My first question to you will always be: “What do you want to talk about?” We will seek out the limitations and the freedoms. We will work together to rebalance your three resources, time, energy, and focus. You won’t walk out of meetings with a to-do list, but with a number of focus points to keep in mind. This will help you actively take steps towards the future, without fixating on a single problematic side of things.
Feel attention. Take action. Be authentic.
