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 …
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 …
“The fastest way to succeed is to double your failure rate.” — Thomas Watson, Sr. (IBM) He was talking about products and innovation. 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 …
When you begin to dip your toes in the spiritual world, entrepreneurship, travel, art, [insert most anything creative], you are introduced to a rebellion of the 9–5, of working for the man, of the corporate world. When people start to tell you to live your truth, what they often mean is “get out of the rat race …
We often say that the corporate world sucks the soul out of individual beings. But did you know that corporations, businesses, buildings, and even ideas have souls themselves? I believe that they do. As souls, they have ways that they wish to be birthed into the world. And similar to each of us, there are paths and …
What’s that thing in your life that you avoid addressing and almost take for granted? That one thing that you are willing to let slide because everything else is coming together and working for you? Is it your job?Is it your partner?Is it how you spend your money or what bills you subscribe to?Is it your relationship …

Sometimes we are afraid to look deeply into ourselves, not because we are afraid of what we will find. The reality is that we already have a pretty good idea of what we will find. Sometimes we are afraid to look deeply into ourselves, because we are afraid of the change that we think we will have …
Running a business is a spiritual awakening. I’ve been saying this for a while now, and the more TCP grows and expands, the more I feel the truth in this. But, what is a spiritual awakening? Let’s normalize this and make this phrase/terminology more accessible for everyone. Because, whether you are spiritual or not, I can promise …
You are not your business or your job. But it is your job (i.e. responsibility) to bring your work to life the way it is meant to be birthed onto this planet. Businesses, buildings, objects, products, offerings, teams & even ideas have souls. And, we can ask them directly how they want to be brought forward, what’s …
Making your dream job a reality can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Here for four things that you can do TODAY to begin manifesting your dreams. 1. Get out of your own way Most of us have a pretty good idea of what our dream job is — or at least what the thing …
There are no shortcuts to the life of your dreams, but there are quantum leaps, collapsed timelines, possibilities that you have never imagined available to you when you show up in your work. February brought the Page of Swords + the Ace of Pentacles. In short, it said that even if you are just getting started, what …
Do you ever feel like you are constantly moving from one thing into the next? Seeking new experiences after new experiences, trying on different skills, looking into different windows & corridors, exploring truths? Are you on a perpetual mission to find the thing that brings you joy, or takes you to the next level, or the idea …
And 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 …
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 …
If you’re not sure what to do or where to begin, pick anything and start anywhere. This nugget of wisdom came through in a reading last week, and I had to write it down. You see, the universe waits for you. We can’t simply believe something into existence. We must act on it, too. When we develop …
Transitionary periods are not talked about enough. The unknown is romanticized, but the feeling of being in it (if not positive) is not normalized enough. When we say yes to a desire, an internal process kicks off that is very much felt, but not yet seen. The external manifestation of that desire is typically not available right …
As a coach, I subscribe to a lot of other coaches’ content, a lot of personal development, and a lot of self-help. We all say things like – “nourish yourself to nourish your business”. And, I think we are committing a gross disservice when we say that, and that alone. Not all businesses require such deepening into …
