How Overthinking Leads to underperforming

We’ve all been there…

• Lots of motion … no traction

• Thoughts spinning … paralyzed inaction

• Scenarios for days … sleepless nites

It’s not hard to land inside of a broken record. The tricky part is learning to leave.

Join me for a lunch & learn where we’ll discuss ways to ensure that YOUR soundtracks & scripts are helping you to find your GROOVE — not disrupting the dance! (Oh — and how to break-up with Mr. Thought-Loop the minute he comes calling…and calling…and calling…)

Ain’t no time for such nonsense. RSVP to reserve your spot today!

CLAIM YOUR SANITY NOW!

Are you already bracing yourself — home for the holidays, then therapy for New Years? Are the default routes worn out — not working anymore?! Join me for a session to thoughtfully plan your posture & creatively block your calendar this advent season.

If the Advent Truce is our WHY — Holiday Sip & Synch is our HOW.

Join me for a Guided Session to map your routes, so you can close the curtain on 2021 with a scene of your choosing — your future self will thank us!

Our Holiday Sip & Sync is designed to help you move…

• FROM go-go-go TO meaningful action alongside long-deep-breaths — a chance to consider what you should take, what you should tweak, what you should toss, as you move toward these final days of 2021.

• FROM self-sabotage TO doable plan — practical tips + tricks to fire your inner critic (that impossible CEO!) so you can welcome a new COE collaborator = Conditions of Enough to aid & assist.

• FROM internal values TO external supports — clarity about the systems and stakeholders you’ll want alongside you, so your holiday hopes & goals move from intention to reality.

In short, Holiday Sip & Sync is about closing the gap between aspirational goals and your real, lived experience.

The Invitation: what you can expect from me & our time together:

A Guided Session to plan your Holiday Sanity — virtual + interactive — on December 2: 7-8:30pm CST. During our time together, I will guide you (and 11 others) through a process to:

• Choose Your Patrol Squad — we start with the “bouncers” — the 2 or 3 essential choices. These are the cornerstone intentions: the choices that will choose a dozen other essential things.

• Change Your Pace — we’re pros at drafting the to-do-list, managing the calendar, charting our course. We’re less practiced at finding the right speed — for this season, for this context, for these specific stewardships (the people & things we’re called to here & now).

• Chart Your Plan — we refuse to know ourselves by our intentions alone. Here, we map daily & weekly goals + rhythms that will foster true productivity alongside abiding peace. We also draft the contingency plans — how to step back into our intentions when life shows up. (Because life will, inevitably, show up.)

Access to a Private FB Group with a Weekly Coaching Video & Interactive Resources.

Access to a one-on-one Leadership Coaching Session (90-Minutes) — available for use anytime between now & February 15, 2022. (You may choose from a highly structured Vision Session to helpfully draft + refine plans for 2022 OR a more organic Discovery Session, digging into your toughest challenges for fresh & helpful insights — whichever will most powerfully serve you.)

Your Participation — what i expect from you

• Punctuality — to honor one another & the important work at-hand, zoom room doors will close promptly at 7:01pm CST on December 2, 2021. (The virtual workshop space will be accessible 15 min early — beginning at 6:45pm until 7:01pm.)

• Participation in your own real work. While this event will include training & helpful resources, it’s primarily a workshop — a coach-facilitated discovery space designed for insights and action that only you can bring. Come…

  • Video on + fully focused

  • Ready to engage in active decision making + intentional planning

• Courage. This event is NOT for you if…

  • You insist on blaming everything & everyone else — if your problems hinge on your external circumstances

  • You’re not open to new ways of looking at a situation that you’re currently sure you’re right about

  • You’re unwilling to experiment with new thoughts, frameworks, & behaviors

• Collaboration + Vulnerability. You can count on a guided process that will cultivate healthy group dynamics + psychological safety. AND you should expect to try something new! (Synching our goals & intentions with reality is an invitation to on-going discovery — THE MORE play & humility we bring to this space, THE MORE we gain!)

This sounds interesting, but i’m not sure it’s for me…
Here are the 12 people I’m looking for…

• You’re tired of waking up on Christmas Morn — or New Year’s Day — with a sense that the holidays happened to you. From calendar to cadence, if you’re honest, your experience of this season is less “cheer” — more “craze” or “funk”. You’d like to embrace joy + play + self-discovery in a new way this year.

• You’re already dreading the friend + family gatherings up-ahead. You’d like to feel poised, anchored deep into purpose & peace, but difficult fam dynamics & hard realities present real challenges.

• You’d like a head-start on New Year’s resolutions. You know that some of the most helpful intel in mapping strategic goals + gaining traction comes from clarity about “where you are”. You’re hoping these final days of 2021 can be helpful teachers — guides getting you to the right trailhead for 2022.

• You’re not the best project manager when it comes to yourself. Yes, there’s irony in the fact that you regularly manage HIGH STRESS corporate goals + carpool schedules + family meals + supportive conversations + holiday gift coverage yet fail to find the space for a hot shower on Christmas Eve. But, when it comes to life on-the-ground, this is something you haven’t quite figured out yet.

Join Me in making peace with 2021

I don’t know about you, but i’m rounding the corner into these final weeks of 2021 with a bit of shock (we’re HERE?). a bit of awe (i’m ALIVE?), and no small sense of weariness + questionable reserves (where’s that FINISH-LINE?!)

What feels new about this year — alongside the inevitable holiday merry-go-round (picking up speed!) — is a deeper, more pronounced sense of dis-ease. One working title for this season: The Edge of Trauma.

2021 has been, for me, a fight. (Cue the triage scenes + the smokey browns & greys + the dissonant soundtrack playing underneath.) This year has been, in a word, hard.

Perhaps you can relate? Combative forces, choices, voices on every side. Resistance at every turn.

I’ve decided to call a Christmas Truce — early. A chance to move…

• FROM striving TOWARD surrender — embracing human constraints & wisdom

• FROM having the answers TOWARD welcoming questions — flourishing inside of uncertainty (even disagreement)

• FROM being right TOWARD being kind — centering love in practical ways

In short: less a force to be reckoned with — more a gentle, refreshing breeze. The goal? Embodied love. Your company alongside me — your contributions in this space — would be such a gift…

The Invitation: what you can expect from The Advent Truce:

A Guided Session to plan your Advent Truce — virtual + interactive — on November 28: 7-8:30pm CST. During our time together, I will guide you (and 11 others) through a process to:

• Choose Your People & Your Priorities — make hard + real choices up-front, ensuring less drama AND more energy for what’s truly important.

• Change Your Posture — determine who you want to be + how you will show up alongside your people & your priorities.

• Chart Your Purpose — examine the resources & rhythms at your disposal — inside of your current life context — in order to think strategically about your relationships + goals + calendar + tasks. Map a plan to be deeply rooted in truth + practically poised for peace.

This sounds interesting, but i’m not sure it’s for me…
Here are the 12 people I’m looking for…

• 2021 has been an all-out brawl (private or public). You’re limping into the home-stretch.

• You’ve caught yourself fighting this year. With your people. With your circumstances. With yourself.
  (You’re a fighter, so you know: this one’s been ugly. OR you’re a runner … yet, here you are fighting.)

• You’ve begun to get honest with yourself: you can’t sustain THIS. (Also: it seems superman isn’t coming.)

• You need a soft place to land — even if you HATE that psychobabble stuff.

• While you would welcome basic civility + kind words, the reality is — you need more. So. Much. More.
  (Call it a breakthrough, call it real, tangible help, call it water in-the-desert, call it healing. Your hand is raised.)

• You are willing to DECIDE to surrender — into your own soft humanity, into a higher, wiser LOVE.
  You will vow to “put the fight aside” from November 28-December 25, 2021 (aka Advent).
