Good morning, stranger ✨


​View in browser

Unlike many others, my coaching journey didn’t begin in a classroom.

It began with dirt trails, sunrises, and unexpected clarity.

Back in South Africa, I started going for a walk every single day. One day turned into two… which turned into a habit… which turned into a non-negotiable.

Today marks Day 1888 of #walkingeverydamnday.

And while those walks once included giraffes, zebras, and the occasional wildebeest (yep, really), these days, my wildlife encounters look a little different.

In Canada, I’m more likely to come across dog walkers, early risers, and people deep in conversation with a friend or their podcast.

But one thing remains: the simple power of saying “Good morning”.

Sometimes that’s it. Just a smile. A nod.
But sometimes, that tiny moment opens a door.
A stranger stops. We chat. We walk a little further together.
And suddenly, the world feels just a bit more connected.

It reminds me of how safety used to mean don’t talk to strangers.
But growth? Growth often means talking to them anyway.

Coaching is rooted in those kinds of moments when someone chooses to connect. To open up. To walk together for a while.

And it can start with just two words: Good morning.

Your go-to this week 👇🏼

👣 This week, I invite you to try it: offer a genuine “good morning” to someone on your path.

Then hit reply and let me know what happened.

Sometimes the smallest connections hold the biggest impact.

Sending you love from Canada 🇨🇦

View in browser Hi Reader I'm sure that you can relate to the fact that some of the easiest conversations happen when you least expect them. Like sitting on an airplane, nowhere to go for a couple of hours. Years ago, when I was still living in South Africa, I flew from Cape Town to Nelspruit. An older gentleman was seated next to me. We exchanged the usual polite nods, but the conversation didn’t start until we were about to take off. I noticed he seemed a bit nervous. My curious self...

View in browser Hi Reader You might have seen it pass by on social media, but last week I was invited to lead a workshop for a summer leadership camp with high school students. (Yes, real teens. In real life. With real opinions.) And YES, it made me a bit nervous 😬 Theme? “How to stay sustainable as a future leader in a fast-paced world.” Let me tell you, it was awesome! Even though a few kids dozed off during the workshop. 😅 (And no, I didn’t take it personally. Testing authority of their...
