Au revoir social media, bonjour headspace (and supermarket styling!)

Bonjour! I hope this finds you well. I’m writing this with the biggest smile on my face, overlooking Lake Geneva, on the Swiss/French border. I’ve been here a week. It’s been magical.

How to fail. It’s harder than you think.

Hi, Last week I announced my newest course, Rock That Mouth! I spent nearly 3 years working on it. Starting with an idea in my heart. Then it became an idea in my head. Then it moved to my screen. Then it moved to the screens of my team. And now it’s on thousands of […]

Which sounds better?

Howdy! Which style works better? ‘Also, we give our clients great service when they buy something.’ or ‘In addition, we provide our clients with the very best in customer service upon purchasing our products.’ Can you feel a difference between these 2 statements? The first is more informal and direct, and the second one is […]

I don’t want you to do this…..

Happy Monday! Want to hear what I don’t want to hear as a coach? I’m 100% prepared for my talk!’ This makes my coach heart nervous. I’ll tell you why…. I don’t want you to be 100% prepared. Ever. You know why? Because life will throw you a curve ball. Someone is going to sneeze […]

I get coaching requests every day. But this one was different…..

I get coaching requests every day. But this one was different. Hi Buffi, I know you mainly focus on English language related courses, but I was wondering if you have some tips and tricks for my daughter …. She is 7 and is about to have her first public speaking appearance in Dutch (I know […]
