Finally! Something From Me To You!

Time to read: 48 seconds

I'm excited to announce a FREE live experience for you! (If you already know you want to sign up for Hope in the Everyday do so here.)

Early in the pandemic, back when we all had oodles of energy, I offered free classes, a daily check in on Zoom, and written resources about working from home. Then we got tired. And busy. Then, frankly, exhausted. You (and I) did not have one tiny shred of energy for anything else, even if that thing was good.

We're back! We're not back to 100% yet, and I've noticed recently that my clients and students have more mental bandwidth to reflect, ask big questions, and make conscious decisions. I also have more energy to create.

Many of you have reached out to ask when I'll offer free resources again. The answer is NOW!

You are invited to a 3-part live experience called Hope in the Everyday.

In three 60-minute live events (August 25, September 8 and 22), we'll assess the current state of your work and life, build skills for hope and well-being, and create an action plan to bring all that learning into your real life and career. If you've ever attended one of my events in the past, you know they are lively and relevant. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. Get more info and sign up to join Hope in the Everyday.

How Wide is Your Shadow?

Time to read: 33 seconds

I drew this. I have never drawn anything in my life and lately, I've discovered the wonders of drawing.

Here's my skinny on leadership: Leaders take responsibility for their world. Everyone is a leader 24/7. That means you. All the time.

Why am I talking about leadership today?

You are a leader…at the office (regardless of your role), at the grocery store, in your family, and in your community. Each of us is responsible for our corner of the universe, and part of my leadership is helping you define your world and learn to take ownership of it. Your shadow combined with the other 2999 Corporate Rebel shadows adds up to an awful lot of goodness in the world.

That matters. A lot.

And we've been tired. Exhausted even. Taking responsibility for even one more thing has felt impossible. And, we're creeping back. Slowly. I invite you to consider one small way that you can take more ownership/responsibility for your corner of the world. Here are some ideas:

• Have that hard conversation to clean up an important relationship.
• Examine the places you are short-tempered and address them.
• Rest so you have good energy for your life and work
• Create something

I haven't had the energy to create anything new for close to two years. (Remember all the great free offerings at the beginning of the pandemic? Daily calls. Short courses. Oh, how I miss seeing you.) I've taken responsibility for many corners of my world and finally, I have bandwidth to create again. For YOU!

Next week I'm announcing something awesome, and free, and meaningful, and awesome, and free for you. Bear with me for a few weeks. I'm excited to finally have something to give you. You're gonna get an email or two about this. Watch your inbox next week. It's coming!

Who Is In Charge of Your Life And Career?

Time to read: Time to read? Less than one minute. Time to choose a time to chat? 30 seconds

One of my clients just quit her job. Her career and life purpose were skyrocketing when Covid hit and pulled out the rug. It's hard to find traction again when so much has changed. She's finding it hard to feel hopeful when the world outside her home is fundamentally different than it was even a few weeks ago. She's exhausted and frustrated. She's one of the most powerful leaders I know, and thank goodness she is taking the summer off to rest and regroup before jumping back into the arena.

Can you relate?

In our conversation we talked about how no one is coming to save her. The curtain has pulled back, and we've all seen that there is no Oz. That sentence sounds dire. Does part of you wish there were something, someone, anything (e.g. a boss, a workplace, a job change, a local or national leader, a new hobby) that would fix things? I know I wish for that sometimes (even if that Oz would simply make dinner.)

Actually, knowing there is no Oz puts the power back in your hands to craft your life and choose the experience you want to have every day at work and at home. No Oz means you decide when you need to rest and recover. No Oz means you determine your perspective. No Oz means you choose to suffer or live with ease and elegance. That is hopeful and empowering.

If you're wondering how to claim that agency and ownership, I have good news.

My signature 10-month group coaching program, Clarity U, starts again this Fall. This program is so good that friends of graduates reached out to sign up before official enrollment started. There is a terrific group already waiting for you.

If you'd like to learn how to craft work and life on your terms, let's chat! In 30-minutes, we'll talk about what's going on in your world, I'll make a suggestion or two, and we'll determine if Clarity U is your next step. Choose a time on my personal calendar here.
