My BIG Reveals!

Happy UpsyDaisyDay!

I have JUST learned that today IS in fact UpsyDaisyDay and I invite you to participate in the spirit of the day with gratitude or a quick encouragement to someone in your world who could use an UpsyDaisy!

Big Reveal #1

My very first TedX Talk is a wrap! I'm still pinching myself...

If you know anything about Enneagram 1's, it would be no surprise that I've spent m a n y hours, weeks, months - and with wholehearted transparency- some second thoughts and "what was I thinking's?" in preparation for this past Tuesday's inaugural Johnson City TedX event! Truth be told, Edna and I churned out LOTS of drafts for this big opportunity which illuminated my own "in process" growth edges in big ways too!

I had the privilege (and extra anxious anticipation) of speaking last - but the audience was lovely and engaged.

AND speaking of Edna, the TedX audience got to meet her! Many of you have attended workshops with me and you know I've named my inner critic, Edna. Well, as you can see below, her persona has been realized!

Big Reveal #2

It is LAUNCH WEEK for High Places this week!

First TedX, Edna, AND NOW I invite you to check out my beautiful new website: www.yourhighestplace.com designed and built by the incredibly talented Seth Hice. We have MORE pages and resources in development so stay tuned for those - but take a click around and check out my new look!

MY Gratitude

So many friends graciously supported my TedX preparations (and freak-outs!) with their encouragement and their own incredible professional superpowers. These are some lovely cheers I'm still savoring:

A picture of a page from a book with a checklist of "things that bother you that you wish you didn't" after which you tally your "I don't give a ___!" score. (MV, this was so perfect!)
"Just get out of your way, friend"
"It's all coming together" and hours of feedback coaching/video review
Brilliant ideas for where to put my emergency notes and stage blocking tips!
"You tell that inner critic who's boss!"
"I can't wait to hear this! I bought a ticket and got a babysitter!"
And encouragement and 'thinking of you' texts up to minutes before the event... every single one was such a gift!

TAKEAWAY: While I fall into the trap myself believing that I can just fly solo most of the time, I cannot. Part of my growth stretch has been realizing this all over again!

Stay Tuned!

Many of you have asked when you can see the TedX talk- I'm not sure :) BUT I will keep you posted RIGHT HERE!

In the meantime, to YOUR Highest and YOUR Truest and YOUR Wholehearted Today,

Hi Reader, I wanted to send a note in case you missed the incredible opportunity I shared last month to support women in healthcare leadership in developing nations with your tax deductible end-of-year gift. I have not previously shared with our Trek Tribe that I heartily donate a significant amount of my time and resources annually to not-for-profit organizations aligned with my mission. This project involves significantly more expense with travel and materials -AND- I would love to partner...

Hi Reader, Have you ever found yourself at a complete impasse? Stuck, trapped, spiraling and unable to move forward? Maybe you're in one now! In a nutshell, I call it the stuck. yuck. and it feels something like this... golf bunker Or maybe this... trapped chickens A few weeks ago a coaching client arrived for her last session of her coaching intensive ("Dr. Natalie Boot Camp" as some fondly -I think!) refer to it...) As she shared take-aways and actions steps, with a new twinkle in her eyes...
