I have been known to go about life without reading instructions. In my not so humble opinion, it is the most sensible way to get things done. The instruction manual is consulted only in dire situations, which are most likely a direct result from not reading instructions in the first place. I realize this a rather unique approach to life. I attract ridiculous and crazy adventures. While still in utero, my mom tripped and ended up rolling down a somewhat large cliff at a beach on the west coast. We both shook it off like champs, but random things have been happening to me ever since. Over a decade of my life was spent pursuing the ‘dream job and dream life’. After working my way up the corporate ladder and living the life everyone else wanted, I came to realize I wasn’t living at all. Finally, I admitted I wanted more out of life, so I went on an epic journey from being overweight and unhappy to healthy and fulfilled and started to live with purpose and passion. My greatest discovery was that I am better than I thought I was, and so are you. I love shoving people off the cliff of possibility and watching them fly. Along with being a leadership coach and author, my proudest accomplishments include working with Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, competing in a Figure Competition, and renovating our first home. “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson When I’m not coaching, speaking, or writing, I can be found writing or lifting heavy things in the gym, as natural bodybuilding is my favorite hobby. I can be found tweeting starting at 4:30 am most mornings and would love to swap early morning, super caffeinated tweets with you.
