What to do when the isolation is getting to be a lot during COVID-19

by Koren

I have several clients who are strong independant, intelligent women.  They are badass leaders in their professional lives. They support so many people, communities and help others rise up. They have created a life where they are not dependent on anyone. They have financial resources to take care of them. Many of them have chosen […]

You can’t give what you don’t have.

by Koren

MYTH: You can love others more than you love yourself. FACT: Your ability to love others is correlated to your ability to love yourself. Almost a decade ago I read this mind shattering fact in Brené Brown’s book The Gifts of Imperfection as I was preparing for my first interview with her. Her research showed […]

“It’s all on me!!!”

by Koren

"it's all on me!!!"

Lately I’ve noticed this voice in the back of my head. It’s been there a long time.  I just wasn’t aware of the message I was listening to. This voice likes me to believe “it’s all on me!!!!” It really doesn’t matter what “it” is. Before I became aware of this voice, I often acted […]

Don’t edit your thoughts, feelings + values to please someone else

by Koren

I seem to talk about this over + over + over again. While we have been culturally programmed to believe it’s nice to people please (AKA – approval whore) it is NOT. When you edit your thoughts, feelings + values to please someone else, you are not letting others get to know the real you. […]

Tap into the Wisdom Inside of you

by Koren

  How often are you seeking the wisdom of others? Of course I would be hypocritical if I told you … you’re not supposed to seek out others wisdom. As the host of the How She Really Does It podcast since 2006, I’ve done several hundred interviews with other people … seeking out their wisdom. […]

The path well worn

by Koren

Recently, I was hiking along the beautiful Amalfi Coast.  Actually, I was hiking alongside a cliff. There were lots of rocks and rubble. The interesting thing was that  the paths most walked were well-worn and also the most slippery + dangerous. This is a great metaphor for life. How often are the paths most walked […]

How to lead an effective meeting

by Koren

When you lead you want to be confident. For example, when you are leading a meeting … do it with confidence. Be confident: In yourself. In what you are going to deliver. In your ability to run the meeting. Then the meeting will be effective! But … you ask … how do you know the […]

Do you have permission to verbally vomit?

by Koren

You make a phone call. The other person answers (your friend, sister, mother, brother …). And … you dive right into all your problems and frustrations. You start verbally vomiting. It’s immediate. It follows when they say “hello.” You start talking right away.  Without cultivating a connection with “how are you? I’m going through a […]

Do good work + enjoy your personal life

by Koren

People often think life is an either/or. Either you sacrifice yourself at work to create the career you want … and your personal life struggles. Or you give up your career to have the family you want. While those are indeed two options, they aren’t the only options. Doing good work does NOT mean you […]

Focus on what you CAN do

by Koren

I can’t cook. I can’t get organized. I can’t write. Remind you of how you’ve been talking to yourself? Do you focus on what you can’t do instead of what you CAN do? How’s that working for you Are you stuck? Do you beat yourself up because you story fondle all the things you can’t […]
