Moonshot Mentor with Laverne McKinnon

One of the questions that comes to me most frequently from subscribers is “How do I find a mentor?” I think the real question is “What is no one telling me about finding a mentor?” There’s a lot of research out there about how important it is to one’s career to have a mentor in place, but why is it so difficult to land one?  When I googled the “how do I find a mentor” question, there were a myriad...

Don’t freak out. Or maybe you should. Turns out that your self-doubt may not be because of your inability to own your success. It may be because you are being told that you don’t belong. So yeah, there can be some serious gaslighting going on that has led you to fully own the idea: I’m an Imposter. But maybe Imposter Syndrome isn’t real? Maybe what’s real is that you have been told in subtle and n...

Please don’t judge me for what I’m about to say about my client Chris - that’s not their real name, but what I’m calling them to protect their identity because I value confidentiality. At the same time, Chris has given me permission to share their story and knows that they were making me crazy! They were making themselves crazy too! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with othe...

The Writers Guild of America has gone on strike and I absolutely stand with the WGA. However, no one knows how long the strike will last so that means the movie I was working on is being pushed, the coaching groups and workshops I was planning for the Fall are now on hold, and the low-key vacation that I was going to have with my family in August is on the back-burner. If you’re resonating with wh...

Thrive? After job loss? I never thought thriving was possible after I was fired. And then again when I was laid off, I was at a complete loss. I’m not even sure I knew what thriving meant or if I ever thrived while grinding my way from promotion to promotion and gig after gig. If I’m honest, and I truly endeavor to be (but sometimes I lie to myself!) I felt the sensation of thriving when I got a t...
