The scene is in Punxsutawney, PA on Groundhog’s Day. Phil, a news reporter, is set to cover the big day. He’s in bed with the covers up to his neck. On the nightstand beside him, his master, the alarm clock, reads 5:59am. Phil is sleeping, and we wait for the clock to flip so that he can get out of bed.

The clock flips to 6:00am. Phil carries out the same morning routine as past mornings. He has the same breakfast. He sees the same people on the streets. He does the same job. Even Phil’s evening is a loop.

Then, he is back in bed in the very next morning, with the exact same scene, with his master at 5:59am, waiting to flip to 6:00am… So he can experience the same day, over and over and over.

 I have a cool title, Executive Self-Mastery Coach. I knew it was right when I felt that ‘click’ moment. It epitomizes everything I strive for in my own life, and what I teach. 

I’m not just a life or business coach. There is an incredible difference between self-mastery coaching and life and business coaching. Self-mastery coaching addresses life and business challenges as necessary, but life and business coaching do not bring self-mastery. I know it sounds complicated, but stick with me here. 

Technically I am a certified life coach, and I also hold an MBA and 20+ years of business leadership experience. I use all of these in my practice.
