What have you mistaken for truth?

IWhere I started

I was very good at other people’s growth.

From the outside, my life looked complete.
The title.
The responsibility.
The respect.

For more than twenty years, I worked in corporate people leadership and change management.

I built teams, developed leaders and walked organizations through the moments most of us would rather avoid: the restructures, the hard conversations and the change nobody asked for.

IIThe turn

And quietly, I was doing the very thing I helped everyone else move beyond.

Settling.

I knew the conversations I needed to have.
The boundaries I needed to set.
The decision I kept postponing.

I had spent years helping people stop waiting for permission, and there I was, waiting for my own.

So I made the decision. I left the security of a long career, not because anything was broken, but because what I wanted and what I believed I was allowed to want had stopped matching.

The first thing I needed to change wasn’t my life. It was the view I was living from.

Once I saw differently,
I could choose differently.

IIIWhat I do now

The people I work with rarely need more information, motivation or another strategy.

They already know how to work hard, solve problems, make decisions and create meaningful results.

What they often haven’t had is the opportunity to question the beliefs, stories and assumptions influencing how they see themselves, their circumstances and what is possible next.

Together, we look beneath the result they are trying to change and identify what may actually be creating it.
