I’m going to share a little bit about the really important things to put into place once you are coming back or returning to something.
Read MoreThe process of going through my pregnancy taught me a lot about leadership - specifically, my leadership. I love the relevance of this topic because when I work with clients, I always tell them that even if they hire me for x, we're also going to end up working on y together. In other words, even if someone hires me for one area of their life, we’re naturally going to end up coaching in other areas.
Read MoreMany of us think through the lens of, “The only reason I would ever need to worry about that is if I want to have kids one day.” And while that is my personal reason for figuring out this topic, it’s super valuable for any and every business owner or leader. We should all be able to make sure our teams can run without us.
Read MoreToday’s topic is one of my favorites to discuss with leaders. While this isn’t the first time I’ve written about it, it's one of those topics that's worth revisiting over and over again, until every person I work with really understands its value.
I’m talking about self-sabotage – and not just any kind of self-sabotage.
Read MoreAre you indispensable or are you invaluable as a leader?
If you looked up those words in the dictionary, I’m sure they’d have very similar definitions. But when it comes to being an effective leader, I assert that it’s critical for you to move from being indispensable to being invaluable in your role.
Read MoreAs a new leader or business owner, you might finally be at the point in your life where you’ve allowed yourself to build the team you always wanted. You’re no longer alone.
Read MoreIt didn't feel appropriate to write about coaching without acknowledging what's going on in our country right now. I’m referring to the shooting that took place in Atlanta, which robbed the lives of eight people, mostly Asian-American women.
Read MoreDo you want to succeed in multiple parts of your life? But does it sometimes feel like you can only get one part to “work” at any given time? Then keep reading, because today’s blog is for you.
Read MoreThis month marked my five-year anniversary as a coach. Time flies when you're having fun! When a milestone like this comes around it is natural for me to do some reflecting and I’m excited to share some of the memories I’ve been thinking about.
Read MoreOften, how we end things is also how we begin things. Let’s talk about my favorite three-step tool being intentional about a new project or endeavor.
Read MoreYou might be surprised to learn about a common theme I’ve noticed with myself, my clients, and colleagues, as we’ve all come back from our holiday break.
That theme? A resistance to planning 2021.
If you’re in this stuck, unmotivated, or “I just don’t want to” camp, I have four areas to support you.
Read MoreI spent the last month – also known as national novel writing month, NaNoWriMo – writing 50,000 words of fiction in 30 days. What an amazing project!
Read MoreI recently worked with a group of other coaches who are newer to the profession. They're honing in on who they want to serve, and how they want to serve them. In our discussion, I noticed a very familiar way of trying to identify who that “perfect person” or “ideal client” would be for each of them.

Read MoreI set out to make 2020 the year had my roar heard for more people in different communities and audiences. And as part of that, I recently sat down with other female leaders and entrepreneurs to record five different podcast episodes to share my story and what I know about leadership development. It was incredibly fun and I can’t wait for you to hear those podcasts. Keep an eye on my social media feeds so you won’t miss them as they are released over the next couple of weeks and months.
Today’s blog is going to cover a common theme that popped up in every single podcast conversation: How to feel nourished as a leader and how to actually allow your community to nourish you.
Read MoreToday’s blog is inspired by a conversation I just had with my cohost, Mery, on our podcast, Coachtaku.
(If you haven’t checked out Coachtaku yet, I highly recommend it. It's about making anime your new life coach. We go into the lexicon of amazing anime – both retro and current – and point to the life coaching themes that occur in these shows. We even offer some coaching pointers to some of the characters, as if they existed in real life. It's amazing.)
The way coaching and animate transitioned into leadership coaching, this week, was during the recording of an episode around coaching teams. Specifically, how do you elevate the voices of every single member of your team?
Read MoreToday’s’ blog is inspired by a real conversation that I had with a client about her core values.
I’m going to share a bit about our session. Keeping confidentially in mind, I’ll share the logistics of the experience but leave out the personal details. We’re going to talk about why values are important as well as why knowing your values is really important.
Read MoreLet’s talk about appreciation and celebration and why they matter.
We associate celebrating with things like birthday parties, weddings, and life events. We don’t associate celebrating with the appreciation of things in our daily lives.
Is that a weird suggestion for a leadership coach to make? Well, my assertion is that celebration and appreciation are even more important in leadership development.
Read MoreLet’s talk about feelings versus commitments.
Specifically, what does it mean to choose from our feelings versus to choose from our commitments?
This is a really appropriate topic for me, this week, since I almost didn’t write anything because of how I'm feeling. I’m going to use myself as an example to talk about feelings and commitments and where we choose from. We’ll also talk about applying this concept to yourself.
Read MoreIf you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ve seen the teaser for my brand-new podcast that I’m co-hosting: Coachtaku.
This podcast is all about making anime (Japanese animation) your life coach. It’s been a project that my good friend Mery J Trochez Alberto and I have been talking about since February. We have a couple weeks’ worth of episodes lined that we’ll be releasing every Friday at 9:00 a.m. EST.
