What’s outside your (Zoom) window?

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!

Lately, as I’ve been on video call after video call, I’ve wished I could turn the camera around and show the people I’m speaking with what’s outside my window.


Spring is really underway here in western North Carolina. The forsythia is fully in bloom, a massive yellow burst in a corner of the fence. Above it, the white blossoms of a cherry tree wave from a neighbor’s yard, and daffodils and tulips are starting to peek out underneath.


In my Zoom square, every day is the same. Same bookcase, same books, same photos, same knickknacks. But outside, the world keeps moving.


Thank goodness.
