Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
There’s a crucial difference between repetition and routine. Repetition with renewed awareness is intentional – choosing again, fresh each time. Routine becomes autopilot, where we’re physically present but can be mentally elsewhere. We do things repeatedly in our daily work. The question isn’t whether we repeat – it’s how we show up when we do. […]

Let’s reconsider the word manipulation. Somewhere along the way, it became synonymous with scheming, controlling, being cunning and underhanded. But manipulation, at its core, is simply skillful handling. And there’s nothing inherently dark about that. Your yoga teacher manipulates your body into alignment, hands guiding your hips, adjusting your shoulders so you can breathe deeper, […]

Find a comfortable spot. Close your eyes if you’d like. First breath: Breathe in slowly through your nose for four counts. Hold for four counts. Feel gratitude filling your chest—for this day, this moment, your ability to choose. Breathe out pressure through your mouth for four counts. Let your shoulders drop. Second breath: Inhale peace […]

Jane Porges wrote a review of The Next Act for Amazon that reminded me, in a fresh way, why this work matters. Not because of the five stars—though I’m grateful—but because she understood something essential: this book isn’t about career tactics. It’s about “navigating your inner landscape.” She writes about “sifting through countless thoughts, ambitions, […]

We often treat evil as something “other people” do – monsters, sociopaths, the clearly broken. But that’s dangerously naive. Every human carries the capacity for cruelty, vindictiveness, self-serving harm. We all have the circuitry for it. The vital point isn’t whether we can do evil – we absolutely can. The point is: what are you […]

Before fighting for a seat at any table, ask yourself: whose table is this? We spend so much energy dreaming, planning, and trying to get invited, to be included, to prove we belong. But we rarely stop to examine whether that particular table serves our goals, reflects our values, or respects our integrity. Every table […]

A holiday isn’t just time off—it’s a day made sacred. Special. Set apart for what matters most. Whether Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, or simply a day of rest—it’s time made sacred by our intention. We honor what matters: gratitude, connection, peace. Today, we pause. We stop the hustle of proving our worth through productivity. We […]

I’ve been thinking about Marilyn Monroe in that iconic scene – “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” Unforgettable performance. Monroe commands that screen with charm and razor-sharp timing, surrounded by men in tuxedos offering jewels while she purrs about what really matters. She might be called a gold digger, but strip away the spectacle, and […]

A coaching client told me when a troublemaking manager quit at work, people stood up and sang “Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead.” Perfectly understandable and thrilling to learn about. The song is playful and deadly serious. Yesterday I wrote about the quiet triumph of discovering that we get along very well without someone – […]

The other day, I heard Carly Simon singing beautifully the 1938 song by Hoagy Carmichael called “I Get Along Without You Very Well”, and it got me thinking. Most people hear it as a lament – the brave face we wear after heartbreak, the lie we tell ourselves when someone leaves. But I hear something […]
