How to use your mid-career crisis as a catalyst to launch the most productive, satisfying stage of your career.

Emphasizing the communal nature of delegation can help women see that it’s not bad, and can encourage them to delegate more. That’s good for you and for your team.

If you’re checking the boxes and not challenging yourself to do what’s scary, or what you thought you never could do, you’re missing the chance to learn what a real work ethic is.

Are you unhappy at work? Deciding to love your job is the first step to creating a path that inspires and energizes you.

The foe of progress is stasis. The source of stasis is indecision. The root of indecision is fear.

Paralyzed because you don’t know where to start? The answer is easy. Because you already know it.

Here’s how to figure it out in two easy steps.

Work is one of the most socially acceptable ways to distract you from dealing with difficult feelings or life decisions. Coaching can uncover why, and help you find meaning in your professional life without overwork.

Your tolerance for fear and anxiety are your passport to growth. There’s no way around those feelings when you’re a startup founder.

Don’t measure the value of what you’re doing by counting the number of hours you’re working. Instead, ask yourself whether you’re living up to your potential. It’s not easy to take a hard look at how you’re spending your time, but it’s worth it.

I just hit a big goal. I’m supposed to be happy. But I’m not.

Imagine what it could feel like to wake up tomorrow knowing that what you plan to complete is as good as done.

Look for the times, places and people that will give you the questions you haven’t thought of before.  Those are the ones that may catch you off guard. But what if you welcomed that discomfort?

Many of us have manuals for workplace behavior.  But it’s the very place to let go of them. 

If you’re working too hard to connect with people, it could be a signal to examine how much you care about what you’re doing.

In my view, a choice involves considering available alternatives. When making a decision, you are envisioning the end point, then creating the way to get there.

It’s challenging to let go of what is known and certain and comfortable. And it’s inevitable that, instead of embracing change, we’ll focus on why we can’t progress.

You can hold onto what you’re doing with the knowledge that things will be done just as you think best. But you may never learn if that really is the best way. And you will definitely not grow as a person or as an organization without delegating.

Executive Presence needs to be authentic. That means understanding who you are and how you come across, then doubling down on projecting what makes you unique in order to convey that you are clear on your strengths, and that you value being who you are and your ideas.
