  We all know that feeling—a knot in your stomach, a gnawing unease that disrupts sleep, sparks irritability, and clouds your mind with worry. Maybe it stems from a troubled relationship, financial strain, looming job insecurity, or even health concerns . Anthony J. D’Angelo offered a truth we often forget, "Listen to your intuition. It will tell you everything you need to know." This wisdom resonates deep within us all, especially during the gut-wrenching turmoil of a shaky economy, challenging relationships, health concerns or a difficult business decision. These situations cast a long shadow, stretching across our careers, health, finances, and personal lives, impacting loved ones and even our neighbors and communities. Talk about wreaking havoc on the pit of our stomachs. What Actually Causes this "Pit" Feeling? Obviously, our churning stomachs aren't causing the chaos in our lives; however, they may multiply our chaos, stress and anxiety. But our feelings a...

We often find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of activity, checking boxes on our to-do lists without ever truly reflecting on the impact of our actions. It’s easy to get lost in the hustle, only to realize at the end of the day that something is missing. Perhaps it's a sense of fulfillment, a spark of inspiration, or a clear direction. The secret to unlocking a more purposeful and productive life might lie in a simple yet powerful tool: positive questioning. I often find myself at my family's vacation home in Bonita Springs, Florida, surrounded by the beauty of the Gulf, reflecting on the principles that have guided my life and career. One of the most fundamental concepts is the power of asking. It was my father, the late David Peter Campe, who first instilled this idea in me. Decades ago, he pondered a simple yet profound question: How could he secure a piece of paradise in this area for generations to come? This wasn’t a wish or a dream; it was a deliberate inquiry that set t...

Industry coaching veteran Rich Campe of ProAdvisorCoach details the three dimensions of understanding needed to leverage change in motivating employees toward peak performance. In the business place, when it comes to improving employee performance, it’s not enough to know “what?” and “how?” It’s more important to know, “why?” And knowing “why?” is as simple as 1,2,3... dimensions that is. We are constantly making choices in our lives—choices based on the things we value.  From your spouse to your house, from your car to your cat, these choices are often different between us, and are usually made based on a spectrum of factors that may or may not be readily apparent to us.  You might say, that as individuals, we are “full of values.” The world, on the other hand, is “full of facts” which become the foundation for our values.  There would be no value if not for this real, tangible, factual world.  At first, this assigning of values may sound very arbitrary and ind...

Who do you find most rewarding to coach, in terms of their personality or goals? I'd be forced to put myself into a corner if I said it was one specific vertical. I would say it's more of an archetype of a person that I tend to work with.  The person that does well with me is leader who’s an overachiever and a recovering perfectionist...

Have you ever failed to do an update on your phone or computer, just to realize why the update was recommended? Glitches. Processing speeds. New features. We've all been in a spot with technology where the next best option is a reboot. Turn it off. Turn it back on. Hope for the best. And if the updates and reboots don't work, back to the factory settings we go.  Maybe that's one of the best approaches for when we feel stuck—a factory reset. Back to "just us," without all the extras. Back to our sweet spots, the things that make us us, taking action that's in alignment with our natural giftedness may be the easiest path to getting unstuck.  The key to getting "unstuck" is related to your Dominant Dimension  Each of us are one of the following: a relator, a doer or a thinker. We either lead with relationships, action-taking, or systematic thinking. If we know where we are most dominant, we can more quickly get unstuck by leaning further into that area....

I like working with high performers who want to maintain their excellence and push themselves beyond where they are. I’m also especially suited to working with executives in need of a “rescue”— maybe they’ve lost the trust of team, or had some moral missteps, or they’re feeling the strain from board members pressuring them out. I also enjoy working with an...
