Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify How do you connect seemingly opposing worlds? Not distant galaxies or parallel dimensions, but the ones right here on Earth. Imagine one world feeling like an alternative universe compared to the other. Yet, you’re tasked with making both these worlds your home and an integral part of your existence.

Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify Many people write New Year’s resolutions with the hope that this year will be different. They set goals for themselves, only to find themselves writing the same goals again the following year. It can feel like a never-ending cycle of progress and regression. The problem is that there seems to be progress at the beginning, but then the bridge to cross to the promised land of achievements and goals is missing. What is that bridge? The bridge is called discipline. Without discipline, it’s difficult to achieve our goals and see that pot of gold at the end of the…

Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify During this time of year, we can sometimes feel very much invisible. All the work we put in to help others is not always given its just due. We’re passed over or ignored. We’re not recognized for our talent or worth. We’re not noticed for our simple humanity. The holidays can be a difficult time for many people, and one of the reasons is the feeling that no one sees them. No one acknowledges them. No one recognizes them. It can be a horrible feeling when we should feel seen the most. In this next podcast, we’re going to…
Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify During the pandemic, we were forced to find a new normal on how to do life. Making our home our new office caused that shift. For the first time for many, work, and life blended together. Some enjoyed it and have kept it after the pandemic. Others have said no way and prefer to keep the two separate. Many in both groups are still struggling to find that sweet spot where they feel they have hold of their life and not being tossed to and fro by work and life. As the holidays are now here, the pace of…
Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify In a world filled with challenges and crises, our collective wellness faces a daunting test. The relentless exposure to negative news often leaves us emotionally adrift—caught in a whirlwind of sadness, frustration, and anger. With each passing day, hope seems to slip away. But amidst this storm, psychologists help us identify a lifeline that we easily overlook: gratitude. It’s a simple yet profound remedy—one that can elevate our spirits and reshape our outlook. Not only feeling grateful but also expressing it to others can work wonders. As we approach this special time of year, let’s allow it to rekindle…
Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Who am I?” Or has someone else asked you, “Who are you really?” Many people are pondering this question, and some are struggling to answer this fundamental question of their existence. It’s a question that begs the person asking, “Do I really understand myself?” Sometimes we do, but many times we don’t, and we need help to discover who we are. Think about the opportunities lost, conflicts created, and relationships that fell apart all because we didn’t take the time to “know thyself.” This is crucial to being the best person we…
Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify In these polarizing times, corporate leaders, especially executives, are expected to navigate tough conversations where they must be truthful, integral, compassionate, and wise all at once. It’s not an easy tension, and leaders are showing how much coaching they need to balance the forces in this four-point shape. They must figure out how they can create a space of understanding where their staff may not all agree but can agree to disagree agreeably. It is critical for leaders to create this space. It is also critical for leaders to have this skill. Otherwise, workplace incivility will take over workplace…
Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify When was the last time you celebrated the process of change? Feeling the rhythm and joys of change is not something most people think about. Many times, moving through change brings frustration, impatience, and stress. People often curse the change taking place. But what if we embraced change? What if we had a mindset that sees change as an opportunity to thrive, not just survive? Where would it take us? Where would it take you in your career and life? This mindset can help you navigate through the discomfort of unfamiliar situations and help you grow in your career…
Subscribe: iTunes / Spotify Many people suffer from the pain of regret, which may be more intense than the pain of failure. Regret leaves us wondering what could have been, while failure gives us a clear answer. We can move on from failure, but not from regret. The ghost of regret haunts many of us as we march toward the end of our lives. It whispers to us: “If only you had more courage, if only you took some risks, things would be different now.” But we can’t change the past, we can only shape the future. And to do that, we need…
