Authenticity & Wholeness Coach for Rebels with a Cause
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 [...]

What did I learn while wandering through 14 countries last year with nothing but my camera and my carry-on? In this video, I talk about the #1 skill I developed and how it's relevant for leadership today. If you'd rather read about this idea, head over here for the blog post written in Lyon, France. [...]
From the archives, a post I wrote in January 2020 that's still very relevant! Every year on New Year's Day, I would retreat and spend the day journaling to rehash all the things I hadn't done the previous year, and set goals that I failed to keep for the next. After a few months, I'd [...]
