MarieAnd yet, integrity is probably not what you think it is. Here at TCP, we have been reflecting a lot on identity, self concept, and what it means to have integrity. You see, we all hold beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. And we all have deep inner desires or callings. Both of these, our deep …
Perhaps the majority of business coaches aren’t selling business coaching. Perhaps, the majority of business coaches are selling lifestyles of freedom & ease (at least this is what social media marketing will tell you). And perhaps many of us are seeking the tools to build lives filled with freedom & ease, and so we sign up for …
Last night I delivered a masterclass that went so epically sideways, I am still cringing slightly thinking about it. I am not cringing because it was a poor example of myself, my leadership, my business, or work – I am cringing because it was a full example of myself and leadership and business and work. You see, we are …

You know the thing that has been done to you, that you vowed you’d never do to anyone else, and then you find yourself in the situation where you did the thing that you thought you’d never do? Well, for many managers, this is it: not giving clear, direct feedback when someone reporting to you is not …
You just need to go all in. If I were going to give myself advice before I went to college, after I graduated college, and at every crossroads in my life, I would say: Get quiet and still enough to hear your heart. Listen to it. And go all in. You don’t have to have it all …
I have a confession: I’m not obsessed with my job. I’m not passionate about operations and I do not live for tech. I recognize the importance of the work that I do at Microsoft. I recognize the importance of [ethical, sustainable, inclusive] technology for the planet. I value the mission that Microsoft leads with. And, I feel honored …

But, I think it applies across the board of life, and most especially in your career journey. Something that isn’t on my resume, that I don’t often share but realize I should, is that I …
