From a Post-it Note to a Library

Nov 9, 2026 | Career, Communication, Leadership, Professional Development

Years ago at Microsoft, I kept a Post-it note on my computer. I often sat in contentious meetings with experts, the English major with the engineers. I couldn’t add technical expertise to the conversation. I could shift the tone and get us back on track with a well-placed powerful question, so I started writing those questions down to reuse. That Post-it became the first resource I wrote as a coach.

More short resources followed. Some grew from my own story. In Insights Discovery, I’m consistently green, the Supporter, and many people around me were red (Director) and blue (Observer). That led me to write a LinkedIn article encouraging people to boost what may be a lesser-used quality: acknowledgment. Others grew from client moments: a timeline exercise when work felt off, a way to give feedback that builds trust, a clearer message for a senior audience. For years, I’ve shared these resources 1:1 with the people I coach.

Now they’re available to everyone through the Expanded Focus Coaching Resources library. Each one is concise, reflective, and practical, ready to use the same day to lead with greater awareness, presence, and choice.

What You’ll Find

Explore the library in one of three ways:
