Gritty... the # 1 Predictor of Success! If you’ve ever felt the gap between the life you have and the one you sense is possible… keep reading. You want to know what’s waiting for you at the intersection of Clarity & Courage? It’s the life you’ve always known, somewhere deep inside, that you are capable of. It’s the inner strength to just be who you are… unapologetically. It’s the end of self-betrayal.   The end of the voice of the inner critic sabotaging your best. The end of

What if the most important part of your year is happening right now, in these last few weeks of November? Before December sweeps us into its swirl of celebrations, commitments, and interruptions, this is the moment to pause. This is the real end of the fall quarter… the perfect window to reflect before the world gets noisy again. Wherever you’re reading this, let me invite you to take a couple of relaxed, deeper abdominal breaths.  Let your jaw, neck, and shoulders soften.  L

My mom really struggled with getting caught up in the news.  She struggled with her mental health for much of her life.  And I picked up many patterns from her.  No blame… she was doing the best she could with all she endured.  When my anxiety hit all time highs about 10 years ago while going through divorce, business challenges, watching the news (97% negative and sensationalized), and being generally unfocused and disorganized – it started to spiral a bit for me.   I starte

Gritty... the # 1 Predictor of Success! No, no. It’s much deeper and more important to your success than that. And grit has major ramifications for whether you’ll reach that big, hairy, audacious goal you’ve been thinking about in the quiet corners of your mind. Being gritty is the top # 1 predictor of success. Not talent.  Not education.  Not even relationships. The top predictor of your success is grit. And for clarity’s sake, where resilience is more about your abilit

Thinking Time is Critical to Elevated Performance That’s a phrase the U.S. Marines live by - operating with precision under pressure . And it all starts with space. Space - such a great word and concept here. I just like saying it. It’s one of my favourite ideas in both leadership done well and a life well lived. Not outer space. Inner space.  Your mind, your emotions, and your higher self - the part of you that leads with clarity & courage instead of filtering through fear

I wasn’t sure if I was ready to write about this one today…but fuckit.   Here goes… I fucked up last Friday.   I started a new leadership group, got a handful of amazing leaders to say yes to it…then forgot to email 3 of them the actual cost and particulars email.   And I learned about it while on the intro Zoom call with most of the group. Ouch. If you think like me, you’ll be like, “How the hell do you forget to email that??” I know.   Gapped huge… Here’s the thing though…

...then how will this change how you operate? What if it’s true what Dr. Joe Dispenza and others say - that you create your own reality? ...That your inner world - your thoughts, emotions, and energy/resonance - shape what you experience outside of you? And what if what’s “true” for you is simply what you believe the deepest?    And how deeply do you feel that all that you believe is the “100% right & truthful” accurate version? What if it’s true that ALL of your suffering (p
