Visioning 101: Tools You Can Use
As part of my "visioning" series this month, I’ve shared a bit about how powerful a vision can be (if you missed my video, watch this ) and the impact it can have on your future and the next phase of your business, career and life. But how do you actually vision?? While I have my own proprietary process that I take clients through (and you can experience with my Visioning for 2026 coaching special ), there are many ways to do it. Here are a few ideas… Vision boar


My Story & How Visioning “Works”
Today I want to share my story of how I became a coach because it illustrates the power of visioning in a very “real” way. Many are skeptical that you can imagine something and have it come to life. Even though I’m a believer - because this has happened for me in big ways and small - I still feel skeptical at times too. Action is necessary, of course, but your mind and your imagination are literally tools you can use to change the course of your work and your life. The


"Visioning for 2026" Special Coaching Offer
If you’re anything like the women I coach, you’re already thinking ahead to 2026 - not just about what needs to happen, but about what you want most for your business or career. But let’s be honest: creating a powerful vision isn’t always easy. When you’re juggling multiple roles and responsibilities and you have big ideas about your professional and personal growth, it can be tough to balance it all. While you might wish you had a clear direction and solid plan for the y


Why You Second-Guess Your Success
OK, big question...do you believe you deserve success? Hopefully, your first answer is "of course I do!" - whether you consider yourself to be successful now or not. What I’m wondering is how you really feel deep down. In working with high-achieving women for years, I’ve rarely found anyone who doesn't question, at some level, whether she deserves or can handle all she desires. Each woman defines success differently and your version might look very different than mine


How To Be Smart & Follow Your Passion
One of the themes that’s common for my coaching clients is the conflict between taking risks and playing it safe professionally. This can be tough to manage because decisions around what steps to take (or not to take) are unique to each person’s situation, risk tolerance and capacity for change. You might experience this conflict as doing what inspires you or doing what “makes sense”. Making decisions with your head or with your heart. Pursuing your passion or simply payi

When Success Is Stuck In Neutral
The foundation for what I do as a coach is helping women to get clear on their vision and make that vision a reality. For some, that means a career change. For others, it means a new business. For most, it means reshaping their work and their life so they’re more successful, more effective and much happier. Making a vision into reality sounds like a tall order…and it certainly can be. While the experience is different for everyone, the process can be wonderful, exciting a
