The Question

"What's the real price of your comfort zone?"


Let's get brutally honest for a minute. Every day you spend 'waiting for the right time' is another day you're choosing mediocrity.

And yes, mediocrity is a choice - one you make every time you pick comfortable over courageous.

I see it in coaching, in life, in the mirror - we're masters at disguising cowardice as wisdom.

So tell me, what's your comfort zone really costing you?

Because while you're busy being 'sensible', your dreams are quietly dying of neglect.

Hit reply with your truth. Or keep hiding. Your choice.

And don't forget to be awesome.

A short stint at home awaits before heading out again. Kenya next, followed by Svalbard, then the...

The Price of Getting Better Hi Reader I'm sitting at Kuala Lumpur International Airport waiting to board a flight to Sandakan tomorrow. Starting our Borneo photo tour - one of my last four scheduled group departures before I shift direction. I only had a few days at home after returning from MalaMala, which is why I wasn't able to get a newsletter out last week. This week might be the same, but I'll see if I can get something out between river cruises and walking through the second oldest...

Stop Calling Everything Trauma Hi Reader and welcome to Sunday! Just wrapped up a crazy week. New car - finally said goodbye to my beloved Jimny for a Tank - sometimes you've got to know when it's time - back-to-back clients, and enough admin to drown a small village. All that madness got me thinking about something I've been noticing lately. In my sessions, in conversations, and yes, even in my own head sometimes. We've become a generation that's forgotten how to be uncomfortable. We...
