Hold That Thought…
This week I've not rallied around a particular theme*, but I have found three things united by their usefulness in turning overthinking into expert thinking:
- A list of things that are not doing the thing by Strangest Loop
- “The persistent are like boats whose engines can't be throttled back. The obstinate are like boats whose rudders can't be turned.” — Paul Graham on The Right Kind of Stubborn
- The most useful business (and life) coaching advice I've received in the past five years: Maybe it's for them to find out
For this week's underthinking link, check out Chicken Town. Bonus: Clickens! (warning: mild thinking involved)
Extra thoughts…
As promised last week, once per season I offer a low-to-no-cost coaching offer. This Spring, I'm trying out pay-what-you-want sessions. If you've been curious about what you can achieve in a 30-minute conversation, this is your chance to find out
It's an easy way for you to experience a different type of conversation — entirely focused on getting you closer to an answer to whatever question you bring. And it's a fun opportunity for me to try something new; I'm usually testing out a new format, technique, or approach.
This time, I'm using my Spring offer to hone my coaching skills — I'm working on my next level of professional certification with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). So, while I'm supporting you, you're supporting me, too!
This also means that these pay-what-you-want sessions will be PURE coaching — none of my usual extras where I switch hats and offer UX consulting, business mentoring and other advice. Also, no Miro boards and other tools. Just a thought-provoking conversation that moves you forward:
Can't wait to meet with you.
Kim
*But you could say I chickened out.

As always, gems and other finds here:
Hope you enjoy these things as much as I do creating and sharing them!
