Edges and undertows

Before we jump in, this article is more personal than you might be used to. And it also comes with a trigger warning as I talk about grief and drowning, so if you don’t have capacity to read on, trust your knowing.

I didn’t go for the cold water plunge today.⁠

It was very cold, but that’s a given, and kind of the whole point of the cold water plunge.⁠

The wind was fierce. The kind of wind that catches you and forces its way into your lungs and won’t let up.⁠

The waves looked bullying. The kind that would push you down just for having the audacity to stand up to them.⁠

But it wasn’t that triumvirate of challenge that had me stay firmly planted on the shoreline this morning.⁠

It was the undertow that scared me.⁠

My sister Karen drowned when she was four. My mother was with her when it happened. She was also six months pregnant with my sister Christina when it happened. I am undone when I imagine the kind of grief my sweet Stine was born into. I came along four years later.⁠

I share this to say I was raised with an extraordinary fear of the undertow.⁠

Because when the story was ever retold, (and trust me, it was so very rarely ever told, that every detail was held as sacred and sacrosanct), it was the undertow. It was the undertow that took her life. The undertow that roiled under the seemingly calm surface and changed everything and plunged my parents into unimaginable grief.⁠

My parents put us in swimming lessons the first moment they could. As such, I am a relatively strong swimmer…though I’m not exactly sure that actually means. ⁠

But still, my mother spent the rest of her life warning me about undertows. ⁠

And my father spent his life making sure I didn’t live in fear of them. Some of my favourite memories were of playing in the waves with my father. ⁠

If bodysurfing was a competitive sport, I’d have been the silver medal winner to his gold.⁠

But there was one time in Portugal when I was about nine years old. A girl in my school had died of meningitis and my mother’s trauma response was to get us as far away from whatever danger she feared was possible. My father had done a construction job for someone who offered to pay him in villa accommodations in the Algarve. It was across the ocean and that seemed far enough for my mother.⁠

I will always remember the afternoon. We had gone shopping in the morning…I bought a dress with Portuguese lace detailing for my cousin’s wedding…and then we went to the beach. My father and I bodysurfed in the waves while my mother and sister read in the sun. The waves were bigger and rougher than I had ever experienced but my mother was uncharacteristically relaxed on the shore and my dad was within arm’s reach. Until a wave walloped me from the side, and then he wasn’t. In the impact, I bit my tongue and drew blood. It was then that I realized my Dad was quite far, and there was a moment of dread in the calm between the waves. The dread became panic as I realized the undertow was pulling me under. I screamed just before I went down and he managed to get to me.

So.

Fair to say a healthy fear of undertows was then established, beyond the reasonable fears my mother had imprinted on me.

+++

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Cath and I went for a dip in cold, wintery Lake Ontario. Just the two of us. Up until that point, I’d only dipped when the water had been calm and when we were part of a larger group.

That day, the waves were rough and the undertow was relentless.

Like I said, I’m a strong swimmer, and Cath is an extraordinarily strong swimmer. I trust her and she trusts me. But once we were waist deep, it became super clear to me that no matter how strong we were, it would be no match for a hypothermia-undertow combination. And one thousand per cent not worth the risk for me. I heard the NO from deep within and got out just as soon as I could. Frankly, for the balance of the day I felt foolish for having taken that risk, even if it was the shortest dip ever.

So here’s the thing.

I meet my edges all the time. The edges of my conditioning. The edges of my beliefs. The edges of my comfort.

I do so for a myriad of reasons. Because I’ve been called to do so. Because I know resilience must continue to be cultivated. Because some narratives need to be rewritten. Because I feel it in my bones.

I help my clients do the same.

AND…I often talk about being on the precipice of something important. And that we have the choice to step up or back down.

And I mean that with everything I have. We have the choice.

Yesterday I chose to back down.

Without shame. Without recrimination. Without blame. And? In pure and honest truth, with a tinge of sadness as my friends traversed the frigid ice beach to plunge past their own edges. I watched and marveled and celebrated as they did what I wasn’t able to do. Pouring them hot sweet tea and zipping up their coats when they emerged and their frozen fingers failed them.

Knowing my decision was the right one for me and still, feeling the grief for the missed moment.

Both/and.

Not all edges are for us to push past. Some NOs are to be trusted. Not every risk is worth taking.

Our job is to know which ones are.

And then to make sure we have the right support to climb that mountain, get in the frigid water, slay those demons or create a legacy worth leaving.

I am NOT the person to take you into an angry, wavy, ice chunk-laden lake with a fierce undertow, but I just may be the person to take you up the mountain of your choosing.

Ease vs Hustle…the Grudge Match

I was asked this question last week that I loved receiving. Not just because I had a helpful answer, though I sure don’t mind that, but rather because it kept working its way through me. Plinko-style.

“I have to deliver a ‘no’ this week, and even though I know in my bones it’s the right thing, I’m still having BIG feelings about it. It gets easier but never easy, especially when we’re in the level up. What helps you say ‘no’ when it feels scary but also liberating??”

I responded:

Excited for you and for all that is available on the other side of that no. I trust, as you do, that you've done your due diligence and are clear on what that no will offer.

When I’m in that place, I remind myself that growth doesn’t come from ease but rather alignment. And that getting INTO alignment can feel like a contortion. 

And when that feels too hard, I remind myself of all the times I’ve stood at this precipice. Clear that the no might feel hard, but necessary. And all the times I jumped in spite of the resistance. And all the times I discovered that that’s where the party was.

And while I’m thinking a LOT about levelling up and helping my brilliant clients do just that all day every day, it was the part about the ease that stuck with me.

Eeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.

Just say it with me now.

EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE.

Don’t you feel your shoulders melt down in the exhale?

I mean, who doesn’t want more of THAT?

Most of you reading here will identify as ambitious, success-driven and productive humans, looking to disrupt systems, serve at a higher level and create legacy-level impact. Which is to say, ease has not historically been your north star. Hard work and hustle has been. And conditioning, trauma, systemic exclusions, social structures, institutions, workplaces and family dynamics have sought to uphold that. 

We have been taught to worship at the altar of hustle. 

So when I ask “how can this be easier?” folks tend to respond with gratitude for the invitation. Because this NOT our conditioned baseline.

But I have been feeling lately that in our effort to divest ourselves from hustle culture, we have started to think that ease is the only other alternative. 

And honestly, if you listened to the internet, those really are the only two options:

Ease

OR

Hustle.

With nothing in between. (And BTW. this binary thinking is ANOTHER replication of the very systems and structures most folks are working towards untangling from.)

I think it’s causing some confusion on the road to success and that next level of impact. 

(Liiiiiiiike, am I supposed to “rest for success” or “slay all day”?)

What I know about success is that it doesn’t come from pure ease or pure hustle. It comes from both/and. And neither. 

Success is found in committing to BOTH rest AND resolve. And it will NEITHER be found in waiting for it to come find you, nor will it be found in you working to the point of exhaustion, resentment and burnout.

There will be times to do the damned thing even if you don’t feel like it…and digging deeper will be the answer. In fact, there will be times that how you feel about doing something won’t even matter.

And there will be times that how you feel about something is the ONLY thing that matters…and going slower is the only reasonable approach.

And most of the success will come from the time you spend in the sweet spot of your activation:

Before achieving becomes over-achieving.

Before giving becomes over-giving.

Before delivering becomes over-delivering.

Before “invested” becomes “over-invested”.

In that space, you are your most magnetic, brilliant, disruptive self. When all is possible and time could stand still. When you are deeply connected, resourced and on purpose. And you look like you’ve swallowed the moon. 

This is where we need you to be…for the long haul. 

Because you’re not here for the next launch…or even the next level. 

You’re here for the legacy. 

It’s going to take some unlearning, some regrooving, plenty of discernment and will feel like a lot more joy than you ever thought possible. 

Apply here for 30 minutes on me, and let’s go.

The plan’s the easy part.

Your need for planning is butting up against her need for discovering her purpose”, my therapist said as I once again tried to convey the helpless ache in my heart about our kid getting ready to launch into her post-high school life next year.

So simple.
So correct.
And such an extraordinary relief.

(This is why we work with therapists, right?)

I had been struggling endlessly to understand why I was feeling so frustrated about what was next for our daughter...and the lack of a definitive plan.

‘Cause, I eat, sleep and dream plans. I find solace in a spreadsheet and a Saturday morning checklist just may be my love language.

And when I’m not eating, sleeping and dreaming plans or being turned on by a notion board, I’m helping my clients map out the strategic plans to their dreams.

In fact, in our work, that’s the easy part. The 2% of the work I ACTUALLY do with my clients. It typically happens within our first two calls, once we get good and aligned with their vision. Shape it and sharpen it up to make sure said vision is THEIRS, true and not someone else’s narrative or projection.

We plot expanded trajectories, streamlined strat plans and lucrative launches...like I said, that’s the easy part.

Because, like our daughter, my clients are brilliant, resourceful and so-much-more-than capable. They have the charisma, the skills, the drive and the determination. They open doors and the world lights up when they walk THROUGH those doors.

But UNLIKE our daughter, they have already named what they ARE here to do. They hold that vision and they know it’s their gift.

They are not in discovery...they are in deepening...and they are here to expand into the full greatness they already recognize in themselves. And to get it DONE.

One of the stellar humans in the Your Impeccable Impact program just shared this with me:

 
 


Like this glorious client, my people want to be unstoppable as they steward world- and culture-shifting work in their organizations. To be unwavering in their commitment and activation of what they are here to disrupt. To be unshakeable as they create a legacy of excellence by being Models of Possibilities for those coming up behind them.

And quite simply: to stop fearing the success that they have been yearning for all along.

So the plan is one of logistics. Of identifying support, budgets, contingencies and timelines needed to scale the mountain of their vision.

It’s not JUST the plan that they need. I repeat: that’s the easy part.

And it also bears repeating that it’s not the drive and determination either. They already have that and consistent action is not ever my people’s issue.

It’s the confidence and knowledge that when the mountain gets steep, their rucksack is stocked with every last tool that they will need...and the BELIEF that they know how to use them. That every moment of self-doubt is old programming ready to be regrooved. That the patterns can be rewritten with a glorious new ending.

And that this mountain may be but a foothill in the mountain chain of their choosing. Should that be their desire.

That’s what I do all day every day.

And we’re gonna get started with a new Your Impeccable Impact cohort in January.

Let’s take 30 minutes to see if it’s the right place for you.

In the meantime, I’ll be over here holding space for my kid to explore what’s calling her forward, ready to map out the plan the second she says it’s time.

But for you and I? Let’s go climb a mountain.

How many screenwriters are working on the movie of your life?

A story and a thought experiment for you this week.

Last Thursday was my husband's birthday. Having already celebrated it gala style with an epic party earlier in the fall, things were a little more low-key. So we were hanging out in the kitchen, late afternoon, the kid home from school and me done work for the day. We had a couple of hours before our oyster dinner reservation, so we sipped our respective beverages, and chatted about our days.

I shared some wins and some challenges I was sorting out, Greg shared his favourite parts of the day and our daughter, a fabulous storyteller, shared some delightful anecdotes. At one point she noted that her English teacher was surprised when L used "wanton" in a sentence. “What sentence was that?”, I asked. "Bridget Jones, wanton Sex Goddess?" 

We laughed, then met each others’ eyes at the same moment.

Should we, they asked?

Yeah, they affirmed.

And that's how we found ourselves on the couch puppy-piled in front of a fire watching Bridget Jones' Diary at 4pm on a Thursday.

With about a half an hour to go we realized the fire was cozy, the couch was cozy, the company was cozy and that ordering in Thai and watching another movie were the best idea ever. Oysters could wait.

 But what to watch next? 

Well, the second Bridget Jones movie seemed like a reasonable thing, given none of us had seen it and a double feature would fit the bill just fine. Maybe even the third if the second went well. (We’re wild like that.)

So the Thai order was placed and the opening credits started to roll.

“Uh oh”, said Greg.

“What?”, we asked.

“There are too many screenwriters listed. That’s a bad sign.” He said it with great certainty, but I tucked it away, snuggling deeper into the puppy pile.

We then proceeded to watch what may easily be categorized as the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life. That's a large statement, and that may not be your truth (that’s cool), but for the purposes of this letter, just know it’s true for me. 

Afterwards, I asked him what he meant about the screenwriters. And he said, with the same certainty as before, maybe more this time that his theory was proven: “the more screenwriters on a film, the more lost the plot becomes, and the more people they brought in to try to fix it. In this case, it didn't work.”

You can see where I'm going here, right?

It's the same for many of us.

We have so many inputs from well-intending people with great ideas, great energy and great conviction. Folks who see the best in us, and who WANT the best for us. 

When we are at our best, most aligned selves, we take what we need, release what won’t serve, can integrate and move forward, closer and closer towards the lives of our deepest desires and creating the impact we are destined to have. That’s how an ICON moves.

But when we are not at our best, we cannot distinguish between good counsel and projection and can find ourselves overwhelmed with all of the inputs. We can start to meander off our own plot. 

This has been true for me as someone who thrives on community and collective wisdom. I've said this many times and I will continue to say it: my success is inextricably linked to the incredible folks, mentors, peers, colleagues, family and clients that I have the honour of travelling with.

But I recognized long ago that there were times and places and spaces where I have let other people inform too much of what I believed, knew and did. Particularly when I was underresourced. 

Because ultimately, I always know what to do. For ME.

Ultimately, my intuition matters above all else. For ME.

Ultimately, I am always the authority of me.  For ME.

It’s only when I forget any of those truths that I find myself adrift and trying to solve a problem with ridiculous plot twists, egregious dialogue and some very questionable choices.

So today I have a thought experiment for you: 

  • Who are the screenwriters in your life?

  • What if you didn't need multiple teams to come in and try to fix you? 

  • What if you took some teams off the project and went back to the basics of your own knowing?

You don’t need fixing.
You just may need to remember what you are here to do.
You just may need someone to help you stay with the plot.

And you just may need to have someone strong-hearted and fearless by your side as you ascend the mountain called the world-changing work you’ve been assigned by your soul.

For some of you, I may be that someone. I’ve got the tools and the fortitude to do it. 

That’s my job.

Is the Imposter Complex ON your side?!

Is the Imposter Complex ON your side?!

Post-vacation catch up and pre-back to school busyness has kicked in over here at TG Coaching HQ.

With my business mind spinning with new ideas and my mama heart trying to (unsuccessfully) figure out how to bottle time, I’ve been trying to get centered by listening to more podcasts than usual.

One of the many conversations I enjoyed listening to was between Dr. Maya Shankar and Adam Grant about the science of changing our minds. As someone who continues to look critically at my own relationship with decisiveness and discernment, I was already hooked, given the subject matter. However, what I wasn’t expecting was for them to take a quick detour to talk about the Imposter Complex, and namely why it can be a GOOD thing.

In my work, I definitely attempt to dial down the gravitas of the Imposter Complex, because I often find folks will gaslight themselves for having the experience. But it’s not often I hear others saying the IC has great BENEFITS, so I found myself leaning in a little more.

I’m gonna take a quick sidebar here to say: we’re seeing tons of new folks on our list (maybe you found me through my newest training, so WELCOME!)

If you’re new here, allow me to offer up a little overview on some of the GOOD NEWS about the Imposter Complex.

If you experience the Imposter Complex, you are BY DEFINITION a high-achiever with strong values of proficiency, excellence and INTEGRITY.

  • If you experience the Imposter Complex, you are HIGHLY RELATIONAL. (You can see that in the challenges you may experience relative to people-pleasing, comparison, and boundaries.)

  • If you experience the Imposter Complex, doing things RIGHT and by the book MATTERS to you. (And honestly? I want to live in a world where THAT matters to more people.)

  • I hope you’ll forgive the continued overuse of the word “matters” here, but if you experience the Imposter Complex, it’s ONLY in the areas that matter to you. Your leadership. Parenting. Writing. Teaching. Activism. Business. It’s a litmus test of sorts. Like, “does this matter enough?”

Alright, now that everyone’s refreshed on those very important points, back to the Grant and Shankar conversation. They mentioned research done by Basima Tewfik on the ways in which high-achievers might be more successful BECAUSE of their imposter-based thoughts.

For instance, medical professionals who hold any degree of uncertainty about best ways forward are far more inclined to LISTEN to their patients, rather than make presumptions about their lived experience. This is very good. Tewfik found the same was true with investment professionals. Better listening, better outcomes. Win-win.

I know for myself, the less I think I know about something, the less confident I feel in my COMPETENCE. I am that much more inclined to listen more to others who know more than I do, which is also very good.

And this exploration dovetailed beautifully with another podcast episode I have listened to more than once. It was an extraordinary conversation between Alok and the hosts of the Man Enough Podcast, about compassion and the intrinsic value of interdependence. It’s that last sliver that I’m thinking about as it relates to the Imposter Complex (but the whole hour is worth listening to.)

When we drop our pretense of perfection, when we lean in with curiosity, when we gather up support...this is when we are at our best. When we are at our most vital.

This is when we are at our most human and humane.

And this is where I ended up after sitting with both conversations.

There are useful things we can know about ourselves when the Imposter Complex shows up in our lives. Concurrently, it can also be true that there are moments in which those IC-based thoughts force us to stand up taller, listen harder, and think about things from a different lens.

But also: I’m on a mission to make sure it isn’t holding you back from doing the life-changing work you’re here to do.

Yes, I want to live in a world where folks are highly relational, curious, good listeners who want to do right by the book.

AND?

I ALSO want to live in a world where those same highly relational, curious and listening folks REWRITE the book. Because the “how this has always been done” book of status quo wasn’t written with everyone’s freedom and activation prioritized.

And the Imposter Complex may be keeping that proverbial book from being rewritten.

  • It may be keeping the words lodged in your throat.

  • It may be keeping your hand lowered.

  • It may be keeping you from rising up to meet the challenge.

  • It may be keeping you from finding your right people and your right people from finding you.

  • It may be keeping you ONLY in the questions and precluding decisive action.

  • It may be keeping you from taking up the space the universe has carved out for you and only you.

To all of this I say: not on my watch.

That’s why I do THIS work. I help folks challenge their internal programming so they can in turn challenge the programming that creates and colludes with systems of oppression.

I like to ask at the beginning of each of my speaking gigs: How can we talk about the things that feel risky when we struggle to talk about the things that reside in our wheelhouse of excellence? How can we claim a seat at a new table when we don’t even sit up tall at our own?

Let’s stay highly relational. Let’s keep being curious. Let’s embrace our high-achieving selves. Let’s retain our values of proficiency, excellence, and INTEGRITY. Let’s keep listening.

AND let’s get into action.

Informed by the Imposter Complex, but unencumbered by it.

Both/AND.

This is what I do best.

Let’s talk.

You and me.

You’re ready, and so am I.

And the world is waiting.

Is your pricing challenge a result of the Imposter Complex? Maybe. Maybe not.

Is your pricing challenge a result of the Imposter Complex? Maybe. Maybe not..png

I’ve been doing a ton of teaching and live training of late. Really fun teachings* with really fun world-changers (killer combo, right?)

And as ever, my FAVOURITE part of every speaking and teaching gig is the Q+A part.

It’s then that I really, REALLY get to know what’s up for people.

What I noticed pretty much across the board at every event was that the business owners in the space wanted to know about PRICING. 

More specifically, questions like:

“is my struggle with pricing related to the Imposter Complex?”

“is my struggle with pricing related to people-pleasing?”

“is my struggle with pricing related to leaky boundaries?”

“is my struggle with pricing related to diminishment?”

“is my struggle with pricing related to comparison?”

“is my struggle with pricing related to perfectionism?”

“is my struggle with pricing related to procrastination?”

My answer is generally: 

Yep, most likely.

To all.

AND?

It could ALSO be related to:

  • An enduring hangover from a toxic corporate stint.

  • Living inside systems and structures that are committed to devaluing underrepresented folks.

  • Not having great models of possibility for fair, sustainable and HONOURING pricing practices.

  • A trauma response.

  • Family of origin upper limit situations.

  • And about 567 other possible factors unique to each and every one of us.

SO, it’s an ALIGNMENT and CONGRUENCY problem.

One that doesn’t simply go away by listening to some random business coach telling you carte blanche to double your rates, or add two (plus?) zeroes to your service package prices. 

‘Cause you and I know that’s not in integrity for you. And I know that MATTERS to you. (That integrity, paradoxically, is CENTRAL to the Imposter Complex experience.)

But just for fun, let’s go ahead and run with how the manifestations of the Imposter Complex can get up in your pricing grill.

“Is my struggle with pricing related to people-pleasing?”

Possibly. Listen, you are relational. You are likeable. This is an important aspect of you. It has served you well. And it is entrenched in who you are and how (likely) how you’ve been conditioned. 

AND...you have an embedded belief that people will be mad or disappointed that your work is not free, given that YOU know how “easy” it is for you to do. And maybe you HAVE had an experience of having to endure someone’s disappointment. I get it. 

AND? If you are clear that your pricing is the right price, then this is a muscle you simply need to work out.

Because resentment pricing is no joke and has the exact OPPOSITE effect that you are hoping for.

Charge the right price. YOUR people will get it. And YOUR people will pay it.

“Is my struggle with pricing related to leaky boundaries?”

Could be. Part of the reason folks struggle with boundaries is related to a BEAUTIFUL value of generosity. We LOVE this about you.

AND? Many people will come to me when they are aware that they are on a pricing plateau. They RECOGNIZE it as an issue because they have a newly evolved sense of the value of their work. 

But they are at an inflection point. They know they need to charge more and just can’t bring themselves to elevate their prices. Or they WILL decide to elevate their prices, but then get wiggly about allowing the project scope to creep. Or they will overdeliver in an effort to make it “worth their clients’ while”...as if the inherent goodness of their work wasn’t enough. I get it.

And? A good question to ask yourself: “who benefits from me staying on this plateau?”

“Is my struggle with pricing related to diminishment?”

“How does she think she is to charge that rate?” is most likely the number one reason stopping folks from raising their rates. WHAT EVERYONE will think, right?

Best to stay under the radar.

Best to not get noticed.

Best to not call attention to ourselves.

But when we sit here, we miss the opportunity to call out clients, AND OURSELVES forward. Every time I have raised my rates, the standards I have set for the impeccability of my work has risen exponentially. And I’m here for that. (It’s what I want for you as well.)

“Is my struggle with pricing related to comparison?”

Oh it’s quite possible. Comparison starts out as due diligence. Seeing what the market can bear. Which is smart...and strategic. Knowing where your service pricing lands on a spectrum of other service providers is just good business. 

Just remember to keep your eye on the outcomes YOU deliver. Keep an eye on how YOU move. Keep an eye on what your clients experience is with working with YOU and only YOU. There is no one like you. NO. ONE.

And then get to it.

“Is my struggle with pricing related to perfectionism?”

Interestingly enough, while I’ve seen perfectionism play into pricing in a myriad of ways, I don’t find it to be the BIGGEST issue related to pricing as you are pretty sure you’re going to deliver at a high value. Overdelivering, to be certain. Nearing burn-out because your perfectionism requires exacting standards from you and you alone and so you don’t get additional support to cross the finish line, oh yes. And then some.

But perfectionists undercharging? I’ve got my eye more on their side chaser of diminishment or people-pleasing. 

“Is my struggle with pricing related to procrastination?”

A little like perfectionism, I’m more concerned about the other behavioural traits that might show up WITH the procrastination. Because I often hear folks SAY they know it’s time to raise their rates that haven’t been raised in x number of years, but they take their sweet time BECAUSE of the comparison, people-pleasing, leaky boundaries or diminishment.

There is oh so much more to all of this (a whole book in the making, as I keep saying!) but for the moment, what I’m hoping you can see is that this work is one big carnival game of whack-a-mole.

Diminishment...BASH!

Perfectionism...KAPOW!

And when everything is said and done, these moles are NOT the root cause of the issues. They are manifestations of the Imposter Complex. 

AND? The Imposter Complex is actually a manifestation of the root cause of operating inside of systems and structures that like to keep some folks down. Soooooooooooo...there’s THAT.

Pay attention to the people you admire. And see the way THEY price and I suspect you’ll find that:

  • they have managed to find a way to divest from a belief that the price of their service is related to the value of their beingness

  • they have well-toned asking muscles and do not apologize or 

  • they are congruent and in alignment with their pricing

In fact, on this last point, I’ll go ahead and tell you what I tell almost every client at some point or another:

It’s not their business model, their platform or their messaging that you admire...it’s their ALIGNMENT.

And that’s what we’ve got to get right. With and FOR you. AND your people.

Your ALIGNMENT. Your CONGRUENCY.

Apply for a Discovery Call to discuss how we can get that locked ‘n loaded.

One thing you can count on from me: I will never (ever) be the person to tell you to double your rates, or add two (plus?) zeroes to your service package prices.

We don’t do that complete lack of nuance and context game ‘round here.

But I WILL have you look deeper. And then you just MIGHT decide that doubling your rates is the right next step. (Felt that whoosh? Good.)

So go ahead and apply for a Discovery Call here
