Last Friday was the three-year anniversary of launching this website. As I approach each year’s anniversary, I reflect on what I’ve learned thus far. These are the links to the lessons I learned during my first and second years. As I reflected on year number three, I began to realize that I’m a completely different […]
6 Lessons Learned While Overcoming Paralyzing Perfectionism
For much of my life, I wore perfectionism as a badge of honor. If asked about my biggest weakness in an interview, I would respond that “I’m a perfectionist in everything I do.” During that phase of my life, I was convinced that perfectionism was my greatest strength. Nearly two decades later, I realize that […]
How to Balance Gratitude and Contentment with the Drive to Improve
Have you ever felt like your feelings of contentment weren’t enough? Worried that you aren’t showing enough gratitude for all that you have? But still feel you should be striving for something more?

My Promise to You! – What I Look for in Coaches and Mentors

One Question That Brings Extra Clarity to Decision Making
I’m one of those people who struggles with decision-making. I’m wired to want all the details before I jump in. If I’m not careful, this can lead to paralysis by analysis.

Here’s Why You Should Stop Trying to Do it All
There’s one major pitfall when it comes to personal improvement that I fail to mention often enough. We tend to get super excited about the changes we’re making.

Do unto yourself as you would do unto others. And love yourself as your neighbor. No, I assure you that’s not a typo. In working with high achievers, I get to meet amazing people. These are people I admire and look up to. So I’m always surprised to see how hard they can be on […]

Do you find language as fascinating as I do? English is one of the most complicated yet interesting languages. It’s likely to have more words than any comparable language. I often find myself looking up words and researching their origin while I’m reading and writing. Sometimes I stumble upon a truly life-changing word, like kairos. […]
How would your life be different if you adopted this phrase?
Life! One day everything is magical and going better than you could ever imagine. Then in a moment, everything seems to go wrong. You wonder what is going on. Is this some sort of karmic backlash? We all have days like this. For some of us, it’s years. Life can be really hard sometimes. I’m […]
