You're Not Lazy. You're Avoiding Something.
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

Procrastination isn't a character flaw. It's a signal worth exploring.

Summer has a way of making certain things more visible. The longer days, the slower pace, a rare exhale after a packed spring. And sometimes, sitting quietly in that space, the list appears. Not the work tasks. The other list. The one that hasn't moved in months.

What Kind of Overwhelmed Are You?
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

Naming your overwhelm is the first step toward making it smaller.

When I say I'm overwhelmed, it tends to be broad and non-specific, as if a big wave has knocked me down and I'm simply eager to find dry shoreline, rest, and catch my breath. Survival mode. It's an unpleasant and tense place to be, in both mind and body.

The Silent Treatment
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

Most of us have either given it or been on the receiving end of it. Silence. Tension precedes it, and it culminates in the silent treatment.

David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

This question gained serious traction with the male participants at our recent annual Love Retreat. I asked it simply: are you a man of your word? You'd think the answer would come easily. It doesn't.

You Don't Have a Boundaries Problem. You Have a Values Gap.
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

Boundaries without values are hollow constructions.

Most of us have heard it in therapy, in coaching, from a friend over coffee: "You need to set better boundaries." I've fumbled with this one myself and spent years exploring it, both personally and with clients.

When Everything Is Good and You're Still Waiting for It to Fall Apart

I've said it myself. I hear it from clients regularly. Everything is going well in relationships, family, business, and yet when describing what's good, many add reflexively: "But, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop."

Purpose Isn't One Thing. It Never Was.
David Stamation, Executive Life Coach

"I love it when you are in your purpose." Hearing that from my wife felt great.

Here's what was happening. I was getting ready for the season-opening track day organizing the road trip, booking a tech inspection at the shop and swapping brake pads in the garage. In the Pacific Northwest, all the tracks reopen in April after winter break. It's a decades-old passion of mine. And apparently it shows.
