Welcome to Ask Coach Tony!
Ask Coach Tony is where I share unfiltered field notes from the goal-crushing life. These posts capture lessons from coaching clients, my own breakthroughs, and plenty of failures along the way. All real, all useful, all designed to help you find the courage to commit to your goals and the tools to crush them.
My over-active sense of self-awareness told me this habit was polarizing… maybe even annoying. Was it time to change? Time to grow up and tone it down?

It’s a reminder every high-achiever and people-pleaser should hear too.

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right but still ending up frustrated?
There’s one sneaky habit that quietly sabotages your progress, motivation, and happiness…. and you’re probably doing it right now without even realizing. In this post, I’m unpacking what it is, how it messes with your mindset, and four simple shifts you can make to escape the trap.
If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start making real progress, this one’s for you.
1. Coaching Intake: before our first session, you will complete a brief questionnaire to help us focus our efforts.
2. Session #1 – Goal Project Kick-off: we will discuss your vision & begin to narrow our focus to the 1-2 priority goals.
3. Session #2 – Goal Project Charter: we will finalize your goal project “charter,” commit to your goal & start building your roadmap.
4. Session #3 – Goal Project Roadmap: we will finalize your roadmap to success, including your “wills” and “won’ts.”
5. Sprinting To Success: we will work together to execute your roadmap in 2-week cycles called “sprints.” During these sprints, we will meet biweekly to review progress and plan the next sprint.
6. Final Coaching Session – Goal Project Wrap-up: once you have reached your goal, we will meet to celebrate your wins, review what you’ve learned & commit to your plan to keep the changes alive.
