Just sat in the CEO seat? Most won’t tell you this:

Your team hides the real problems until you show them it’s safe.

Trust starts with your vulnerability.

What nobody tells you about…

Venture capitalists don’t just bring money, they can also bring baggage.

This one’s a must watch.

Paul Traynor breaks down the “cloud of stuff” that CEOs NEED to understand if they want to build strong partnerships.

What do you do when your investors micromanage and second-guess every move?

How do you build trust with a C-suite leader who resists change?

Here’s the truth: you can’t coach someone who doesn’t want to change.

And that’s where trust begins (or breaks).

It reminds me of a joke: How many coaches does it take to change a light bulb? Only one.

When an exec resists change, don’t push harder.

Look deeper.

Their identity may be tied to what needs to change.

Logic says “I want to work less.”
Emotion says “But hard work = success.”

Coaching starts with empathy.

That’s how trust is built.

Is “work-life balance” setting you up to fail?

Here’s the thing: trying to “balance” work and life assumes something is always off.

It’s a constant juggle, and it rarely feels sustainable.

What if the goal isn’t balance… but blend?

Easter’s coming.

A long weekend… unless you bring your inbox with you.

Forget work-life balance.

Try work-life blend and protect your time with clear agreements:

✅ No emails after hours
✅ Family-first boundaries
✅ Time off that’s truly off
