We talk a lot about goals in Soldrevet Professional Coaching sessions. I thought I could share with you how I frame goals for myself. This post has three functions, at least. Share some internal thoughts for people who work with me in Soldrevet Professional Coaching Walking the walk, talking the talk: making goals open, transparent,Continue reading “Goals as living objects”

Soldrevet’s Ethics Statement
I want my philosophy of operating Soldrevet to be open and honest, even if I can’t share with you details about Soldrevet’s clients and customers. This morning I was inspired to write an Ethics Statement after reading a rather weak statement from another organization. I’m not an expert in writing formal, business-y documentation. Turns out,Continue reading “Soldrevet’s Ethics Statement”
Differential ski waxing
Today’s post is only superficially about the physics of waxing cross-country skis. In reality, I want to share with you how an inquisitive mentality spreads throughout all facets of life. Even if you’ve never been skiing, walked on snow, or cared about physics, I hope the inquisitive side of you will keep reading. Getting tractionContinue reading “Differential ski waxing”
How I celebrate 2020
Today is 2 January 2021 as I write. My intention with this post is to push back against the rising tide of shaming the year 2020. I want to share with you about the hopefulness that comes from transitioning to goals based instead on progress through a journey. While recognizing that I am fortunate toContinue reading “How I celebrate 2020”

Finding confidence by defining it
There’s a mountain foot race that, in normal years, I would’ve run about two weeks ago. It is both my first mountain race and the only race I’ve run twice. The course is set out something like a figure-8, with one mountain peak sitting at the intersection of the two circles and a second peakContinue reading “Finding confidence by defining it”
Don’t say “Be Patient”
There are a few conversations from years ago that hang on as clear memories. In general, I remember life in a fuzzy way and tend to recall generalities rather than specifics. I remember with clarity,however, being told “Be patient” by a supervisor who should’ve been my champion and not my adversary. This bout of weakContinue reading “Don’t say “Be Patient””
Self evaluation day
We have many ways that we experience evaluation. I judge myself, other people judge me. But, against what? Do the metrics that I apply to myself or that others apply to me make any sense? To measure me with a number may have a value, but that does not mean that it is valuable. ItContinue reading “Self evaluation day”
What’s the point
Today is another story about turning around before the end. But it’s more about making sure that I’m being inquisitive about why I do the things I do. The header photo here shows Eidetinden (Eide|tinden, isthmus pointy mountain) on the left. It’s our tallest mountain on Kjerringøy, topping out at about 1017 m above seaContinue reading “What’s the point”
