How can you professionally handle challenging mentees or coachees?
As my teacher told me: you can't want their success for them more than they want it for themselves. There's nothing wrong with saying, "Hey - it seems like you're just not that into this. Is that true?" Once you get the real story about why they are avoiding, deflecting or straight-up fighting you, it's easier to see the way forward, even if that means referring them out or ending the collaboration. Another question I've found useful is, "So, you seem pretty resistant to this process. What would you do right now if you were me?" If nothing else, that usually makes them laugh. And laughter is a great place to find truth.

How do you calm yourself before public speaking?
Remember: stage fright isn't a sign that you should not go on stage. It's a sign that you are ABOUT to go on stage. As an actor, we learn to recognize the butterflies as energy - neither good nor bad - and harness that energy as something to share with the audience. Oh - and keep breathing.

How do you balance time and energy for personal branding?
I don't think that personal branding needs to be exhausting or difficult. Personal branding is most fun when it is a reflection of your VALUES. When I stop thinking of it as being something personality-driven, and instead more values-driven, I find it easy to find ways to make all of my business interactions a reflection of my true self. (It's one of the great privileges of being the boss, right? That you get to do things YOUR way?) So I love exploring ways to make my accounting, my social media, my team meetings all be aligned with my values. That makes every aspect of my business more genuine, distinctive, and real.
