“You have brains in your head. You have feet in

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”⁠

#Microadventures for the win! Claimed 2 hours for myself at the start of a meeting marathon day.

Key insight: if you don’t take control of your time, someone else will. What micro #adventure can you fit in this week?

What does working in the coaching and speaking pro

What does working in the coaching and speaking profession look like? ⁠
⁠
Here's a glimpse of what it looks like the way I do it. 👉🏼 👉🏼 👉🏼⁠
⁠
Some days are on a stage. Others days are 1:1 with a client in nature. Some days are in a conference room. Other days are in front of my laptop. Some days are in "pinch-me, is this really work?" settings. Other days are tough, with the normal challenging moments of owning your own business.⁠
⁠
I work most weekends. I fly & go on adventures on weekdays. I take time off when I want it. It's harder for me to make myself stop working & creating than it is to start.⁠
⁠
I work more each week than I ever did in a corporate job. I also take more time off in larger chunks.⁠
⁠
The only script I'm following is the one I write each day. I've gotten some things right & built on that success. And I've failed a lot as well, and built on those failures.⁠
⁠
13 years ago when I burned the boats and set off full-time on this path, I had no idea it would evolve like this. But the ingredients were there and I never ran away from them.⁠
⁠
Key message here: Own your ingredients & relentlessly apply them to the way you want to live and work. Ignore the doubters, critics & haters and keep being 100% you without a filter.⁠

Sage advice from @drycreekdewayne

Forgive, move forward, and use this gift of time that’s right in front of you.

Life's melody can sometimes get out of tune, off-b

Life's melody can sometimes get out of tune, off-beat, and out of sync with what you intended. But you have the power to hit pause, restart, or simply write a new tune. YOU have that power, so use it!⁠
⁠
Speaking openly, I focused so hard on my business the past few years that I lost my connection to sport and to my inner athlete. My business grew and so did my weight, and inversely, my ability to perform in sports. I have many excuses, and they are simply that, excuses. ⁠
⁠
Enough was enough, so I hit pause on my out-of-sync life song 2 months ago, sent my ego away, and started over. ⁠
⁠
The results have been mind-blowing for me. Reconnecting to my athleticism from a decade ago, that's just priceless.⁠
⁠
If you ever lose yourself, especially if you're in the world of helping people find themselves, don't hesitate to get that light shined back on your own life.⁠

Thinking back to one of my most memorable experien

Thinking back to one of my most memorable experiences in flight training a couple years ago. Those winds gusts on final! If this wasn’t a “just breathe” moment for a student pilot, I don’t know what else could be!

Sunset flights are bliss.

Ever crossed a bridge that freaked you out a little?⁠
⁠
Sometimes, I breeze across scary bridges with zero fear. Other times, fear kicks in and I think of the many ways I could fall off the bridge more than how to stay on it.⁠
⁠
Last week while cycling through France, this bridge spooked me. At one point, I figured I had a pretty good chance of spontaneously bunny-hopping my bike over that railing. ⁠
⁠
I nearly un-clipped from my pedals and walked the 2nd half, but took a breath and decided that turning the pedals over and over and focusing at the end was the best way across.⁠
⁠
Incidentally, this works in life as well. ⁠

Dreamed up on a cold, dark January day as winter motivation & achieved in June -- our Ventoux project was epic fun with the right dose of suffering. Just as it should be!⁠
⁠
3 days of cycling through central France into Provence followed by a climb of this cycling classic. It's been on my bucket list for a few decades and it rocked and sucked in the most perfect way.⁠
⁠
We lost more than 20kg combined leading up to this experience (thanks @anthonypaulhe) and cycled 24 hours during the 4 days of this adventure project. ⁠
⁠
I can't say more about the value of 1) planting adventure seeds a season or two early and 2) creating adventures with friends. ⁠
⁠
Go do something epic this summer and start planting an autumn/ winter seed right now!⁠

It’s never too late to fall in love with whateve

It’s never too late to fall in love with whatever awakens your heart.

Is saying YES the easy way out? 🤔⁠ ⁠ In man

Is saying YES the easy way out? 🤔⁠
⁠
In many situations, it takes more courage to say no than yes, especially when a yes is the low-risk answer.⁠
⁠
If you believe that no is the right answer for you and your path, and that answer requires courage to voice, then it can be incredibly relieving and invigorating to get that answer out in the open.⁠
⁠
This can apply when choosing the right gig for public speaking - if you're scarce on opportunities, saying no to an offer that is too low or otherwise unappealing can feel impossible.⁠
⁠
By saying no to some things, you're able to say yes to the things that will make more sense for you.⁠
⁠
Listen to your passion & allow "No" to liberate you. All you need to do is fire up the courage!⁠

“Loss is like a wind, it either carries you to a

“Loss is like a wind, it either carries you to a new destination or it traps you in an ocean of stagnation. You must quickly learn how to navigate the sail, for stagnation is death.”⁠
― Val Uchendu ⁠
⁠
When I support people with navigation, we focus early on setting micro goals – key checkpoints along the way that often get overlooked in a race to some end state of perceived perfection.⁠
⁠
We work together with an open heart and deliberate action from checkpoint to checkpoint, with a judgment-free mix of compassion & drive.⁠
⁠
Challenges I've helped people navigate take the form of career change, relationship changes, stress & burnout, taking over a family business or starting a biz, feeling stuck, loss of confidence, etc.⁠
⁠
My toolkit is built from 3+ decades of overcoming adversity and challenges, 2 decades of experience in yoga, visualization and meditation, and 14+ years of full-time coaching experience.⁠
⁠
What are you currently trying to navigate?⁠

Create your own destiny. It's in your hands and yours alone.⁠
⁠
In 2008, if I could have seen 15 years into the future, I would have seen this happy moment on a mountain, in running clothes, doing a site visit for a leadership event while overlooking the bank I used to grind away at. What a feeling to have stuck with it all these years to build a successful business doing what I love!⁠
⁠
If you want it bad enough, never, ever quit. ⁠

Gorgeous ride down the Rhône valley from Valence into wine country to stage for our ride up Mont Ventoux.

I love this part of France. Outstanding day on the bike with my buddy Mike!

This is the most common question I get from aspiri

This is the most common question I get from aspiring speakers 👇⁠
⁠
“How much should I charge for a keynote talk?”⁠
⁠
My passion project this year is to help speakers earn more than they think is possible. I see a lot of speakers significant under-bidding for engagements and sticking with "safe" numbers or trying to link their price to hourly rates.⁠
⁠
The key is to start with demonstrating the value! Then, and only then, put a number on it -- and that number is likely much higher than you think.⁠
⁠
⁠If you need more help leveling up your speaking and negotiation skills to land higher-paying gigs, join the wait list for Mastering the Business of Professional Speaking. ⁠

This is a first-of-its-kind course built for aspiring and experienced speakers hungry to start earning much more than ever imagined. Link in bio to sign up!⁠
