The Vent & Victory Exercise

Let us know what you enjoy about the show! What if there was a simple way to let go of what's weighing on you—and make more room for what's going well? In this episode, I share one of my favorite coaching exercises: Vent & Victory. It begins with a vent—not to dwell on what's frustrating you, but to release it. There's a big difference between intentionally expressing what's bothering you in a supportive space and endlessly replaying it around the proverbial water cooler. One creates space. The other gives the frustration more energy. Then comes the victory. Not necessarily a monumental achievement, but a moment to recognize something that went well, something you overcame, or simply something you're proud of. When we intentionally bring our wins into focus, we begin to shift our attention toward what's working instead of only what's wrong. This is a simple practice you can do with a team, a partner, a friend—or all by yourself. Grab a piece of paper if you'd like to follow along, and give it a try. I'd love to hear what comes up for you. If you're enjoying the show, please subscribe, share it with someone who might benefit, and leave a review.
