Why Affirmations Don’t Work (and What to Do Instead) | SUCCESS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Stand in front of the mirror. Say, “I am confident and unstoppable” 10 times. Feel nothing—or worse, feel like a fraud reciting someone else’s lines. If that has been your experience with affirmations, you are not doing it wrong. You have discovered something the research quietly confirmed years ago: for the people who need them most, affirmations do not merely fail. They backfire. I have spent three decades coaching high-performers, and I now train coaches, so I have watched thousands of smart
How to Speak Up at Work Without Burning Bridges | SUCCESS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You were in the meeting. Somebody put up a number, and you knew it was wrong. Not a hunch—you had actually run it, and you could see exactly where the assumption underneath it broke. You opened your mouth to say so. Then you looked around the table first. Everybody was nodding. So you nodded. That half-second scan—not courage, not preparation—is where the decision to speak up at work actually gets made. By the afternoon you had explained it to yourself in a way you could live with.

The Sunday Scaries Aren’t a Scheduling Problem | SUCCESS (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
You sit down, close your eyes, follow the breath—and your mind gets louder. The client email you haven’t answered. A replay of yesterday’s meeting. A grocery list. Within four minutes, you’ve concluded what most driven people conclude: I can’t stop thinking during meditation, so meditation must not be for me. That conclusion is built on a misunderstanding of what meditation is, and it costs high-performers the one practice they may need most. I hear it constantly from the coaches I train in SUCC
Why Needing to Be Right Is Costing You Options | SUCCESS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A colleague you trust starts describing what happened in the last quarter, and their version doesn’t match yours. Before they finish talking, your rebuttal is already loaded. You deliver it. You win. And something in the room gets smaller. I’ve coached high-performers for more than two decades, and I train the coaches in SUCCESS Coaching™ Certification to watch for this exact moment because needing to be right is one of the hardest patterns to catch in successful people. Why? Because you usually
