Feeling foggy, burned out, or stretched thin?

You’re not alone.

I’m building something to help you reset from burnout, reconnect to what matters most, and reclaim your clarity and momentum.

I’d love your voice in shaping it.

It’s a 2-min survey.

I sometimes get ahead how Head Start is doing.

For those interested, now is a time to take a small action in support.

When 47 goals meet 1 goal, who wins?

Gary has 47 goals this month. His neighbor Sarah? Just one: "Notice beauty daily."

Four weeks later, the results might surprise you.

I got to visit the actual home of the football team featured in the movie Remember the Titans this summer!

This was my #ThrowbackThursday post yesterday. What's yours?

Does it still count as a #Throwback if this is my first time posting it? 🤘🏽😆

Mr. Rogers x Queen. That's where my story starts.

Nine days until I tell it at UNFILTERED Gen3.

If you've ever been an underdog, this one's for you.

Life is hard. The world needs you to show up anyway, even if it's just for 5 minutes. Every day you choose hard, you're becoming your own champion.

What's YOUR 5-minute winning move? Drop it in the comments below.

Being your own hero means show up for YOU, even when it's tough.

Examples:
1. Ask for help - Bravely say "I need support"
2. Set a boundary - Say "no" to what friends are doing if it doesn't feel right to you
3. Keep trying - Fail, feel bad, but try again & not give up

Can you think of others?

This WINSday, I'm celebrating the upcoming session I'm facilitating, "Be Your Own Hero."

This time around it's a private event, but I'm considering doing a public version.

If you're interested in that, drop "HERO" in the comments.

Either way, what's your win today?

Coach John Robinson @mrjtrobinson.bsky.social · 15d

Sometimes the fog isn’t the problem — it’s the invitation.

When clarity comes, it doesn’t create the path.
It helps you see what’s been there all along.

🌫️ One breath. One pause. One step forward.

Uncertainty can drain your energy faster than you can recharge.

We help with this in my Mastermind.

One tip we've shared is Dr. Rebecca Kochenderfer's NNRR (Notice, Name, Relax, Release) tool:

Have a great week!

Coach John Robinson @mrjtrobinson.bsky.social · 17d

Sundays I pick my most important focus for the week.

Already wrapped my 1st: a new video on choosing hard, Tom Brady starting 7th string & what his path teaches us.

Next focus this week: getting ready for Sunday's "Be Your Own Hero" event.

What's your top priority this week?

Tom Brady started 7th-string. He chose hard.

Life is hard too. The world needs you to show up anyway, even if just for 5 minutes.

Here's why those 5 minutes matter more than you think.

Wow!

"Imagine a boat on the ocean that can move across the water at 20 km/hour. If the boat is headed away from you, that’s how fast you’ll see it moving. But now imagine the boat’s in a current moving at 30 km/hour away from you. You’d now measure..."

Kicking off the month with a new goal:
- help one business, nonprofit, or individual I haven’t worked with before
- fix leadership challenges that hold them back.

As a Leadership Consultant & Certified Facilitator, that’s my focus.

What does it mean to be your own hero?

I'll be exploring that with a group on October 12 and would love to hear your thoughts.

Coach John Robinson @mrjtrobinson.bsky.social · 24d

Sunday is a lovely day to watch the @detroitlionsnfl win & pick your weekly focus.

Ask, "What's the most important thing to take on in support of my dreams?"

I'm gearing up to do more to help businesses. Most everything comes down to leadership challenges, and I'm here to help!

What's your focus?

Coach John Robinson @mrjtrobinson.bsky.social · 26d

I’m shaping a new talk and one question keeps hitting me hard:

What if everything you thought about winning was wrong?

That’s the heart of the story I want to share. In the meantime, what does "winning" mean to you?

Coach John Robinson @mrjtrobinson.bsky.social · 28d

Have another speaking engagement!

This one will be late December.

In my grief group tonight, our facilitator asked, "What would you do if you knew you would not fail?"

Would you care to answer? 😀
