The "hustle harder" mentality is officially broken. After decades of glorifying 80-hour weeks and grinding through burnout, we're finally seeing the cracks in this unsustainable approach. The data is clear: entrepreneurs who double down on hustle culture are more likely to experience mental health challenges, higher turnover, and ironically: slower growth. But here's what most business leaders miss: the alternative isn't working less. It's working smarter by building a stren

December is here, and you know what that means: planning season. But here's the thing: most entrepreneurs and leaders approach life planning like they're preparing for a doctoral thesis. Hours of reflection, endless worksheets, complex frameworks that look impressive but never get executed. What if I told you that you could create a powerful, actionable 2026 life plan in just one focused afternoon? Not a surface-level wish list, but a strategic roadmap that actually drives re

Every year, it's the same challenge. You want to give something meaningful to the people who matter most, your high-achieving spouse, your driven colleague, your ambitious adult child. But what do you get someone who already has everything they need? Here's what I've learned after years of coaching executives and leaders: the best gifts aren't things you unwrap. They're experiences that unwrap potential. While everyone else is scrambling for the latest gadget or gift card, sm

You've been there. Staring at your computer screen at 11 PM, crafting yet another proposal, and that familiar knot forms in your stomach when you get to the investment section. Is this too much? Will they think I'm greedy? Maybe I should just lower it by $500... Sound familiar? Here's what I've learned after working with hundreds of coaches: The ones who struggle most with pricing are often the ones who give the most. They pour everything into their clients, stay late on call

Here's something I've learned after years of coaching high-capacity leaders: gratitude isn't just a nice sentiment you pull out during the holidays. It's a discipline. A practice. Just like you wouldn't expect to master mindfulness after one meditation session or nail a perfect yoga pose on your first try, developing a genuine gratitude practice takes intentional effort and consistency. And there's no better time to lean into this practice than right now, during this Thanksgi

Let's cut straight to the chase: executive coaching isn't just another feel-good leadership initiative. It's one of the highest-yield investments you can make in your organization, with documented returns that will make your CFO's eyes light up. We're talking about 788% ROI in some cases: that's not a typo. As someone who's worked with countless executives across Omaha and beyond, I've seen firsthand how coaching transforms not just individual leaders, but entire organizatio

Let me be honest about something I've struggled with for years. Every October in Nebraska, I feel it creeping in. The shorter days, the gray skies, the way 5 PM feels like midnight. Seasonal Affective Disorder isn't just a clinical term for me: it's a yearly reality check that reminds me even high-performing leaders aren't immune to the effects of less sunlight and shifting seasons. For the longest time, I thought I could just push through it. More coffee, longer hours, grind
