Productivity & Career Coaching

My coaching combines strategic planning with time management and anti-procrastination techniques. This helps you, (1) clarify your goals and situation; (2) develop a plan for achieving the goals; and (3) overcome any fears and procrastination that may interfere with progress. I coach via telephone, so you can be located anywhere, and most clients see substantial improvement after just a few hours of work together.

Books

I am currently writing Secrets of the Prolific: How to Overcome Writer’s Block, Finish Your Projects and Enjoy Your Life. I am looking for manuscript reviewers, so if you would like to participate please email me.

My book The Lifelong Activist: How to Change the World Without Losing Your Way (Lantern Books, 2006) is a guide to living a joyful and productive life that includes a strong progressive mission. Topics include mission, time, fear and relationship management. Activists, artists, campaign workers, organizers, volunteers, students, teachers, human services workers, and entrepreneurs will all find it useful – especially those contemplating a career change, or who are at risk for burnout.
