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.

Let’s make something powerful!

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 · 10d

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:

Follow for more reflections on clarity, self-compassion, and grounded action.

Have a great week!

Coach John Robinson @mrjtrobinson.bsky.social · 12d

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.

Know someone who could use fresh eyes? Let’s connect.

Coach John Robinson @mrjtrobinson.bsky.social · 18d

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 · 19d

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 · 21d

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 · 23d

Have another speaking engagement!

This one will be late December.

#WINSday

Coach John Robinson @mrjtrobinson.bsky.social · 25d

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

Would you care to answer? 😀

This #WINSday, I'm celebrating having submitted my latest article!

Here's a teaser: What does “Those who stay will be champions” mean to you?

My article will be coming out on or around Oct 1!

Just got off stage after speaking to 300 people, vulnerable in ways I'm not usually.

Preparing for that was intense. What helped?

Asking myself: "What's one of the most important things I can do right now?"

Every time I felt stuck or overwhelmed, this question gave me clarity and my next step.

Sometimes life feels like trying to dance in the fog... you know the music’s there, but you can’t quite find your groove.

That’s where I come in. I help leaders and groups clear the haze, find the rhythm, and step forward with clarity and confidence.

Need a partner in that? Let’s talk.

Been refining a burnout recovery offer all week and would love to know...

When you're burned out, what hits hardest?

1.) Foggy focus/can't think clearly
2.) Constant stress/always "on"
3.) Questioning if you're on the right path
4.) Energy crashes/running on empty
5.) Other (comment below)
