When you start your career, it comes from knowing what to do; from repetition, mastery, and control.
Then everything changes: the challenges get new, the job description evolves, and suddenly your old source of confidence no longer works.

In a world that changes faster than any job description, ...

Today, I’ve got something short, practical, and powerful for you.

If you feel uncomfortable on camera - good!
You’re supposed to.

Cringe isn’t failure. It’s feedback. It means you’re finally seeing yourself clearly.

And the fastest way to get comfortable?
You need to cringe ASAP.

"Cringe?!" 

She had just come back.
Several months off. Rest. Reflection.

When she returned, she told her company she wanted out of operational work.

They listened. They cared.

Together, they decided to move her into an assistant branch manager position, a role that sounded less intense, more strategic.

You’ve just been promoted from individual contributor to new manager.
It’s supposed to feel like a leap forward.
So why can it feel like a step back?

Because now, you’re not aiming for performance — you’re aiming for leadership.
And as the saying goes: what got you here won’t get you there.

You’re...

My daughter just left for a five-month student exchange in Barcelona.

Watching her pack reminded me of a leadership truth we skip too often: before you lead anyone else, you have to lead yourself.

When someone steps into their first management role, I often see them fall into one of two mental traps:

"This will be easy!"

In those difficult moments, we're often consumed by thoughts like:

"This is so hard!"

"Why me?"

"This is unfair!"

"Why can'...

"Do you have a coach yourself?"

A client—a new manager—asked me that recently.

And I loved that question.

Because I practice what I preach.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve had a number of coaches. Right now, I work with two:

• one helps me build my business,
• The other helps me grow as a coa...

The other night, my 17-year-old son caught me off guard with a question that lingered long after our conversation ended.

"Do you think my generation will have a harder time succeeding?"

I paused.

It's a big question. One that deserves more than a cliché or a surface-level answer.

And after a ...

It's February 3rd. How are those New Year's resolutions holding up?

If you're like most people, the answer is probably: not great.

You started the year pumped up, determined to finally make that big change—hit the gym five times a week, wake up at 5 AM, eat clean, meditate daily, crush your...
