The camaraderie of a team huddle, the bond of training together, the joy of a championship win—there’s something about the energy of team sports that has always been so exciting to me. While my competitive soccer days are behind me, I’m still the first to sign up for a challenge...
Who says your career has to fit into a nice, neat little box? Many of my clients are unique, successful, and interesting precisely because they didn’t follow the same linear path as everyone else. Maybe they took a year sabbatical to travel the world, served a cause or church on mission, or...
Since the pandemic, most of us have become quite accustomed to alternative meeting formats, whether that’s a phone call, a video call, or a good old fashioned face-to-face conversation. At this point, we’ve all slid into meeting norms—weekly Zoom check-ins, team conference...
Whether or not your official title includes the word “sales,” most of us sell in some way. From pitching your product or service to a new customer to recruiting a new team member or getting buy-in on an idea, having sharp sales skills can help you achieve your professional goals. If...
It’s the mythical pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. A pig with wings. The unicorn of the working world. You may know it as the all-elusive “work-life” balance. Everyone’s talking about it—how they need it and want it, but the question remains, does it even...

Raise your hand if you’ve ever hit a wall in your sales or recruiting process! We’ve all been there. Anyone who works in a sales or recruiting role will tell you, no technique or process yields a “yes” 100 percent of the time. If there were a perfect process, everyone...
