Well, I did it.   Thank you Seth Godin for the challenge I didn’t know I needed.   The journey has been filled with a range of emotions, pushing through the days I didn’t feel like it, becoming a better observer, and learning I can do whatever I set my mind to.  I didn’t sell out to… View Article

Amplifying Success #999 

Published on December 22, 2022 Written by

Keeping your word is a superpower.  As I work with clients and observe those who are most successful in terms of people (culture), purpose (finding meaning in their work), and profit (being compensated appropriately), is that they have a superior commitment to doing what they say.  This sounds so simple.  It is, and it’s rare. … View Article

Published on December 20, 2022 Written by

I was in a preparing for a podcast with Barbara Archer yesterday and she summed up a point we were making by saying “when your world gets smaller, your problems get bigger.”  What a profound statement.   It proves true for me – and everyone I know.  When we shrink our lives to reduce the likelihood… View Article

Published on December 19, 2022 Written by

I’ve been traveling again, which offers the gift of serendipitous intersections.  I had the great fortune of sitting next to Ashley, who asked me about my reMarkable2 (favorite device ever – and they didn’t pay me to say that!) and we were off to the races.  I’m typically the passenger who keeps to themselves, putting… View Article

During the holidays, I can get swept up in the busyness of the season along with the busyness of my work.

I’m reading a great book, it’s not for everyone, but the excerpt below referencing exercise might be.    When I think of exercise, it’s been my stress management and empowerment for years.

It Just Keeps Getting Better #993 (7 to 1000) 

Published on December 14, 2022 Written by

It’s been an inspiring year with my clients.   Perhaps it’s been the richness of seeing so many of them moving gracefully into their EOS lives (doing work they love, with people they love, making a huge difference, being compensated appropriately, with time left for other passions).   It’s been a time of profound gratitude while partnering… View Article
