Tomorrow I’ll be perfect?
I grew up as a big Toronto Blue Jays fan. Some of the most heartbreaking times of my childhood came when watching Jays ace pitcher Dave Stieb miss out on his chance at a no-hitter or a perfect game in the final inning on three separate occasions in the late 1980's. It...
Business as usual
Earlier this week I had someone complain that I had the audacity to make a business offer during this time. Actually, It's been business as usual for me during this Corona thing … When I say "business as usual", I mean with my business, not my personal life....
From corporate world to coaching world
Here's a post that I saw in my Facebook group last week: ===== "Do you find that your ex-corporate background is having an impact on how you run your business? I was talking with someone yesterday who, like me, is from a corporate background and he was saying that it...
The benefits of staring at a white wall
I draw inspiration for personal development from the strangest places … I’ve previously talked about taking lessons from a movie about cooking (weird, I know), but this is something more up my alley: a Netflix series about a superhero. In "Daredevil", my favourite...
Why all coaches should have a book
A new episode of "Natural Born Coaches" just popped out of the oven, and I have Karen McDermott from Serenity Press on the show to talk about coaches writing books. In this episode you'll hear: why Karen thinks that all coaches should have a book. The way that she...
About those “getting to know you” calls
I'm not a fan of "getting to know you" calls. Those are the ones where someone reaches out and says that they'd "love to connect to hear more about what you do" … Or they say; "Hey, I'd love to talk with you about something - do you have a few minutes for a call?"....
Pushing past your limits
There's a theory called "hysterical strength", where people achieve crazy physical feats when faced with life or death situations. For example, a mother suddenly gets superhuman strength and lifts a car to save her child (which is apparently how the co-creator of The...
When Bo Jackson became Jason Voorhees
Since it's Friday the 13th, I'll share a story that I got from a book that I recommend to all of my clients and mastermind members (and I highly recommend that you read as well). It's called "The Alter Ego Effect", and in it author Todd Herman shows how athletes,...
More than a weekly call
When talking with coaches about my mastermind, I often hear: "So it's a weekly 90 minute call?" Sure, that's a big part of it. Our calls take place on Mondays and we get a lot done on them (and they get everyone's week off to a good start). But there's a lot more to...
This solves the common problems with challenges
There are a lot of online challenges out there nowadays. When I say "challenges", I mean the online events that are designed to help people achieve certain goals. Some are five day challenges, and others are longer (ie: 21 day challenges) but both have their issues:...
