Coaching & Strategy for Rebel Founders
I recently read an article about a man who got his arm stuck in a toilet while he was fishing for a dropped cell phone. He was stuck there for hours, but it could be worse. There’s the French grandmother who got trapped in her own bathroom for over three weeks. Or the 18 people [...]
When computers get bogged down and stop performing well, “defragging” is often the first step. It’s the process of sorting through all the fragments of files and programs that have been spread across the hard drive and grouping them back together in a way that the computer can easily access them. Imagine if you had [...]
You probably know that focus helps minimize overwhelm and make progress.... building steadily towards a new future. But for rebels who are wired to see infinite possibilities, focus often means boredom. Not only are you unsure you can focus, you're not sure if you want it! I created the below video a few months back [...]
As a Rebel, you're a skilled dot connector.... but sometimes you feel like the odd-dot out, not woven into the fabric of mainstream life and work. Maybe you've adapted to fit the pattern instead of designing a pattern to fit you. The core principles of the Intentional Rebels transformation program are Authenticity & Belonging: finding your true [...]
Creating something brand new is messy. We rarely get it right the first time, and that's ok! Let's replace pesky perfectionism with play. As Edison famously once said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Since we're usually only permitted to see final results, I'd like to give you a peek behind the [...]
Someone recently asked me how I help people gain clarity on what they really want, especially if they tend to be dazzled by too many possibilities (multi-potentialites and ADHD peeps, I see you!) It took me a few decades to realize that the answers can't be found in my overactive brain. Instead, they reside in [...]
How the act of creating art mirrors our own minds.
I lost my eyeglasses last weekend while hiking in the mountains: snazzy designer glasses that I'd worn for years, but were admittedly less than perfect. They were constantly sliding down my nose unless I kept tightening the arms; the lenses were scuffed from being dropped too many times; one of the lenses was cut for an astigmatism that had miraculously cured itself a [...]
If you haven't seen Ethan Hawke's video on TED's YouTube channel, you're missing out. It's called Give Yourself Permission to Be Creative, but it's really about giving yourself permission to be yourself. https://youtu.be/WRS9Gek4V5Q My favorite quote: "What do you love?... if you get close to what you love, who you are is revealed to you." Amen. Too often, we try [...]
"If I'm lucky, I'll fail." I overheard this eyebrow-raising thought while making breakfast in my rooftop nest in Tel Aviv last summer. I considered myself lucky to hear it: usually our subconscious minds hide these heresies with Cloaks of Invisibility. But I caught mine unawares this particular morning; either that, or my subconscious finally grew [...]
