A Human-Centered Leadership Practice That Builds Trust, Reduces Friction, and Makes Every Decision Smarter You’ve done the work. The plan is solid, and you’re ready to roll.

Make Data Matter: Four Questions That Turn Info Into Influence You’ve been there. Someone senior asks, “Can you get me the numbers on this?” and you spring into action—spreadsheets flying, dashboards glowing. You deliver all the data and more… and the response? Blank stares.

Statistics suggest that of the folks who come to see a life coach or some other coach like a creativity coach, a health coach, or a relationship coach, about 75% are women and 25% are men. In the work that I’ve done over the past forty years, I would say that the percentages are even more weighted toward women, maybe on the order of 90% women, 10% men.

The Beatles changed music. Starbucks changed coffee. Perhaps your project is aiming to reach a large audience. Consultants call it market share.

In some cases, we find a resolution that works. Then having grit pays off. I’m sure you can think of more than a few situations in your life and in your work life, that were far from ideal.

A coaching session is first of all an agreement that you make with yourself that you are willing to coach another human being. The agreement is between you and you.

Verbosity is the new brevity. Google felt like a miracle. We could type just a word or two (“ blog “) and it would magically guess what we wanted and take us there. This shortcut spread from Google to the search built into online shopping as well. How convenient. A few words and done. AI isn’t like that. In fact, our concision is getting in the way of the insight we’re looking for.
