With the advent of social media came a new communication reckoning. A more fluid path to share ideas, opinions, experiences & observations. We wrote, we read, we liked, we shared, we commented. We opened ourselves to being influenced in ways we had never imagined. Yet, one area still seems largely impervious to change; remaining petrified…
Victor Freitas @unsplash One thing is evident. We cannot expect to draw against a core that has been woefully neglected. Following this thread, I thought it might be appropriate to share a few articles from the The Core Masterclass reading list — which is designed to build awareness about this very topic. If you read…
Katarina Sikuljak @unsplash Most of us would hesitate to admit that we are not reading (or not reading nearly enough). There is an unspoken pressure to do so — with so many messages that tell us that more books is, well, just more. I do a fair share of my reading on-line, in the form…
Photo by Ruslan Burlaka on Pexels.com Living through history has again challenged us in ways that we could never have anticipated. It has forced decisions we never thought we would have to make, brought moments of both fear & relief and decidedly rearranged us as people. It has revealed our unheralded strengths — and chinks…

Amanda Kloska @unsplash "Yeah, it might be all that you get. Yeah, I guess this might well be it." - Theme from Ted Lasso, by Marcus Mumford & Tom Howe During a coaching session, a client & I stumbled upon a vein of the past involving a less than perfect manager. The relationship ended years…

Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com I've been suffering from writer's block. I've never experienced this state of mind personally, and my tool kit to combat it isn't fully built. The experience could be the cumulative result of so many factors; the pandemic, family challenges/changes and my own evolution. On some level, I view this "forced…
Alexander Schimmeck @unsplash As a coach, it is vital to reflect upon my own work life and learn from its experiences. Ultimately, offering advice without introspection — could read as empty & hollow. As with most career journeys, there have surely been highs & lows. I've held roles that were for the most part glorious,…
Aron Yigin @unsplash I've been on somewhat of a bent lately — sharing both observations & articles (my own included) concerning job fit. Perspective is key here. Particularly if & when, we are stuck with one way of examining how we align with our work. At a root level, this topic occupies a good deal…
taiscapture@unsplash I can only think of a handful of moments that would have been a more challenging time to enter the world of work. (The economic of crisis of 2008 quickly comes to mind.) In today's pandemic world, job interviews are likely remote experiences & the flow of your job search may feel weirdly isolated…
Art: Monica Bond @ https://www.ciaozen.com As many of us are, I am particularly hard on myself when it comes to work life. I participate in egregious inner conversations concerning a host of topics; including an inability to tolerate boredom and a long-standing uneasiness speaking in front of large groups. When these arguments arise, I am…

Within our work lives…
