Do you love yourself? It sounds like a simple question, but it can be very challenging to answer truthfully. “Love” is one of the most powerful and emotionally-charged words in the English language. So it may not be so surprising after all that, for many of my clients, engaging with the concept of self-love is…
It’s fantastic to have goals and ambitions—encouraging, even, when you feel as if you’re steering your life in the direction that you see fit—but sometimes the pressure to plan certain aspects of your life can put too much pressure on you, not to mention those around you. While feeling uncertainty can be stressful, I want…
“Happy and free.” I hear those words often as a coach — usually as a goal, a feeling my clients want to find in their lives but aren’t sure how to pursue. But what does that really mean? It’s not as easy a question to answer as it may sound. You can’t take actionable steps…
The greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. -Henri Nouwen There are times when we all feel like we want more, whether personally, professionally, emotionally —or even all the above. We all occasionally long for things like more money, success, connection, meaning, freedom…or maybe just another serving of our…
Have you ever been told that you’re too much? I think that in some point in our lives, we’ve all been told that we are, in one way or another; too loud, too quiet, too goofy, too serious, too calculative, too carefree. As you navigate your life, you’ll find yourself in various situations that have…
Fear is a tricky thing. For some, it can be the enemy — a paralyzing experience, difficult to handle. For others, it may be a driving force. Our relationship to fear is usually complicated and nuanced, and it impacts our lives in many different and highly personal ways. Nevertheless, when it comes to fear there…
It’s a subject I discuss with my clients all the time: Mental clutter. The fast-paced modern world is full of distractions, constantly fighting for our attention. It’s only natural that clutter can accumulate in our minds. However, going too long without tidying things up in there can throw off our ability to stay organized, decisive,…
As a leadership coach, I notice it far too often. People seem to live on autopilot mode and are not even aware of that. But there comes a point when they will pause and wonder whether what they are doing is what they were meant to be doing. Whether this is the life they had always wanted…
All of us, at some point or another, have struggled with handling something all by ourselves: when you’re handling something particularly challenging alone, you’re probably going to feel other avenues of your life being neglected, the burnout and stress creeping in, maybe even depression, anxiety, and more. In times like this, we all need help….
A study was conducted at Harvard in which an app would ping a group of people’s iPhones at different times of the day to ask them what they were thinking about, and what they were doing while these thoughts were occurring. The results were that nearly 50% of the time, people were thinking about something completely unrelated…
People are programmed to keep themselves safe. It’s part of what makes us human. We want to stay healthy, comfortable, and alive because those are the things our brain rewards us for. What would it look like, though, if you took a step outside of your comfort zone? Sure, you can stay where you are,…
Humans are social creatures. We tend to enjoy making connections and meeting new people, which is what sets us up nicely for networking. Networking is taking those natural inclinations to meet other people and putting them in a more professional setting. Networking is great, because you never know how you can help your connections in…
