will.

It is yours.

While we all want to live to our fullest potential

While we all want to live to our fullest potential, sometimes we can be our own worst enemy.

If you find yourself blocked creatively or stuck in a rut, it may be time to take a look within. Are you living with an open heart?

Or are you holding onto resentments and fears that are holding you back?

Consider what it would mean to let go of the past and move forward into the present. What would it feel like to live each day with an open mind and an open heart?

When we live as our best selves, we not only improve our own lives but also the lives of those around us.

So ask yourself: are you getting in your own way? If so, it may be time to make some changes.

Whenever I begin or evaluate a new pursuit, for myself or my clients, I focus on all the potential the experience itself may have, regardless of what it may or may not mean to have a certificate, degree, or award at the end.

If those experiences create excitement, discomfort, and a snowball of new potential, we're onto something worthy of attention.👀

If you're contemplating learning a new skill, don't overthink the physical outcome. If it's piquing your interest, jump in and give it a try.

Getting in front of a room full of strangers and e

Getting in front of a room full of strangers and experiencing the intensity of their attention can be a challenge.🎤

I’ve been doing this for over a decade now, and I still have nervous moments and times when an audience or venue offers me a surprise obstacle. So, how do you know if you have what it takes?

Being a successful, sought-out public speaker requires a few key skills.

👉Room-reading: Read the room enough to connect and adapt, but not so much that the audience overly influences you. Read too much, and you’ll find the one stern-faced person completely checked out and lost on their phone while ignoring the other 99 who are with you and fully engaged. Read too little, and you risk boring and turning away your audience.

👉Vulnerability: Have the courage to be vulnerable and authentic. People connect with other people and with what they see or wish to see in themselves. If you want your message to reach hearts and minds, gain your audience's trust by being 100% you and not some overly-polished image of the perfect speaker. When you have the courage to be vulnerable and authentic, it builds a bridge of trust.

👉Remember who the star is: It’s about the audience, not you. Be empathetic towards your audience and how they can best benefit from your talk. Telling stories is a great way to engage, but a story needs to be offered in a way the audience can use for their own growth and insights, not just as entertainment or boasting.

If you focus on how a story and message can reach the real star–each of the audience members, your message will land, and they won’t forget you. If you have these three areas covered, you have what it takes to be a successful keynote speaker.

And from there, you build additional skills and confidence with each and every talk.

For an overachiever, success may feel fleeting. On

For an overachiever, success may feel fleeting. Once one goal is completed, it's time to tackle the next one. And you're likely chasing parallel big goals and a dozen smaller ones. Advanced degrees, certificates, new start-ups, new income targets, promotions, marathons or triathlons, etc.

An addiction to the chase tends to develop, often at the expense of your sense of fulfillment and inner peace along the way.

Resonate with you?

The chase is powerful. It's intoxicating. It's fuel. And in some ways, it's a reward on its own to be able to wake up each day and work hard on that which excites you. There's immense value in the chase.

The double-edged sword is that an addiction to the chase can become so strong that it blinds you to the feeling of "being" in the moment, to the recognition of your daily investment into your journey and into how you mine all of these experiences to better connect the dots in your big picture.

So how do truly recognize what you've experienced and learned along the way if you're always working towards something else?

The answer lies in the counterintuitive, in slowing down to speed up, in looking for less to see more, and in taking on less to accomplish more.

Sounds nice, but how do you apply it?

Here's a tool I offer my clients👇

🍃 One day a week, challenge yourself to SLOW DOWN. Write this in your agenda at the top of that day and consciously work to do something more slowly than your natural speed. Listening, reacting, breathing – you get the idea.

🍃 Another day, look for a micro-victory in whatever your most complex project is and celebrate that small step forward. This is harder than it seems for highly driven people, which is one reason it's a worthy practice.

🍃 Lastly, once a week strike something off your list without immediately jamming something else in its place. Free yourself with the self-gift of space and time. Reward yourself for creating open space rather than your Tetris mastery skills of always filling it to perfection.
