What Going Viral Feels Like (3 million views later)

Wow. I mean wow. In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, a 14-second film I made at the end of my coaching session last week went viral. We arenow at 3 million views and counting. What happened? I’ve been working with Tuffie Vos for a while, as she is a brilliant voiceover talent (among other things she’s […]
No effort = huge impact

Happy, happy Monday to you! I hope yours is off to a great start! Mine sure is, because the crowdfunding for my new book “100 Ways To Save Your Ass In English!” has now reached 14%.! I hope I can count on your support. My new book covers 100 different ways to do lots of […]
My new book is waiting for your arms!

My new book, “100 Ways To Save Your Ass In English” is now available for pre-order! I’m crowd funding it, just like I did my last book, because I want to keep costs low and work directly with and for my readers. My last crowd funding campaign was a huge success, thanks to your support, and […]
The 10 Things That Happen To Me Every Time I Write A Book (because I just did)

I did it. I just did it. (When I say ‘just’, I mean ‘just’ as in time – I just finished, as opposed to the ‘just’ which makes it seem like it was easy to do. It mostly wasn’t.) I just finished my 3rd book. I’m so proud. So relieved. So tired. And sooooo excited! […]
The Way To The Why

When I start with a new client or teach a new class, I usually start with how I see communication. I see it in lots of different ways but one of them shines through again and again. It’s a 3-layer picture. I suck at drawing, so let me show you with my words. The top, […]
Are you tired of your own story? He was.

Are you tired of your own story? My client was. He has been in the media a lot lately – on every major talk show and featured in several high-circulation print media as well as several radio interviews. His story is interesting, inspiring, and fascinating. But not to him. Not anymore. I asked him why. […]
Holding Hands Is Hard. And Worth It.

Holding hands is hard. And worth it. Yesterday was my son’s 11th birthday party. We had 13 boys over for sports cake (yeah, that’s a thing), and then we all went to an indoor soccer pitch where we spent the day (and when I say ‘we’, I mean ‘they’) playing a soccer match with a […]
Stop targeting losers. Please.

Well. It happened. AGAIN. I saw it on Twitter. “Hey, got nothing to do tonight? Come and see my band!” I cannot tell you how often I see this on social media. And how sad this makes me. Let’s really have a look at what this person is saying. “Hey.” Ok. I get that. Hey […]
Find it (it’s there) and share it

I’d like to start off with a quick question – where’s your light? What drives you? What’s the message you want to share with the world? And why aren’t you sharing it? I spent many hours yesterday mourning someone I love so much. He’s gone but his legacy will survive forever, especially now that he […]
We don’t want to hear the book on your head (or All About Pronunciation)
I’ve been in and out of the studio lately, coaching bands, singers, and rappers. It’s a big part of what I do, and I love watching the songs emerge and grow as we work together. A big part of that is pronunciation coaching. This is something I also train my clients on when they have […]
