Sally Push Up Challenge
This is the Sally Push Up Challenge. I’ve been training for months to do it. Tomorrow I’ll share my tips that made this happen. My next goal will be 10 unassisted pull-ups (please hit me up with any tips to do this!) .
You need to buy a ticket
Today’s post is courtesy of Jake, a client I work with, who shared this joke on our call yesterday which made me laugh. A man wanted to win the lottery, so he prayed to God to help him. But he didn’t win. He prayed again to God to help him win the lottery, but again […]
We have a problem
How are mistakes and problems handled in your team? Do people respond with anger or frustration when they are raised? If so, consider the incentive this is creating for people to speak up. If people grow wary of bringing up a little mistake, how motivated will they be to bring up a major one? .

Sense-check your reasoning
I once had a coaching conversation with a business owner who was debating a big decision. Their lease was coming up for renewal and they didn’t know whether they should extend the lease for 1 year or for 5 years. They were intent on taking the 5-year option for one reason – it came with […]
