Welcome, I appreciate you being here. Quick question - can you relate to any of these?

→ You don't always explain your points clearly and concisely.
→ You sometimes feel nervous when speaking or presenting to groups.
→ You don't feel as confident in difficult situations (or around certain people).
→ You find it hard to organize and articulate your thoughts on the spot. 

If so, I totally get it. 

Even the lifetime overachievers and high performers feel this way sometimes. 

But what if you could make these 3 changes?

1) Learn to speak with unshakeable confidence
2) Master charisma to captivate any audience
3) Learn to organize and articulate your thoughts clearly and concisely 

(Especially on the spot or in high pressure situations)

If you do, you could gain:

— The ability to stay calm under pressure
— The power to own the room when speaking
— Increased respect from everyone you meet 
— A strong reputation in your company and industry 
— Open doors to new career/business opportunities

Now you might be thinking, 

"This all SOUNDS good Ty, but how the heck do you actually get there?" 😅

Great question. That's where coaching comes in! 

There are 3 key parts of my coaching program: 

1.) Personalized 1-on-1 coaching sessions tailored to your needs
2.) Step-by-step weekly plans to ensure constant improvement
3.) Messaging access for additional support and questions throughout the week 

Everything in the program is backed by science (and has been done with hundreds of people)

Because I know everything works, there's a 100% money back guarantee.

And if you're curious, here's a bit more about me:

→ Former shy, awkward farm kid who was a TERRIBLE speaker and loved avoiding people 

→ Today, 330+ professionals coached 1-on-1 across tech, sales, healthcare, finance, and more

→ World-Class Certified Speaking Coach
(Trained by Craig Valentine, former #1 ranked public speaker in the world) 

→ 3x best-selling author on communication skills 

→ TEDx speaker (recent talk given April 2025)

With all that said...

If you're ready to elevate your speaking skills and advance your career...

DM me the word “COMMUNICATION” 

Happy to have a quick chat about how everything works.

I’ve been on LinkedIn for 10 years.	
And I’ve never properly introduced myself…

My name is Ty, a communication coach born on a small farm in Western Canada. 

This is my story so far:

[1999]: Attacked by a chicken on the farm 
[2011]: Moved from the farm to the city (unrelated to the chicken)

[2015]: Started obsessing over communication 
[2019]: Taught piano to underprivileged kids 
[2020]: Moved to Toronto (it was for love – cheesy I know)

[2021]: Started my coaching business 
[2022]: Became a bestselling author 
[2025]: Gave a TEDx talk

[2025]: Have eaten thousands of chicken breasts to make up for the original attack

And that's only a small part of it. 

I'm also here to help you become an exceptionally clear, confident speaker in 90 days. 

So if you want to rewire your brain to organize and articulate your thoughts better, 

Toss me a DM :)

P.S. What’s your favorite way to eat chicken?

No alternative text description for this image

If you’re talking to someone important, DON’T do this. 

Don’t put them ABOVE YOU in the conversation. 

What does this mean? 

- Being too agreeable 
- Being too eager to please 

Example: 

Earlier today I’m listening to a sales call from one of my clients.

When the prospect would say something about his problem, my client would say: 

“Oh yes, absolutely, lots of people deal with that, that’s a great point” 

(Watch the video to hear the tone I used - that’s what matters most)

The words aren’t terrible, but the energy comes across as:

“I want you to like me” 
“I want you to accept me”

And it seems like you’re putting the other person above you.

It’s better to have a more neutral energy. 

And this is true no matter how big or important the other person is.

If you want to have more success with important people, speak to them as if you’re on a level playing field.

After all, you’re both humans, right?

Do you agree with this frame?

Many people disagreed with JD Vance here.

He said: 

“Turkey doesn’t actually taste that good”

He claimed we really only make it because of tradition. 

An interesting take. 

For those who have turkey on Thanksgiving:

Do you agree?

-

Disclaimer: This is not a political comment. 

This is purely a turkey based discussion 🦃

I’ve always HATED this feeling. 

Years ago in a meeting, my boss asks what my thoughts are about one of our processes.

And I have great ideas. 

But…

I ramble and don’t articulate them well. 

When I finish, he stares at me blankly for a couple of seconds, then asks: 

“Anyone else?”

No acknowledgment. 

Then one of my coworkers says something similar. 

But in a more clear, structured way. 

He also sounds more confident.

And everyone was like: 

“Oh, that’s such a great idea, I agree with him, blah blah blah”

Very annoying. 

I’m thinking “I work harder than this guy, and he’s not even very smart, this is nonsense” 

But it was my fault for being a poor communicator. 

And it was my responsibility to be better. 

I decided that communication would never be the thing to hold me back from reaching my potential.

And today as a coach, after working with over 300 1-on-1 clients, 

I never want that to be the thing that holds ANYONE back from reaching their potential. 

So if you’re into self-improvement and becoming the best version of yourself…

This might be worth exploring. 

After all, it’s a skill you use every day, right?

What do you think?

If you want to speak with confidence, you need to stop ‘sitting in the dark.’ 

It’s costing you more than you think.
  
One of my clients described this perfectly:
 
“Improving my speaking feels like sitting in a pitch-black room.
 
And each week, you’re turning up the dimmer switch.”
 
When we started, his “room” was completely dark.
 
He couldn’t see what was holding him back.
 
But every week we worked together, the light got brighter.
 
And he started spotting the things he’d never noticed before:

— The small body language cues that chipped away at his credibility
— The weak, throwaway words that softened his impact
— The facial expressions that gave away his emotions
— The lack of clarity when speaking on the spot
 
These weren’t constant issues.
 
They only appeared in high-pressure situations.
 
(The moments when credibility matters most)
 
But here’s the thing:
 
Once he saw them… he could change them.

Because you can’t fix what you can’t see, right?

So if your speaking still feels “off” at times…
 
You’re probably just sitting in the dark.
 
And my job as a coach is simple:
 
1.) Turn up that dimmer switch
2.) Show you exactly what’s holding you back
3.) Give you a step-by-step plan to fix it

-

If you need to “turn up the dimmer switch” on your speaking, I’m taking on a few new clients before the end of the year. 

Message me “clear” or book a call to learn more.

These 6 simple shifts completely transformed my speaking.
(And my life)

If you do even 1 of these, people will respond to you differently. 

I guarantee it. 

1.) When explaining something, clearly start with your main idea. 
(You're tough to follow otherwise)

2.) Show genuine interest in whatever situation you're in. 
(It’s contagious and people appreciate it)

3.) Serve your audience instead of focusing on yourself.
(They care more about themselves than you)

4.) Free yourself from judgment. 
(Again, they care more about themselves than you)

5.) Plan your stories in advance. 
(They'll be better than 99% of impromptu stories you hear)

6.) Put in more reps. 
(Communication is a skill that needs intentional training)

Which shift will you try first?

And which one has made a difference in your life?

3 Silent Credibility Killers (that might be keeping you stuck)

One of my clients was stuck in the same Director role for years.

Smart guy. 
(Also a bit of an overthinker)

But he couldn’t figure out why he stopped progressing. 

After reviewing a few of his meetings, the issue was clear:

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝟑 𝐂𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤.

𝟏.) 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲

His explanations weren’t sharp or concise enough.
(Articulation of thoughts)

𝟐.) 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

He was unconsciously sending signals of uncertainty at times. 
(Voice and body language)

𝟑.) 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

He’d sometimes assume understanding without confirming. 
(Listening and paraphrasing)

To the average person, these things probably didn't seem like a huge deal. 

Which is why he had a good job and was well-liked. 

But the difference between *good* and *excellent* is what can set you apart from others. 

And that's how you keep moving up. 

So here's what we did:

→ Clarity: Trained his brain to speak clearly under pressure
→ Confidence: Removed the uncertainty signals 
→ Confirmation: Learned to pause & paraphrase the right way

A couple months after working together, he scored a VP role at another company. 

(Keep in mind, the program itself is 3 months, so I won’t sugarcoat this and say he got a new job overnight)

But if you ever feel:

- Less clear than you should be
- Less confident when it matters
- Stuck at a certain level in your career/business 

The good news... is that it's all learnable.

And it's my favorite type of work. 

What do you think?

Can you relate to any of this?

If you’ve been trying to improve your communication, here’s why it still feels HARDER than it should.

You’re only trying to fix the parts you can see.

But the real problems are always the blind spots.

→ The shifts in tone you don’t hear.
→ The weak words you don’t notice.
→ The way nerves change your voice without you realizing.

Once you see these blind spots, your clarity and confidence jump fast.

That’s why I do free strategy sessions.

You get a clear breakdown of:

→ What’s actually holding you back
→ What to fix first for the biggest ROI
→ What your communication could look like in 90 days

No pressure. Just clarity.

And right now is the best time to do it.

Why?

Because for Cyber Monday, I’m doing 20% off all coaching programs.

(I would have posted this on Black Friday, but I was going HARD on the Christmas shopping. Lol)

Every program is customized to your level and budget.

For example, in the past week:

→ A new engineer signed up for a $1,000 program over 3 months.
→ An experienced CIO signed up for a $10,000 program over 3 months.

Different goals. Different intensity.
Both completely customized.

If you want this level of clarity, book a strategy session here:

https://lnkd.in/gTj3THS6

Remember: According to studies by Harvard, Stanford, and the Carnegie Foundation...

85% of a person's financial success is based on the level of their communication skills.

And if 300+ people have increased their income, confidence, and influence in my programs, why can't you?

-

Btw, the 20% off only applies to calls booked this week, so let's get cracking!

If you ever get locked out of your house, try this...

Speak to your lock calmly and clearly.

Because communication is key 🔑 

Corny jokes aside, 

Communication does open a lot of doors. 

A person who can articulate their ideas: 

- Confidently
- Clearly
- Concisely 

While being: 

- Likable 
- Trustworthy 
- Respected 

can naturally attract the right opportunities. 

And the right people. 

Personally and professionally. 

Do you agree?

-

P.S. 3 more days left to take advantage of 20% off coaching programs for Black Friday. 

Message me or book a call to learn more 🧠

If you don’t sound confident, people *don’t care* about what you’re saying.

That’s the cost of unclear communication.

I’ve seen smart people waste many hours: 

- Listening to podcasts 
- Watching YouTube videos 
- Going through online courses 

The problem is that consuming content doesn’t mean real-life improvement.

Here’s what actually works.

1.) Training your brain to clearly articulate your thoughts.

2.) Rewiring your confidence on a subconscious level

3.) Getting feedback on the exact situations you’re in. 

(The ones that actually help you make more money)

That’s what helped my client Mark turn things around quickly.

He was experienced, sharp, and highly capable, but in important conversations, he wasn’t as clear as he wanted.

And he wasn’t coming across as his best self.

So what did we do?

- Changed how he organized his ideas
- Elevated the way he delivered them
- Rewired the way his brain sees tough situations

And within 3 months, he was able to consistently speak with world-class levels of clarity and confidence. 

(No matter who was around)

Now if you’ve ever felt frustrated with something you said, remember this: 

Becoming an excellent communicator doesn’t have to take forever.

And you don’t need to figure it out alone.

If you had a system for improvement, you would be light years ahead of most people in 3 months. 

As always, I’m rooting for you.

“How long does it take to see results with your coaching?”

It’s a question that comes up sometimes. 

Here’s the truth: 

Most people start noticing a difference within 2 weeks.

But these are small changes. 

The bigger transformations happen over a few months.

Now in those first 2 weeks, what do people usually notice?

It depends what we’re working on, but it’s some combo of: 

- Finding it easier to organize and articulate your thoughts 
- Feeling a bit more confident and in control 
- Feeling a bit calmer and more composed
- Less filler words and weak words 

Now keep in mind, these aren’t MASSIVE changes immediately.

There’s no magic pill where you wake up in 2 weeks and suddenly become an elite communicator.

Trust me.

Because I’ve been trying to create one of those magic pills for years.

(If I figure it out, you’ll be the first to know)

With that said, you keep noticing changes as you improve each week.

And by the time the program ends, most people are shocked at how much progress they’ve made.

They’re also shocked at how differently people respond to them.

Why?

Not because we did anything crazy.

But because they’ve never had a proper, customized plan to follow before.

It’s like anything else.

How much money do you save without a proper budget or plan for your finances?

If you’re like me… probably not much.

But when you have a proven plan to follow, that’s when you start seeing real results.

Communication works the same way.

- 

If you’re curious about exploring this type of coaching, feel free to toss me a DM. 

(It’s getting cold in Toronto which means most of my time will be spent on my computer)

A lot of entrepreneurs think they’re “pretty good communicators." BUT...

That belief is exactly what’s holding them back.

Because if you think you sound "good enough"

You stop improving.

You stop reviewing your calls.
You stop asking for feedback.

And slowly, you start losing opportunities you never notice.

“Good enough” leaves money on the table. 

It doesn’t command rooms.
It doesn’t inspire people to follow your lead.

I’ve coached founders who built 7-figure businesses.

But they knew their thoughts weren't clear enough under pressure. 

And they still had those moments thinking: 

"I wish I had said that differently"

For many of you, the real leap isn’t from bad to good.

It’s from good to exceptional.

That’s where clarity, confidence, and composure can help you: 

- Close more deals 
- Get better opportunities 
- Be seen as an authority figure 

And ultimately scale your business.

Now a quick question to think about: 

How would you know if your communication skills have plateaued?

“You’re not making as much money as you want because you’re not saying the right words. 

Or saying them the right way.”

Hormozi is right. 

And because I’ve helped over 300 people with these exact things, I’ve seen a lot of mistakes.

Let’s talk about a MASSIVELY common mistake I see all the time.

(I’ve literally reviewed thousands of calls from myself and others, and this happens WAY more than it should)

The mistake:

Not giving enough space for your words to be absorbed. 

This comes across in 2 ways:

1.) Going too fast
2.) Not pausing the right way

If you do this, it’s harder for people to absorb and understand the significance of what you’re saying.

Which means you’re much less likely to get the results you want. 

If you give your words space…

It’s easier for people to understand the value of what you’re saying.

This shift alone could make you a LOT more money. 

And get you a LOT more buy-in on your ideas.

So watch your calls back, watch your meetings back, and make sure you’re not making this mistake.  

P.S. When was the last time you watched a recording of yourself speaking?

Why does no one talk about your State Of Mind when it comes to communication?

The state that you’re in can have a massive impact on the way you communicate. 

Imagine this: 

1.) You’ve just had a massive fight with a family member.

2.) Then you spill coffee on yourself. 

3.) Then you stub your toe. 

4.) And you open your computer to see a snarky email from someone you’re not a fan of. 

How are you going to show up and speak in that meeting? 

What’s your energy going to be like?

Now imagine showing up to that same meeting: 

- Calm
- Composed 
- Confident 
- Centered 

Do you think you would speak differently?

Probably, right?

Here’s a 3 step process to quickly change your state. 

BBV: 

1.) Body - sit up straight, open body position 
2.) Breath - slow, deep, intentional breathing 
3.) Visualize - imagine the situation going well 

Even 30 seconds of this will make a difference. 

Being able to optimize your state of mind quickly...

(before any situation)

Is an extremely underrated part of being a great communicator.

Do you agree?

P.S. It’s almost too cold in Toronto to keep doing videos outside…

Do you like to talk? If you do, great. But… 

It doesn’t mean you’re GOOD at it. 

Many of my close friends are extroverts. 

But just because you’re an extrovert… 

It doesn’t mean you’re a good speaker. 

Extroverts may feel comfortable in social situations and enjoy talking more than introverts.

But effective communication is a lot more than being outgoing. 

For example:
 
- Explaining things clearly and concisely
- Telling interesting stories
- Staying calm under pressure 

These are important skills regardless of personality type. 

And if you’re an introvert, you can 100% build these skills. 

And become an exceptional communicator. 

(Even better than your extrovert friends, if you’d like)

Becoming a great speaker requires effort and training. 

Regardless of your personality. 

And whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or anywhere in between…

I’m rooting for you. 

You got this.

I once threw up before a meeting.

Okay, not once. 

Repeatedly.

I struggled a lot with speaking early in my career. 

It made me feel unworthy of success.

But the good news is that it forced me to learn a lot. 

5 lessons I learned from this period:

1.) Confidence is not a fixed thing.  
It’s something you can program into your brain. 

2.) Anxiety grows in avoidance. 
Trying to speak less doesn't solve anything. 

3.) Even 5 minutes of prep helps. 
Writing ideas out before a meeting will make you speak better. 

4.) No one wants you to sound smart. 
They just want you to be clear and simple to understand. 

5.) Time does not heal all things. 
Waiting for things to get better does not work. 

Thankfully, I'm now comfortable speaking in all different types of situations. 

Do I like to do it? 

Well, let's just say I still have to fight the introvert urge to stay home all the time. Haha 

But anything is more enjoyable when you know what you're doing. 

How about you?

What's one fear that you've outgrown?

P.S. Here's a pic of me from around that time. 
(10+ years ago) 

The editors must have been generous filling in my beard, because my facial hair was not very good at this age 😂

A founder I'm working with was UPSET after a board meeting:

“I was trying to sound stronger and ended up rambling.”

He runs a $10M+ company.
Incredibly smart guy.

He does big numbers.
He has the vision.

But when he had to speak in big moments, he still overdid it sometimes. 

- Talked too fast.
- Explained too much.
- Added points that didn’t need to be there.

Not wrong... just too much.

And it made his message harder to follow.

“I could see them checking out,” he told me.

“It felt like I was trying too hard.”

How did we fix this?

We worked on: 

1.) Tight structure
2.) Clear pacing
3.) Cutting 30% of what he was saying

A few weeks later, an investor said to him:

“You seem more sharp lately.

I don't know what you're doing, but it's landing better.”

He was pumped. 

Strong communication isn’t about talking more.

It’s about sounding clear, confident, and credible.

And instead of feeling frustrated or annoyed...

(because you know you could be speaking better)

You get to feel confident and proud of the way you speak. 

What do you think?

Do you ever feel like you’re trying too hard to sound “on”?

Warren Buffets wants you to invest in communication skills. 

It’s not just me. Ha
 
I love this quote from him: 

“The one easy way to become worth 50% more than you are now - at least - is to hone your communication skills - both written and verbal.

If you can’t communicate, it’s like winking at a girl in the dark.

Nothing happens. 

You can have all the brainpower in the world, but you have to be able to transmit it.”

You heard it from the man himself! 

Do you agree? 

P.S. I’m not sold on these A.I. pictures, but I think it’s better for everyone if it’s obvious they’re not real 😅

I’ve done hundreds of calls with prospects over the years, but I heard something RARE yesterday.   

We’re discussing the motivation behind him wanting to become a better communicator, and he says: 

“Well, I like giving gifts to people, I like buying nice things, I like giving people experiences.

And in order to give people the best experience possible, especially my clients, communication is a big part of that.”

He goes on to say:

“I’m a person that values quality, and the way that I speak should reflect that quality at a high level.”

This was interesting because normally people say things like: 

—> “I want to be more confident” 

—> “I want to advance my career and make more money”

—> “I want to grow my business and be able to influence people” 

—> “I want to get into politics so I can deceive people and get large amounts of power only to use it for personal gain and then not do any of the things I promised”

You know, the usual stuff. 

(Just kidding about that last one)

But this was a bit different. 

It was about: 

1.) Delivering an elevated, premium experience every time he speaks.

2.) Holding himself to a higher personal standard.

I thought it was interesting. 

What do you think?

Have you ever thought about speaking from that perspective?

1) Walking into the conversation everyone's avoiding

While others send "per my last email," you knock on the door.
The person willing to say what needs saying becomes the person everyone calls.

2) Listening like the outcome depends on it

Most people wait for their turn to talk.
Leaders wait to understand.
That's the difference.

3) Reading the room before reading the agenda

Who's really making the decision?
What's the actual concern?
Who needs to be convinced?

Master this and meetings become chess, not checkers.

4) Asking the question that changes everything

"What problem are we really solving here?"

The person brave enough to redirect the conversation becomes indispensable.

5) Staying calm when everyone else is losing it

Calm is contagious.
So is panic.

Choose wisely.

---

Your credentials get you in the room.
Your presence gets you the role.

The internet taught us to optimize our image.
But careers are still built face-to-face.

Elite athletes train differently for different eras.
Elite professionals don't.
And it's showing:

While you're perfecting yesterday's playbook, the game changed:

Promotions dropped 30%.
Career ladders vanished.
AI rewrote value.
Strategy moves faster than job descriptions.

The high performers still following old rules?

They're the ones getting passed over.
They're the ones stuck in place.
They're the ones wondering why their effort isn't paying off.

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝟱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀:

1) 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁
Your future identity shapes your next move, not your past.

2) 𝗕𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲
You must be seen as essential to what's next.

3) 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻, 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘁
Your role is a platform for reinvention, not a ladder.

4) 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗼
Nonlinear growth comes from timing, positioning, knowing when to walk.

5) 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆
Your nervous system is your ceiling.

The brutal truth?
Career stagnation isn't just frustrating.
It's career suicide.

Waiting for clarity = getting lapped.
Following old patterns = falling behind.
Playing it safe = playing to lose.

I failed plenty in my life.

But failure never cost me the most:

The truth?
It was the chances I never took.

→ The chances I talked myself out of
→ The conversations I avoided
→ The dreams I delayed “for later”

Watching others build the life I wanted
while I waited for the “right time”...
that’s what stung the most.

Here’s what fulfilled people figure out sooner:

✔ Regret lasts longer than failure
✔ Discomfort is the price of growth
✔ Waiting is the most expensive habit


3 moves to reclaim your life before the year ends:

1) Use the final stretch as your launchpad
↳ Most people drift through the holidays.
↳ You’ll build structure, urgency, and focus: the ingredients real change needs.

2) Make one uncomfortable move now
↳ The life you want sits behind the decision you keep avoiding.
↳ Make it now before the year carries you into default.

3) Trade motivation for systems
↳ You don’t need to feel ready.
↳ You need a framework that moves even when you don’t feel like it.


🎯 Ready to turn reflection into real progress?

Recharge your life by finishing this year with intention and power.
Don’t wait for January.

The final stretch of the year is still ahead of you.
And it’s the most overlooked opportunity for momentum.

Let me show you how 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCzP3Cq3

If you've been feeling like an impostor lately…
you're not broken; the career game changed:

“𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴” 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹:
New tools drop weekly.
Roles morph faster than job descriptions.
"Best practices" expire before you apply them.

The people who thrive aren’t the ones who 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲.
They’re the ones who 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿.

Adam Grant puts it perfectly:

🚫 Impostor syndrome:
“I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s only a matter of time until everyone finds out.”

✅ Growth mindset:
“I don’t know what I’m doing yet. It’s only a matter of time until I figure it out.”

That one word changes everything.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁:
→ Name what you don’t know (early).
→ Learn in public.
→ Start before you feel qualified.
→ Signal curiosity over certainty.

This is the NEW ERA OF WORK.
NEW Game. NEW Rules.

🎯 Want to thrive in the new era of work?

Your nervous system is shrinking your career:
I used to think I was held back by timing, visibility, or office politics.

Turns out, I was looking in the wrong place.

The real blocker? My nervous system.


Here's what the science shows:

Under pressure, your brain shifts into protection mode. Strategic thinking shuts down. Old patterns take over.

👉 Yale researchers found that stress temporarily disables the neural circuits responsible for communication, creativity, and long-range decision-making.

Translation: The moment you need your best thinking is exactly when your system makes it unavailable.


But here's the part that changed everything for me:

👉 Harvard's "thin-slicing" research shows people form impressions of your confidence and leadership in 30-40 milliseconds.

Before you even speak.

They're reading your nervous system state through micro-expressions, breath, posture, tone.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱:
Your thinking sharpens.
You speak from truth.
People trust you instinctively.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁:
You over-explain.
Your presence shrinks.
Your skills become unavailable.

Same capability. Different internal state. Completely different outcomes.

I've had both experiences in the same week - sometimes in the same day.

The difference was never my preparation.
It was my capacity to stay grounded under pressure.

Which brings me to the most important insight:

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
𝗜𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲.

So I stopped optimizing my strategy and started expanding my capacity.

Here's what actually works:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟵𝟬-𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁
Before any high-stakes moment:
Inhale for 4. Exhale for 6. Repeat for 90 seconds.

This signals to your system: "This is intense... and I'm safe."

It sounds simple. It's wildly effective.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸
Ask the direct question.
Name the aspiration.
Share the idea.

A 10-15% stretch. No over-preparing. Just presence.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
End of week, ask yourself:
"Where is my capacity being asked to grow?"

More visibility?
More boldness?
More stability under pressure?

That answer is always your next step.

The skills you've built don't disappear under pressure.

They just become unavailable when your system feels unsafe.

Build capacity. The opportunities will follow.

Asking for a raise is 𝘃𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. So is pitching a bold idea. So is saying “I don’t know.”
We just don’t call it that:

We've been sold a lie about vulnerability at work.

That it's crying in meetings.
Oversharing about your personal life.
Being unprofessional or weak.

Wrong.

Researcher Brené Brown defines vulnerability as:
“Uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure.”

𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂:
→ Ask for a promotion you’re not sure you’ll get
→ Admit you don’t have the answer
→ Pitch an idea that might flop
→ Give hard feedback to someone you respect
→ Lead when you’re still figuring it out

That’s vulnerability.
And that’s real courage in motion.

💡 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀:

You can’t grow if you never risk being wrong.
You can’t lead if you’re faking certainty.
You can’t build trust if you never let people see you.

The strongest people I know lead with vulnerability.

It sounds like:
→ “I’m still learning, but I’m in.”
→ “This is hard... and I care enough to try.”
→ “I’ll go first, even if it’s uncomfortable.”

It’s not easy.
But it’s how trust is built.
It’s how careers move.
It’s how people follow you.

Next 54 days are worth more than the previous 311:

✔ Your brain’s recency bias defines success:
→ How you finish is how you’ll remember the whole year.

✔ Deadline pressure creates superhuman focus.
→ You can do more inside a time container than in months of casual effort.

✔ Identity shifts happen in sprints, not marathons.
→ Stack wins now. Start 2026 already in motion.

Turn overthinking into your superpower:

1) Reframe overthinking as deep thinking.
↳ You’re thinking thoroughly. Your ability to see nuances is a strength, not a flaw.

2) Create “if-then” plans.
↳ Overthinkers are great at predicting obstacles. Use that to pre-plan solutions.

3) Name your negative voice.
↳ When self-doubt creeps in, say: “Oh, there goes Bob again.” Instant detachment.

4) Set a “decision deadline.”
↳ Give yourself 24 hours to research, then act. No endless loops.

5) Brainstorm, then bucket.
↳ Write down EVERY idea—then categorize them: urgent, future, unnecessary.

6) Challenge your assumptions.
↳ Ask: “What’s the worst that could actually happen?” 90% of the time, it’s survivable.

7) Use “think time” intentionally.
↳ Block 20 minutes just for overthinking. Once time’s up, move on.

8) Find a “thought filter.”
↳ Run your thoughts by a mentor, friend, or coach. Fresh perspective = clarity.

9) Default to action.
↳ When stuck in loops, do something. A small action clears the mental fog.

10) Turn overthinking into creativity.
↳ Your inner dialogue is a gold mine. Overthinkers make brilliant writers, artists, and innovators.

Overthinking isn’t the enemy. Uncontrolled overthinking is.
Harness it, and you’ll make better decisions, faster.

Master your untapped advantage.

“I can’t” sounds like a fact.

But it usually hides:

→ Fear in disguise
→ Doubt in your ability
→ A story you’ve outgrown

Instead, take this on as a practice:
“I’ll figure it out.”

It doesn’t mean you know the answer.
It means you trust yourself to take the next step.

Not once. Repeatedly.

Truth: the more you move, the more you trust yourself to keep going.


💡 Why now?
The final 40 days of the year are the most overlooked opportunity for transformation.

✅ There’s a clear endpoint
✅ Natural urgency
✅ Room to build habits before January even begins

Most people waste it.
You won’t.

The hardest part of change?
The space between “I want to” and “I’m doing it.” :

It’s not laziness.
It’s neuroscience.

That tiny pause between intention and action?
It’s where your brain tries to protect you.

It whispers:
→ “What if you don’t follow through again?”
→ “What if this doesn’t work?”
→ “Better to stay here... It’s safer.”

That’s not resistance.
It’s self-protection.

Your brain is wired to conserve energy and avoid risk, even the good kind.

So when someone says, “This sounds amazing,”
but doesn’t take the step, I don’t judge it.
I’ve been there. We all have.

We wait to feel ready.
We wait for January.
We wait for the perfect moment that never comes.

But momentum never begins with readiness.
It begins with a decision:
A click. A yes. A line crossed.

The final stretch of 2025 isn’t leftovers.
It’s a launchpad (if you choose to use it.)

If you’ve been hovering between “I want to” and “I’m doing it”…
this is your moment.

Strategic opportunism is the way of the future.

Loyalty is optional. Leverage is essential:

Most professionals wait too long to leave:
→ The role.
→ The team.
→ The company.

Why? Because they confuse loyalty with strategy.

That worked in the old world.
But in the NEW ERA of WORK, the rules have changed.

𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵:
Companies reward leverage, not tenure.

The people who will win the new game 
read timing like a skill: 
they move when others freeze.

→ Read the room.
→ Know your value.
→ Walk before you stay too long.

This is what creates opportunity in the new era,
not waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder.

I faked confidence by always having something helpful to say.

Turns out? Everyone could tell:

I jumped into every conversation with solutions.
Had opinions on everything.
Volunteered for things I’d never done.

I thought being helpful made me look confident.

Instead, I looked like I was trying too hard.
Proving my worth.
Wearing myself out to keep up the act.

Here’s what I learned:

Real confidence isn’t about answers.
It’s about evidence... proof that you can figure things out.

That shift changed everything.

I stopped performing.
And started building confidence through:
→ Action
→ Discomfort
→ Follow-through

→ Swipe for 5 principles that actually work
→ No affirmations. No faking.
→ Just confidence that compounds

Stop performing. Start proving.

This is for all the corporate misfits:

Your time has finally come. 👇

You never fit the mold:
→ Too bold for bureaucracy
→ Too curious for the status quo
→ Too strategic to just “follow the ladder”

You weren’t the problem.
The system was outdated.

The old rules were built for a slower, safer world.
The new world moves at the speed of reinvention.

What used to be called “difficult” is now called visionary.
What used to be “unconventional” is now essential.

You don't burn out. Get stuck. Or disappointed.

You betray yourself first:

Most ambitious people miss the real warning signs.

They wait for burnout.
They wait for stuck.
They wait for the bottom.

But the damage starts much earlier.

It starts when you notice these quiet shifts:

→ Meetings you once led with energy now drain you
→ You deliver excellent work... and feel nothing
→ Every win feels hollow
→ "Is this it?" keeps creeping in (but you push it down)
→ You imagine a different path, then immediately talk yourself out of it

This isn't burnout yet.
This is self-betrayal, and it always comes first.

It's about noticing the signs... and waiting anyway.

Waiting for it to get worse.
Waiting for permission to act.
Waiting for rock bottom.

Here's what most high performers never realize:

You don't fail because you don't put in enough effort.
You fail because you stay loyal to a version of yourself you've already outgrown.

Stuck is a lagging indicator.
Self-betrayal is the leading one.

If you've been feeling restless, misaligned, or quietly pulled toward something more...
you're not broken.

You're outgrowing your environment.
And you're right on time.

Excellence in the wrong game looks like failure.

And you feel it:

Not because you’re broken,
but because you’re playing by rules that no longer serve you.

You’ve noticed the signs:

→ Ideas that go nowhere
→ Results that don’t turn into recognition
→ Doing more… becoming less
→ Wins that don’t feel like wins
→ Carrying the load but staying invisible

You’re not failing.
You’re outgrowing.

That your confidence slipped.
That you lost your edge.
That you should be grateful to stay exactly where you are.

𝗡𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲.

The game changed while you were mastering it:

→ Hard work doesn’t guarantee advancement
→ Playing it safe is now the riskiest move
→ Yesterday’s strengths don’t signal tomorrow’s value
→ Excellence in the old game means nothing in the new one

Dissatisfaction is not a problem.
It’s a signal, your system telling you the container is too small.

Your capabilities aren’t the issue.
Your potential isn’t the problem.
Your passion isn’t the obstacle.

The career game changed... and no one told you.

You’re doing everything “right”:
• performing
• delivering
• staying visible

And yet…

The promotions slowed.
The opportunities disappeared.
The trajectory flattened.

Here’s the real reason:

You’re playing a game that no longer exists.

AI rewrote job descriptions.
Reorgs replaced ladders.
Market cycles made entire roles obsolete overnight.

But most high performers are still running on the old operating system:

❌ Wait for the annual review
❌ Optimize your performance
❌ Build expertise, protect it
❌ Hope hard work gets noticed

That worked in 2015.

In 2025?
It’s the fastest way to plateau.

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆’𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝟱 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀:

1. You architect clarity (you don’t wait for it)
2. You position for future value, not past effort
3. You evolve your identity before the market forces it
4. You create strategic leverage when timing is right
5. You expand capacity, not just output

This isn’t mindset work.
It’s an operating system upgrade.

The difference between:

Waiting 5 years for the right moment
OR

People think I'm nuts.

This story won't help:

But I'm not nuts.
I just have a high bar for life.

That's why I'm willing to face fear,
hold big visions,
and ask more from life than most think is realistic.

Here's just one story:

In my early 30s (when I was still single), I decided 37 would be the perfect time to have a child.

It didn't happen the way I planned.

At 40, we adopted (not one, but two) girls.
And I felt like an overachiever.
A dream delayed, but fulfilled.

But that's not the wildest part.

Two years later, we got a call:
They had a 5-year-old brother in foster care.
We adopted him too.

Only much later did it hit me:
When he was born, I was 37.

At 37, I had a son.
I just didn't know it yet.

I spent years figuring out how this kind of thing happens.
How you hold a vision so clearly that life conspires to deliver it,
even when the path looks nothing like you imagined.

I've distilled it into a method.
And this Tuesday, I'm teaching it.

Quantum Year-End Reset.
40 days left in the year. 
Enough time to set something in motion.

If you have a high bar for life too

Read this before you convince yourself it's too late:


💌 This is a love letter from your future self.

Here's what they'd want you to know:

Thank you for not waiting.
Thank you for choosing clarity over comfort.
Thank you for stepping into the work that changed everything.

Because one decision, the right one, can override the entire trajectory of your life.

This is the proper way to think about what's next for you...
not from fear, frustration, or fatigue,
but from the vision of the future you want to build.

The truth is, you know a lot. You've got the experience. You've put in the work.

But knowledge, experience, and effort alone don't create breakthroughs.

Because you still have blind spots.
Because you need a method.
Because you need tools.
And because you need the reflection of another person to see what you can't see on your own.

Every meaningful leap begins this way... by seeing what you couldn't see before.

What's one thing your future self would want you to notice right now?

Drop it in the comments - I read every one.

5 hidden signs you're subtly resigned to your life

(and don't even know it):

1) 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘀.
Not because they're bad, because you've pre-decided no one cares.
You've gone quiet in meetings, in conversations, in your own head.

2) 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 "𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸."
Even things you used to find energizing now feel like obligations.
The problem isn't the workload. It's that nothing feels worth the effort anymore.

3) 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗮𝘆 "𝗜'𝗺 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲" 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆.
Not because you are, because it's easier than explaining
that you can't remember the last time you felt genuinely excited about your actual life.

4) 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲.
Permission to want more. To try something bold. To admit you're not satisfied.
Resignation whispers: "Stay small. Stay safe. Don't risk it."

5) 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 "𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳" 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 "𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿."
You used to dream. Now you shrug.
The cost of that shift? Your joy. Your aliveness. The life you actually want.

Here's the truth:
Resignation doesn't announce itself.
It's the slow fade from engaged to just… enduring.

But you don't have to stay there.

I've spent years figuring out how to break this pattern,
how to move from autopilot to alive again.

I've distilled it into a method.
And this Tuesday, I'm teaching it.

Quantum Year-End Reset.
Last 40 days OF the year. Enough time to wake back up.

If you recognized yourself in even one of these signs, this is your moment.
