How’s that “healing the world of business” going?
This past Friday was one of our every-other-month Virtual Retreats for our Community, and on one of the calls, a retreatant asked me, “I love that you are taking on healing in business, and, with all that’s going on in the world, I’m wondering how you think it’s going?” Whoooosh…. I just paused and sat […]
Brush-hogging an acre of your business
At White Hawk, the ecovillage we live in, we’re about to start a 1-2 acre hazlenut grove project. The location we picked is currently full of goldenrod and some other brush. It’s land that hasn’t been used for human purposes in quite some time, and it’s in the process of turning from a field into […]
After the push…
Quick Note: Today is the deadline to start in September, next Monday, for either Foundations1: Clients and Money or Foundations2: Expand Your Reach. Super affordable in-depth programs aimed at the first two stages of business development. I have to admit that the past couple of weeks I haven’t been very motivated to work. This crazy, […]
When you don’t feel like you’re really contributing
This past weekend the blues were hitting me hard. I was feeling aimless, exhausted, spent, but also restless and somewhat hopeless. I recognized this in both myself, and from working with clients. So many people start to feel aimless, hopeless, almost “depressed” (I put it in quotes not to confuse it with the much more […]
[Video] Embracing What’s Here Now
This week I’m actually at the beach with my family, my sister’s family and my parents. We’re on the boardwalk, taking our kids to the same place my parents took my sister and I when we were little. It’s been an annual pilgrimage for years now, and even more of a joy now that we […]

[Video Guest] Making networking fun
A past client, colleague and friend Leif Hansen, the Spark Guy, is our guest author this week. Leif does tremendous work with organizations and individuals around bringing spark and creativity into your work. Part of his background is in improv, and I did a stellar workshop with him some years ago, up in Seattle. I […]
[Video] Best-selling author struggles with fear of visibility
Earlier this week I had a conversation with best-selling author and Supercoach Academy founder Michael Neill about the 3 times he confronted his fear of visibility, and how his business and work moved forward in big ways each time he was able to walk through the fear. Except that the fear didn’t look like anything […]
Goodbye to Jason Stein
Years ago, back in… 2003, was it? I was serving on the board of a nonprofit, when someone who worked at the nonprofit introduced me to a friend of his, and we went out for lunch. That person was Jason Stein. Heart of Business was still relatively new, and he was on his own entrepreneurial […]
