From the Corner Office

Mel Robbins

Mel Robbins is the host of the hit radio show “Make It Happen with Mel Robbins” and one of the most sought-after life coaches in the country. She spoke to the Greater Boston Chamber’s Women’s Network about how to harness your own momentum to live the life you want.

1 On wanting to change: “At some point, every single one of us would like to change our life — or something about it. Maybe it’s a relationship that you’re not happy in. Maybe it’s a job you don’t like. Maybe it’s those 35 pounds of baby weight you’re carrying around, only you’re kid is 12 now. But for one reason or another, it just feels like you’re living a life you
didn’t sign up for.”

2 On life’s road blocks: “It’s not fear that stands in your way to making a change. It’s thinking too big. When you think way too big, the next thing you immediately see are all the obstacles. Drastic plans never work.” 

3 On the ‘subtle’ path to happiness: “Change is a lot easier than you think. Your life can change with an e-mail. Or with a phone call. You don’t need a cape. You don’t need to be a super hero. The mess that you got into happened because of subtle actions. And the same way you got there is the same way you can get out. Small changes in the right direction will lead you where you want to go.”
