Disruptive Innovation And The Creative Mind
7/23/2019
You know when you’re in the presence of a credible innovator. Outgoing, introverted, a disruptive innovator’s personality type does not matter. The key to their magic as an innovator is in how they see the world.
The creative mind of a disruptive innovator is tad obsessive but in an effective way. Well, usually. There are a handful of things that deeply matter to them, and for that reason, they challenge convention.

Soulful Success & Effective Leadership | (3) Questions To Master
7/18/2019
Every potential customer, employee, love interest, collaborator, and many others, ask themselves three things when first meeting you. For most, its a subconscious framework. Most people don’t realize this internal framework exists.
I call it, The (3) Questions Of Truth.
I compare this framework to a long, narrow hallway. Until you successfully answer the first question from the framework, you cannot move through to the door, into the next room.

The Progress Not Perfection Life Philosophy
7/9/2019
Perfectionism. Isolation. Armor. We all have our “go to” swords when we’re feeling inadequate, insecure, or afraid. And for a moment, it works, we feel more in control. But a sword is a weapon, and weapons always do damage.
Embracing progress, not perfection as a philosophy towards life gives you room to breathe. Rather than walking on eggshells and making others walk on eggshells, you allow for the unknown. You stop taking yourself and life so seriously.

Successful But Not Happy? Explore Your Options.
7/4/2019
How do you define success? Successful but unhappy is both a symptom and a result. Wake-up calls come in many forms, but in all in cases, we need to be willing to hear the screaming sounds of caution.
Successful but unhappy is a byproduct of things we’ve been ignoring for some time. It’s not a random event. It’s not a moment in time. And no, that moment will not pass. We need to pay attention to our emotions. We need to be fully present with the fact that success, as we once defined it, is...

Passion driven success sounds incredible! But here’s the thing, passion-driven success takes as much if not more work than traditional success. Initially, when you’re trying to find your voice in a given space, there are many unknowns.
Thankfully, there are things you can do to speed up the process. One of those is to clarify the emotional impact you need to have in people’s lives as a brand. Need to have? Emotion fuels a brand built on purpose and passions: no emotional impact, no...

The idea of branding your purpose is very intoxicating. Aligning your greatest passions with your profession may feel as natural as breathing air. But in the real world, that can be an incredibly difficult journey. You don’t want to jump into that ocean sight unseen.

When this specific person walks into a room, you know they’ve arrived. They’re completely comfortable in their skin. The good. The not so good. They don’t seem to get caught up in approval seeking. They are who they are, take it, or leave it.

Saying "No" By Speaking Your Personal Truth
6/19/2019
Learning to say “no” is learning how to honor and speak your truth. It has nothing to do with being an extrovert or an introvert. You are a sacred and valuable human being — your truth matters. Your time and how you choose to spend it, your life, and how you want to live it needs to be protected.
