‘Turns Out, It’s Crazy What Women Are Capable Of’

Uttered by Commander Lawrence in The Handmaid’s Tale, season six. I can imagine as they filmed that line, how wry a moment it must have been at the time of the series.

I've recently been reflecting of my accomplishments. Frankly it’s crazy what I have been capable of.  I’m a bit astonished at what I’ve been able to do, from that scared 19-year-old who walked in to a radio station for a job as a secretary to this mature 65-year-old leadership facilitator at a Fortune 100 company.

Life has a way of surprising and delighting us, and my story is a testament to that. I've faced challenges head-on, turning them into opportunities for growth and success. Each step I've taken has led me to this incredible place where I am today, a place of accomplishment and pride, and joy.

My resilience, determination, and hard work have paid off in ways I could not have imagined. As I celebrate this milestone birthday, I am appreciating all that I've experienced and done, recognizing the strength and perseverance that have brought me here. And of course, the people who have cheered me on along the way. 

Try this ONE thing

You too need to celebrate your achievements and continue to embrace the surprises that life has in store. Keep moving forward with confidence, knowing you’ve already accomplished so much and it’s crazy what else you are capable of.

Want to experience coaching? I like to start with a deep, get-to-know-you conversation to see if we are right for each other. Sometimes we talk for one or two hours at no charge. I have no goal except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, the fears of the power you perceive to be outside yourself. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.

The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
