Don’t know what you want? I call this the cloud and if you’re like most people, you’ve been in the cloud at the very least once in your life. If you are like me, you’ve been in the cloud multiple times! Knowing what you don’t want creates more of what you don’t want. If you…
So many people say that they want to be stimulated, inspired, do something different, and my all time favourite, impact change. What does that really mean to you though? I’ve spent a lot of time and energy saying this over and over again and not really doing anything about it. That was my life...BORING! There…
How do you show up everyday for the people in your life? What do you sound like when you pick up someone's call? Here are some things I've heard lately...and only because I've been paying attention. Sonia: "Hey! how's it going?" Other person: "Hi. I'm tired." Sonia: "how come?" Other person: "I don't know I'm just…
It’s amazing how much we can accomplish when we change our habits and thinking patterns. It seems like common sense and yet, many of us fail to put this into practice because we are comfortable staying on autopilot. Autopilot is a state of mind (or lack of a state of mind) and happens to…
Damn she’s mean and tough. I didn’t realize how much this part of me was running my life until yesterday, and to be honest…I don’t like her all that much…. She wants to control everything. Literally everything. When things don’t go her way, she feels bad about it and then beats herself up. What a…
I don’t like to look at things as good or bad anymore. Looking at life as either good or bad is based on perspective and there are plenty of lenses we can be wearing to see a different side to something. Watch Disney’s Wings of Life so you know what I mean by looking at…
Let’s talk Manager versus Employee. There are always three sides to a story. The side the Manager perceives what happened. The side the employee perceives what happened. Then what actually happened without anyone’s perceptions, judgements or beliefs around it. I’ve been lucky enough to experience multiple employers, projects, teams, team members, industries, leadership styles, roles…
Settling is easy. Plain and simple. Some spend their entire lives being "fine" and putting on a façade of being happy. Going after what you want is challenging, uncomfortable, and will always feel like you're in the unknown. Failure doesn't scare us, success does. It’s going after what we TRULY want that terrifies us. Fear is the feeling people spend most of their…
How does it make you feel? I don’t think I’ve been asked the question “how does it make you feel” as many times in my life all in one weekend. This past weekend I was in Detroit retreating. It was one of the most transformational weekends of my life. This weekend was filled with love,…
We're all in this together, the game of life or at least that's the game I want to be playing. If you are someone who thinks life isn't a game, read with caution and be open minded to this post. Life is about strategy and focusing on the right things. If we focus our energy on unimportant…
