I’ve not worked that much (or even been in touch with friends and family aside from texts) because we have had Coronavirus at our house. And while I do run a business, it has not been business as usual.

Oh boy. It’s nearly fall! I looooove the autumn. It’s my fave time of year for so many reasons- snappy weather, the bluest skies and fall leaves, cozy sweaters, new beginnings, learning.

About five years into my coaching and consulting work, I was finally starting to work with bigger companies. It wasn’t through any particular focus on my part and in fact serendipity played a larger role than I might like to admit in the evolution of my business. (Is serendipity repeatable? I kinda think so.)

This is the first post in a summer series on landing corporate contracts. I’ll be posting an index shortly with links to all posts on this topic.
Many a coach/consultant wants to move into working with bigger clients, but very few actually make that leap unless they came out of a corporate environment already.

Just the other day in a public restroom I told my 4 year old that when we’re really rich we’ll have a Japanese toilet that cleans your bits and plays music and heats up the seat for you.
Her response?

Whew! March is here! I’m starting to post my journaling prompts here so that they can live in a public space.
If you’re new to them, each month I send out a newsletter with the journaling prompts for the month. I recommend printing them out and putting them in a notebook so that you can collect them over the course of the year.

The first time I thought I was fat was on the bus in fifth grade.
My little thighs were spreading out and sticking to the brown vinyl seat that had, in places, been duct taped together.
It was a hot late spring afternoon and this was North Carolina. The windows were down to cool us off but I was more concerned about the size of my legs than anything else.

I'm interviewing Nat Kimber, an agent with the Rights Factory, about what aspiring non-fiction authors need to know to make it from draft to book deal. (There's a lot more that comes after the deal, but that's fodder for another class.)
