Long strategy sessions energize me, especially when they’re held offsite at a gorgeous country location, with sunshine pouring in and a great business is being born. But it’s the linking arms with visionary entrepreneurs that truly makes my work exciting and fulfilling… All-day or even half-day client meetings happen enough that I have a checklist…

What a sweet way for my forever love to arrive home. With “just because” roses that he couldn’t resist because of their firey and surprising beauty that resemble a vibrant and enduring flame. We’ve been together for 17 years and married for almost that long, but the last 9 have been the most rewarding, most…

These two😍!! Each time I leave my parent’s home in Central Oregon I have a moment. Driving down to the main highway I want to turn around and hug them again. Every. Time. Because as I’ve gotten older (and wiser) I realize I am who I am because of them and life is too short…

Listening to our body and giving it what it needs is so important. I have always been a morning person enjoying coffee and breakfast and bird chirps while the sun rises. Then 2020 hit and I had to start listening differently. Now it’s become easier to hear and I’ve created habits that are personally better…

Out of the woodwork and just like clockwork, all of Propel’s “quiet holiday” clients have re-emerged this week ready to take 2022 by the horns. Everyone seems to be motivated to hit the ground running, which makes me wonder what the year will bring… As I’ve been catching-up with each of client and team member…

None of us ever know what lies ahead for us, our loved ones, our business, work, communities, or the world, that’s true. But one thing we can trust is there is more to life, more of life, more laughter, lessons, love, and challenges. There is more today and in the future. So, when the current…

To you and yours, I and the entire Propel team wish you a very merry Christmas! If holidays are difficult for you, know that you are loved. Our people are all about people, which makes you a priority. May this season bring you joy like you’ve seldom or never known, and may the warmth of…

Maybe for you it is playing games with family, curling up with an oversized sweater and a good book, or sipping a hot beverage after a day on the slopes with friends. No matter what your idea of winter comfort includes, make sure your season of cozy is living up to your own hype. For…

Entrepreneurs!! You deserve more credit than you receive – guaranteed. You work all day, many nights, when you’re sick, and even when you want to play. When the world is off vacationing you’re still thinking, scheming, planning, building. I salute you! You deserve a break, some self-care, time to recharge and reset. Over the years…

The Propel branding process was one of the most fun I’ve had creating something. When the word and name propel came to the surface and passed all the tests I didn’t know how many people would call me The Propeller for years to come… After a decade, in 2019, I finally went for it and…
