Coaching is quite intuitive. My approach has been very helpful to my clients, but it took me a while to figure out what I was actually doing. Then, I was able to explain it in writing, which was immensely satisfying. And once I’ve explained something clearly, I can give the article to clients and students to supplement what I tell them. My articles have become a v useful tool for learning. And I have so much fun making some of this heavy material a bit light hearted. I also find it satisfying to choose just the right graphic to enhance the writing.

CR: Yes, I’ve noticed all the humor you tuck into the articles. What have you learned from writing the blog all these years?

LS: I didn’t realize how much I love the whole process of writing. I’m much more confident about my writing now and trust that what I write will, with editing, turn out ok. And I’m immensely gratified that people learn from and resonate with my blog.

CR: What’s next for you?

LS: I’m definitely going to continue writing the blog articles. I’m also starting to write a book based on the blog.

CS: That sounds great. And you’ve already done most of the writing for that particular book. Keep me posted, as it were.

LS: Thank you so much.
