The good news with age is a level of certainty when disruption is happening.   Because I’ve weathered hard things and experienced the challenges that come with the pain of growth personally and professionally, I find I’m able to accept the pain with a grounded approach to weathering the turmoil.  I have peace in my heart… View Article

Conferences are great opportunities for learning, connecting, and growing. They’re also hard work.  I returned from the EOS Worldwide conference overfilled with action items and emotion.  What surfaced for me during the many terrific workshops was a mixed bag of internal turmoil and emotion.   I was overfull from great content certainly, and beyond that was… View Article

What if we all lived each day the way we want to be remembered?  What choices would you make differently?  Who would you include?  What would you do?  Where would you go?  How would you approach situations differently?  What would you focus on and how would you approach each situation?  Reminder: life isn’t a dress… View Article

Sitting With It #833

I’m a problem solver. When faced with a challenge, my natural tendency is to do something about it ASAP. It’s uncomfortable to sit with a challenge and not DO something about it.  I’ve conditioned myself to respond quickly and release the pressure of things not working or feel productive moving forward with progress of some… View Article

Are you kind to yourself?   Most leaders hold themselves to high standards. Often, they set a higher bar for themselves than for those around them.  It’s a curious thing.  Most of us could benefit from compassion for ourselves as well as extending it to others. Our ability to respect boundaries, set limits, and challenge ourselves… View Article

Simplification is power.  In our business, we’ve taken several runs at hiring a position and altered everything we could think of to do it well. It didn’t work.  What we failed to do was realize perhaps we need a different position! We actually have the talent to do what we thought we needed and will… View Article

Published on April 21, 2022 Written by

Life transitions. They’re messy.   As I embrace a disruptive period in my life right now, I’m realizing the practices I’ve had, the things that worked up until about six months ago and the experience I’ve had is no longer the same.  My health is important to me.
