Recently, I saw a Facebook post that stopped me in my tracks. A father was asking for help with his daughter’s job search. She’d been struggling to land interviews, and he wondered if anyone had ideas for her. Oh, they had ideas. “Lose the pink hair,” “cover the tattoo,” “ditch the heart-shaped glasses.” My heart broke. The message was clear: if you want to be “professional,” shrink yourself until you fit into a tiny, beige box. But here’s the thing—why would anyone with a pu

You might think that one of the reasons to have a coach is for accountability. Perhaps you'd be surprised to learn that I don’t believe in “holding someone accountable”.  The book The 12 Week Year  fundamentally altered my understanding of accountability: “Accountability is not consequences but ownership. It is a character trait, a life stance, a willingness to own your actions and results- regardless of the circumstances”.                 However, a life coach can provide a

My mouse hovered over the “Apply” button.  Was I delusional to think I should sign up for life coach training?
