Intention and Process

 Instead of resolutions for the new year, set intentions and the processes to actualize those intentions.  Without putting processes in place to move toward these intentions, you have nothing but fanciful wishes.

Now Coach Rich, and Only Coach Rich

Today I start my first year as a full time coach. After 25 years as a college professor, and 15 years coaching academics as a side gig (not so side for a while), I now get to do what I love every day and focus only on that. I am so excited for this. No resolutions: just get to be best best-self. Bring it on, 2025. Thank you all for helping me make my dream come true.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼

Salsa Dancing and Failure

There are many reasons why I dance salsa. One is to fail. Yes, you read that correctly. I dance to fail.  When you partner dance, salsa in particular, you are going to make mistakes, several times a dance, no matter how good you are. Dancing salsa gives me a powerful opportunity to stay in process, let go of the results, and just be present. Sound familiar? The mindset and skills of making that happen are an essential part of my coaching academics on writing, being “productive” and being in the job.

Good morning, have a good writing session

 Happy Monday. I hope today you have a good writing session. What is a good writing session? One in which you stay in process, do not trash yourself with expectations and demands, don't try to "catch up", have a good entry,  focus on one sentence at a time, and write for a healthy, sustainable amount of time.

There is a lot more to it than that, or perhaps, there is not . 

Expanding My Coaching Practice

As I prepare to retire after 25 year as a college professor, I am expanding my coaching practice. For 14 years, I have helped academic thrive in ways they never thought possible. Let's have a complementary chat, even if you are only one percent interested. I love helping!

To Be Yourself

When you reach the limits of what is expected of you, you come to same dilemma: to be yourself.
