Do You Have a Pebble In Your Shoe?

January 9th, 2024

Do you have a pebble in your shoe? Among other things, I’m a coach, leadership consultant, and adventure guide. For clients who are looking for something particularly epic and transformative, I offer an assortment of guided Epic Adventures in the wilderness.

When my clients and I are at the trailhead, with our backpacks on and ready to embark on our Epic Adventure, I’ll offer my first–and one of the most important–instructions. This instruction is a metaphor for one of the most important instructions we can apply to our our life, too.

This is one of the lessons I share in my keynote presentation, “Epic Lessons Learned in the Field,” and that I incorporate into my coaching, leadership development facilitation, and other programs. (To learn more about my presentation, coaching, and Epic programs, please email me at coach@yourepiclife.com. Thanks for watching!)

    “Pebble in my shoe”

    I just watched this and I am now sobbing. You hit the nail on the head! I’ve let things go for so long that I am stuck in the “ the more I hurt -the less I move, the less I move -the more I hurt”, repeat- cycle. I’ve never been givin the voice to speak up, it’s just not allowed… thank you for addressing this with the people you take on hikes, everyone should be able to speak about “the pebble in their shoe”. 🧡
    Blessing to you and yours.
    May you have many EPIC Adventures!

    Yes, we all have pebbles in our shoe. People need to speak up because we are not mind readers. Thanks for sharing!
