Something I heard from a female executive client yesterday is: ‘While I’m confident in my leadership abilities, I am not so good at pausing to reassess ‘what’s next’ for me or resetting my goals and legacy that I’d like to leave.’
As the summer season draws to an end, I find it an opportune time to reassess and realign my personal and professional goals. In the video below, I share my personal approach to my own summer reset—habits and goals I have focused on during these months.
The Myth of Perfection in Leadership
One of the key takeaways from this is the acknowledgment that even coaches and leaders are constantly evolving. I don’t buy into the myth that leaders have everything figured out when it comes to habits and routines. It’s important to understand that the journey towards improvement is ongoing and that perfection is not the goal. This perspective is crucial for female leaders who often face immense pressure...
Would you believe I recorded this video message for you BEFORE Noah Lyles won his gold medal and shared this quote on X, following his performance in the men’s 100-meter final on Sunday, Aug. 4?
Maybe that’s why I absolutely LOVE what he said:
“I have Asthma, allergies, dyslexia, ADD, anxiety, and Depression. But I will tell you that what you have does not define what you can become. Why Not You!” ~Noah Lyles
As I walked along the beach in Little Compton, RI, I started contemplating success and personal ambition.
We were fortunate enough to be housesitting a spectacular home overlooking the ocean. Rather than think of myself as a visitor, even an imposter, in someone else’s amazing home on 10 acres of land with a private beach, I thought ‘why not me’?
The home, land, and ocean were speaking to me and saying, ‘Stop looking at your feet for the shells, look out into the vast ocean for what’s possible...

After researching, studying and working with the Top 1%, I’ve learned that there are are similarities and differences between world-class performers and everyone else. Everyone experiences anger, fear, frustration, and doubt. Everyone. There’s one important difference though that, that sets the best apart from the rest. It’s that world-class performers are intimately and vividly aware of what they want and why they care so deeply.
Maybe you’ve heard that before, but do you know how to uncover your why?
Your real why.
Regardless of what your next level of ambition is, it might be hard. Maybe really hard. What will get you to your next finish line or to your own personal Olympics is being intimately aware of why you care about it. This will prove as your biggest cheerleader, and it will extend a lifeline when you want to quit.
We’ve...
Is it possible that you have everything it takes to achieve what you yearn for and what, I believe, is already rightfully yours? Maybe the reason why you have not achieved the level of success you want and deserve is because of the limitations you place on yourself.
I know that was the case for me up until three years ago. How could I go from having a thriving yet (very) small private practice to helping thousands? To help the masses refine their clarity and gain the mindset required to reach their potential, to arrive at their Olympics? Who would listen to me and find value in what I had to say at Fortune 500 companies in San Francisco, Silicon Valley and globally? I consider myself as a relatively smart person, but that was sure stupid thinking.
Companies like Google Ventures, Autodesk, CapitalOne, Bank of America, and VMware (to name a few) have listened the last couple of years. Up next, a national podcast tour for my upcoming...
