In just 15 minutes, we witnessed that exact moment of wisdom becoming visible right before our eyes. (Big thanks to Kate for generously allowing us to sh...

Have you noticed how a coaching session can turn into a Netflix mini-series in about thirty seconds? Your client starts describing what happened, the cast of characters grows, sub-plots multiply… and before you know it, you're as tangled in the narrative as they are.  When we get lost in the story, it's hard to help them find the way out. In this week's short clip I share the mindset shift that ke...

This week, I'm sharing a reflection on a topic that's fascinated me for a long time: vision, purpose, and the question of goals.
