https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/14593574 A stuck person is a powerful person. Flow is natural, so if you’re holding yourself in place, imagine how much energy it’s taking you to do that. How powerful you must be. Perhaps the most important thing you need to know about being stuck is how powerful your ability to create is. If your […]
I was flying back from an event my coach hosted in Arizona when I noticed. Among the people sitting in the nine, first-class seats, I was the only woman.
It’s not the first time I’ve noticed the disparity between men and women in the front half of the plane but today it was particularly meaningful. I had just seen Cindy Eckert speak about founding a pharmaceutical company, selling that company for one billion dollars and then suing the buyer to get it back when they failed to bring the product she fought so hard to create to market, Addyi.
If you’ve ever worked with me you know that one of the ways I approach visibility is according to one of its underused definitions: available. As in, what are you available for?
It seems as if overnight, what I am personally available for has shifted dramatically. Having done this work a while now, I know that there is no overnight success, transformation or change. The moments of change are swift but the circumstances and seeds planted are usually a long time coming. Regardless, I feel radically different.
If you’re a mid-career, interior designer with an established firm, sometimes you’ll need to find inspiration in unfamiliar places. Personally, I love award shows and I’m particularly excited about the Oscars this year because I’ve had the opportunity to screen most of the films. I’m also heading to a party hosted by the Producers Guild. […]
So let me cut straight to the chase. If you’re an interior designer and you’re procrastinating you are delaying your own good. Say it with me, I am delaying my own good. Forget what Freud said about the pleasure principle and humans preferring to avoid negative emotions or to delay stressful tasks. If you break […]
I remember interviewing Directors for the first film that I wrote and produced. One in particular argued with such certainty that he knew what my film was about and that it couldn’t work without his bigchanges to the father character, that I almost forgot that I’d written it. Another wanted me to change the relationship […]
To be creative is to be uncertain. That’s what I found myself saying to a prospective client during a sales call last week. What’s getting in your way is your relationship to uncertainty. A person with a real flair is a gambler at heart, was how Billy Baldwin put it. Or in the words of […]
So the fact that we’re thriving this year means we should say yes to every opportunity right? This week I received a lot of offers that I could definitely perceive as opportunities for expansion. Like today, at the LA Times Travel Show, there was an opportunity to zipline across the convention room floor. It looked […]
Did you know that when it comes to your nervous system, fear and excitement have a lot in common? I started reading Noelle Hancock’s memoir My Year with Eleanor a few weeks ago because like Hancock, I’m in transition in a lot of areas of my life, and I was feeling the fear — terror […]
The difference between unknowns, design leaders and legends is a factor of visibility. But being visible is about more than being seen, one of its underused definitions is available.
