Colene Elridge — known to many as Coach Colene — is a speaker, writer, and success coach on a mission to help people and organizations create better work and better lives. She and I met 10 years ago at a conference we both spoke at, and have been good friends ever since. Our conversation was a blast!
PEBBLE
Colene's Monday Morning Pep Talks are in the same vein as Ripples, and I'm telling you, they are awesome! They are the only other weekly email that I consistently save nuggets from! You can sign up for them at her website.

Her book is pretty awesome, too: Read This When...: Pep Talks For When You're (Barely) Holding It Together

Here’s the question that Colene spends 45-ish minutes journaling each quarter:
“If I were my Best, Most Empowered, Happiest Self, what would I be doing?”
PONDER:
She mentioned two books that have had a profound impact: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, and Sharon Creech's Walk Two Moons
We also talked about the Just Record app for iPhone/Apple Watch/MacOS. (Yes, it's $4.99. Yes, it's worth it!)
Here are the conversations decks that I pulled questions from:
Holstee Reflection Cards
Basecamp Cards (apparently no longer available)
