Breaking Normal is Not Breaking Bad

Breaking Normal is Not Breaking Bad!  Breaking Normal To Create Your Unique Light To Shine I have the privilege to spend time with people from all walks of life. Most of my clients are in transition of leveling up their career, teams, products, or business as a whole. One consistent we talk about is “normal”.  Dearest readers in my experience there is no such thing as normal. Yes, no matter where we are in the world there are social politeness’s, cultural norms, education, careers, family, and finding ways to fit in instead of stand out. We are taught to fit in and not stand out and shine. Disrupt & Break Normal = Innovation and Creativity Lives Here  The subject of breaking normal is not new to me; it is what we now call a disruptive model. One example of breaking normal is grieving. Recently I was with a group of amazing…

How to Graciously Receive Lemon Flavored Rainbows

This week at Red Shoe we are finalizing implementation of new programs, website, and collaboration partners. It is exciting and scary all at the same time; leveling up is always an unknown for everyone. Our coaching clients know this all too well and now we are going to the next level too.

Creating Cheerio Castles From a Mom’s Heart

Every Business Owner Has a Personal Story As an Executive Consultant there are several questions all clients ask. The first being, “how do you know”. My response, “I am an observer of others, experiences, and learn something from all of it.” Our knowledge, experiences, and actions within and beyond those give us an extraordinary gift of intuitive education. As stated by Colin Powel once said as Secretary of State (United States) you have to make decisions quickly and at times you may only have 80% of the information the rest you go from what you know. I decided to share this story with all of you as last week was a particular tough one. Some dear friends of mine sent a care package with Cheerios. Below is one of my stories and from working with executives to raising a kiddo from hard places just as I do; you too have…

Building Community Legacies With Meaningful Conversation

Connection Collaboration Community Have you heard “this is business, there is no room for feelings in business“, or some other derivative of it? Well, there is room; people remember how you made them feel over all else. Yes, they remember how they feel over you making them millions, cured their cancer,  or helped them solve a large issue. All relationships in life, “people remember how you made them feel.” As I traverse from coaching executives to corporate teams the common denominators are “feelings” and “communication”. Join me and others to build your legacy model with the 5 L’s. Legacy is building your sustainable growth model of how you show up in community, connections, and collaboration.

Are You Prepared to Take Risk With Imagination and Innovation?

We all have risk and either we embrace it or do everything in our power to avoid it. Imagine the playground where a group of children are jumping off the top of the monkey bars and then there are the few who stand at the edge pacing waiting for the school bell to ring so they do not have to jump. I want to encourage you to JUMP! Not in the sense of physical, mental, or spiritual harm but to really jump back into a childlike state and use your imagination, create, and innovate right where you stand. Ken Robinson states the risk of imagination eloquently, be prepared to be wrong. When you are prepared to risk, be wrong, and basically stand there looking like an idiot you are onto something! Society has taught us to no longer within our natural gifts but to test out in an educational standard.…
