Want to Crush Your Defining Moment?
With :18 seconds left on the clock at the NCAA tournament in 1982, freshman Michael Jordan rose up to hit the game-winning shot for North Carolina over Georgetown. People highlight that specific shot as the defining moment he realized he could handle the pressure of his college experience — and a career in the NBA, too. Jordan, of course, would go on to win six NBA championships.
Whether you’re a high performer overwhelmed with increasing responsibilities, an entrepreneur scaling a business, or an executive facing a professional or personal challenge, we all face defining moments. And when we overcome them, we positively change our life’s trajectory.
My defining moment occurred when I realized my struggles with anxiety, addiction, and overwhelm were causing my very full life to quickly contract. I had to make a shift. That shift began my journey in the exploration and development of positive practices that have returned me to an expansive life full of meaningful relationships, meaningful experiences, and meaningful work.
Today I use my defining moment to coach high performers through their defining moments. If you’ve hit a wall, feel stuck in your trajectory, or want to take your performance to the next level, I can help you set a practice to make a positive shift.

Overview
It's been 18 months since my last appearance on 20 Minutes with Bronwyn, and what an 18 months it's been! From economic shocks to geopolitical shocks (and more), keeping teams inspired and engaged has never been more challenging. That's why this conversation with Bronwyn on brave and resilient leadership is so timely and so needed.
Three key takeaways
Bronwyn and I jam on strategies that can help leaders lead during this time of energetic and "spiritual dryness" that comes from too many crises.
If you're working through a tough decision that will have a major impact on your team, you'll hear the two key questions to ask before making that decision.
I did something for the first time on podcast: I led Bronwyn through a three minute guided meditation. It was incredibly centering for me at the start of our conversation, and I hope it does the same for you.
