Going deeper into confidence
I talk about confidence a lot, which is good since I call myself a confidence coach. But what if we went a little deeper? Would that be okay with you? Let’s start with what confidence is NOT.

Know what (WHO) you’re FOR
I am for people – and I am for them one at a time. It’s really that simple. I don’t care if you are an anonymous person in a chat room, a cashier at a grocery store, a homeless man on the interstate ramp, a frazzled single mom, a rebellious teenager, a Fortune 500 CEO,…

The safest place to be in this world is in the fire with Jesus.
Let’s talk about fire today. Here’s some context about Daniel 3. King Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon, which had taken over Jerusalem. They had acquired all the Israelites, but the king had the bright idea to not let a good thing go to waste so he scoured the Israelites for the brightest Jews to…

Never give up.
Never. Give. Up. Five months ago, I was disappointed because my coach said made me take a break for a few days from the gym while I saw a cardiologist and had a few tests run. A few days turned into a few weeks. A few weeks turned into a few months. A few months…
