One of My Favorite New Things

For several years, I sent out a blog to readers a few times a week. These posts gave pointers about how to practice, shared relevant stories, and provided a way for people to connect with my coaching approach. In 2022, I wrote my book, Before You Say Anything, which brought many of these ideas together in one place. The blog posts have continued to resonate with clients and readers, and they're useful as a quick reminder, so I'm including them here!

This post isn’t about communication skills, intention, or some little thing I noticed recently that I thought I’d pass along. No, it’s just a chance for me to share something that’s making me happy lately.

I have shared in this space that I’ve recently gotten really into bird watching. The birds in our backyard—goldfinches, Carolina chickadees, cardinals, bluejays, woodpeckers—make me smile every time I look out and see them.

Though I have three feeders in my yard, and one I can see from my office window, this isn’t enough. Happily, the Cornell University Lab has a camera trained on its multiple-feeder set-up, and they stream it all day long! This morning I watched two woodpeckers face off, jockeying for position side by side, until one finally flew away to a neighboring feeder. Great stuff!

Give it a watch:
