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...

  Do you ever feel hesitant to go after big goals or dreams? Or unsure of your goals or how to achieve them? Wish there was a way to turn your wildest dreams into a tangible roadmap for success? What if I told you there's a simple, yet powerful, tool that can help you gain clarity of your dreams and bridge the gap between desire and achievement?  Design Your Dream Life with a Vision Board You've probably heard about Vision Boards, but maybe you've never used one... or even considered using one. Maybe you've heard a friend or co-working raving about theirs, or maybe you've come across somebody's Pinterest board. Maybe you've even scoffed at that friend about their Vision Board, doubting the power of something so basic and simple, writing it off as nothing more than some sort of "dream life collage."  But a Vision Board is more than that. It's so much more.  It's about turning your dreams into a roadmap for success—something to act as a const...

Have you ever gotten to the end of the day, feeling exhausted and, even more, feeling like you didn’t accomplish much outside of checking off your to-do list? Perhaps there was a flurry of activity, with you at the center, and yet, you couldn’t really recall anything you had done that was valuable, exciting, or even just interesting. On the other hand, can you recall a similarly long day, having worked the same number of hours, but coming home energized, excited about the work you're doing and the impact you're making, feeling like you could stay up all night, ready to tackle the projects that will be waiting for you the next day?  What’s the difference between these two situations? It might be something we at ProAdvisorCoach refer to as "the Sweet Spot"—the intersection of Purpose, Passion, and Profit.  Now, before you go off thinking that this is some kind of Willy Wonka style fairytale world where everyone can just magically do what they love all day, every day,...

With the help of his mother and a mentor named Jack Wilder, Campe discovered the MindScan, a tool that helped him identify his strengths and weaknesses in thinking. Through this newfound awareness, Campe was able to leverage his strengths and manage his weaknesses, ultimately achieving his goals of financial success and personal fulfillment.  

Achieving Balance in the "Diamond of Success" Tell us a bit about yourself. My name is Nick Davies and I'm a Tony Robbins trained coach with over 5,000 hours of coaching and counting. I grew up in England but I've lived on three continents in five locations.  I believe most of us leave our personal and business potential on the table and settle. I'm on a mission with ProAdvisorCoach to relieve the suffering that can bring.  What kind of clients get the most value out of your expertise?  I work with high achieving finance-focused male business owners who want to add zeros to their revenue without sacrificing family or health.  These men are doing well (making $300-$500k per year), successful on paper, but they’re stuck! They’ve maxed out where they are, they’re married and have young children, and they want to give back. But "working hard" that got them there isn't working to get them to the next level.  What do you want to be able to do for them?  F...

Photograph by Bradley Weber You have probably heard the quote by Socrates, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”  Perhaps what Socrates meant is... unless we examine our lives, we are doomed to live in our own patterns.  And what kind of life is it to live unaware? It could be argued that our greatest gift is our free will—our power to choose.  How much are we exercising this gift if we are not even aware of our choices? We call this "awareness"—our ability to recognize what is actually happening, to be present, and to exercise our free will. Based on the frequent estimation from research and popular articles, we know that the average human has over 60,000 thoughts every single day .  Think about that!  And how many of those do you think we are conscious of?  Spoiler alert... science projects as few as 10%! That means up to 90% of our thoughts each day happen without us even being aware of them! So it begs the question, "What can we do about this?" ...
