Get Unstuck Blog

I didn’t know what I was getting into when I officially launched my business in October of 2019. I made my big announcement on LinkedIn after I my website was finally published. Seven official years. I’m trying to remember how I felt then. It was a business launch by default really, because the moment I signed the contract to have my brand website built for thousands of dollars was the day I honored I was giving this new career path a go. I was early on in finding my voice, a

Whether or not you’ve been tuning into the bonus episodes of live coaching with Kathleen on The Unlock Lab podcast, this final session has incredible insights I think you would really benefit from. We’ve been on this journey of Kathleen looking at all the things that have come up as she’s evaluated her career options of corporate and hanging out her own shingle. In this session we started with her discomfort of taking money for something she felt to be a calling, as opposed

It is so easy to start sounding like everyone else - whether you are marketing your own business or managing your personal brand at work. Language gets sanitized, rinsed and repeated. Not only that, but the paradigms of what we have to do can feel old and stale - especially when what you care about most is people. If you want inspiration and tools for hearing your own voice and using language that is uniquely yours in talking about yourself, then let me tell you, session five

As you may have caught on, I’ve been sharing with you some bonus episodes on The Unlock Lab podcast. It’s a series of six live coaching sessions with my client Kathleen. If you’ve been listening you know that there’s been some very strong headwinds to determine the path forward in her career that she wanted to go all in on. Up until this point, she was feeling like she was very much at fork in the road, but somewhere between session 3 and session 4, ‘something clicked’ - as

For a long stretch of my life I could believe things were possible for other people to the moon and back but I just couldn't believe them for myself. When this predicament came up in this week's live coaching session with Kathleen on The Unlock Lab podcast it was all I could do to not reach across the screen and give her a big hug. What we’re talking about here is the difference between enthusiasm and optimism. Enthusiasm is possible by being genuinely excited about something

For years I’ve wanted to give you an all access pass to bear witness to what it takes and what it looks like to experience a big breakthrough, and today you have it. I have wanted this for you because I know how hard it is to stay optimistic about your own possibility when you’re in the thick of when life is life-ing. My client Kathleen (whose name was changed to protect privacy) agreed to be recorded for six full sessions. Thanks to her generosity, you get to go on a journe

Happy September to you and cheers to new months, new beginnings and most importantly, getting unstuck. Maybe it’s not unstuck, so much as you’re facing an obstacle you don’t know how to obliterate, or perhaps you aren’t feeling motivated. Whatever discomfort you might be feeling, I sure would love to help you find your way out of it! I’m hoping that my podcast episode this week can support you in this! The reason why I think it might is because I come clean with the fact th

August 6th, 2018. That was my deadline. I was gonna be a badass and take a leap of faith. My plan was to put in my notice and my job leave corporate, in order to figure out what I wanted next. The leap was about trusting I would figure it out sooner rather than later. Now trust me, entrepreneurship was not the path I was hoping for or wanted. I was hoping I would figure out a new job title that excited me, or a new industry, something, anything that meant I would still get a

A summer trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone became an unexpected leadership classroom. Moose outside the window, 5am wolf watches, and strangers sharing scopes revealed a shared goal among everyone on those roads. Then a bison tossed a man into the air, and the story became spectacle. Nine leadership lessons on perspective, patience, and generosity, ending on a Brooklyn deck with a dragonfly and one reminder: there is always a worthy subject.

Old Faithful erupts every 90 minutes, give or take 12. The eruption itself? Honestly underwhelming. The real magic is that a natural phenomenon can be that predictable at all. Which raises some uncomfortable leadership questions: have you built your reputation on consistency, do you reward the people you can rely on, and do you give them grace when they need it? Results now is the conditioning. Trust is the payoff.
