The world is changing faster than we’ve ever seen before. And it’s not waiting around for any of us. This rapid increase in the pace and intensity of work, technology and globalization is disrupting our organizations, our communities and families, and our health. As much as we’d like to gracefully navigate the ceaseless change and constant challenges, the reality is much more chaotic. 

Stress. Anxiety. Impostor syndrome. Frustration. We’ve all been there as we maneuver personal and professional demands. It’s understandable and completely natural to get overwhelmed. It can feel like everything is happening to us; like we’re leaves being blown around in the wind. And when we’re overwhelmed we push harder to keep up, creating a vicious cycle where we rarely have a moment to consider those fundamental questions at the core of what it means to be human. 

Who am I? Who do I want to be? What do I really want? 

Now picture a life where these demands and challenges can be harnessed as fuel to grow and thrive. Instead of life happening to us, we are the architects. Armed with space, clarity, intention and confidence, anything is possible. Success and authenticity radiate from within to create harmony and results without.

It all starts with self-awareness. It’s the precursor to Emotional Intelligence - the ability to be aware of and manage our own emotions, as well as to be aware of the emotions of others and effectively navigate our relationships with them. We can only manage that which we're aware of. There’s a game to be played with the stories and narratives we author everyday around our experiences. More often than not, the game plays us. 

Good coaches recognize the patterns and stories that keep clients stuck. Rare is the coach who can break down precisely how clients perpetuate these patterns and stories, and then illuminate the practical action steps to move from disempowered and trapped to clear and confident.
