my funny valentine to you, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE] 💘💕🥰

I wrote a little poem for you, Reader, in honor of Valentine's Day. It's a little cheesy, but if we can't have some cheese on Valentine's, then what's life for? 🥰 Roses are red & violets are blue. Where work is concerned, do you love what you do? Maybe you think you haven't earned better That you need education, more creds or a letter. Or maybe you think it'd just be too hard To fix up or change up your work that feels charred. The secret, my friend, is having help to achieve Whatever you need--but you gotta believe. And you don't need a miracle, rich spouse or the lotto Or to give up completely, moving into the grotto. It just takes small changes to get work back on track-- Key targeted thoughts, specific feedback. If you're leading through change and this poem sounds like you, It's time for support, to start to renew. You're invited to talk to me privately soon A morning next week, or perhaps afternoon? It's safe and it's simple, no prep & that's that. So why would you wait to schedule a chat? Your work isn't easy, but you want it to matter. And no, it's not perfect, served up on a platter. But you are the one who deserves more success. How to get it, and soon? (Oh, let's take a guess. ) So roses are red; your cape is red, too. If you're ready for change, you know just what to do. 💕💗❤️ We JUST opened up more coaching consultation slots for Monday, Feb. 17 (President's Day in the US) to help make it easier for those of you who have the day off. If you've been considering investing in professional coaching to help you manage through changes and feel more successful at work, start here. Lots of love to you and yours this Valentine's Day. That red cape looks great on you--keep soaring! Always, Darcy P.S. Okay, that poem was kind of corny. What's not corny is how much it hurts when I see talented leaders like you struggling to figure out your work challenges all alone. One conversation can be the start to a new perspective. Talk soon. 💘 --D |

So Reader, if wishes came true and our crystal balls worked, we'd all be able to see the future. 🔮 But the crystals are cloudy. Let's face it. We're typically as good at futurecasting as we are walking in a straight line while texting. 🛑 Don't believe me? Before the world shut down mid-March 2020, would you have predicted we'd be wearing masks, hoarding toilet paper and working from home? Okay, maybe a few of you would. But most of us? Naw. It's a dilemma many of my coaching clients are...
I'm not a robot, Reader . . . Nope, I'm a real person, really writing this note to you. And in case you're wondering: As the world of artificial intelligence (AI) gets more intelligent and less artificial, Iet me promise you one thing: notes you get from me will always be written by ME. (Me being Darcy, not ME being some new bot, app, or digital helper.) That said, I'm absolutely integrating AI tools into my business and day-to-day life, and I encourage you to do the same. So if it's helpful...
The other day, a coaching client of mine who holds a high-profile job told me about a colleague who criticized her in front of an important group of stakeholders. It's not the first time this has happened. But each time it does, her brain flames up with thoughts like: I'm weak and should be able to stand up for myself I'm an imposter and need to work harder I hate that person and I kind of hate myself more for feeling this way Most people would tackle the problem this way: planning their...
