No matter how daunting or uncomfortable, we all add on layers of learning as we move through life. If we pay attention, each layer offers new perspective, growth, possibility, connection, and experience that helps us move through the layers to come.
So much of my life has evolved since I was unexpectedly thrown into a cancer journey, forced to press the pause button on my tech career, learned unplanned-for lessons, chose to move on from the only career I had known, went all the coaching certifications, built new connections, friendships, clients, book, failure, growth, successes, and the building of The Lens Leadership.

1๏ธโฃ Spend time controlling what you have the power to control. Not what you canโt.
2๏ธโฃ The power of PAUSE is one of the most valuable leadership skills you can practice.
3๏ธโฃ Awareness in leadership is underrated.
4๏ธโฃ Growth is an inside job, and itโs usually uncomfortable.
5๏ธโฃ Curiosity is the key to connection.
6๏ธโฃ Donโt know what to prioritize? Refer to your values (or your companyโs values).
7๏ธโฃ Life is about choice. You have the power to choose how you play your game. You own your results. Want a new result? Make a new choice.
8๏ธโฃ Life is never guaranteed beyond this moment right now. Choose wisely. Now.
9๏ธโฃ You can allow your circumstances to own you. OR you can choose to own your circumstances.
๐ Sure, I can tell you how I might do something, AND great coaching is about empowering you to draw your own conclusions.
1๏ธโฃ1๏ธโฃ There is always another possibility.
1๏ธโฃ2๏ธโฃ You can make all the healthy diet and fitness choices, and STRESS is dangerous. Be mindful of it or it will bite you when you least expect it.
1๏ธโฃ3๏ธโฃ You are not your career.
1๏ธโฃ4๏ธโฃ Reading is fundamental and opens amazing new pathways.
1๏ธโฃ5๏ธโฃ Canva might be the best marketing tool ever invented.
