Have you ever said, “when I have/reach______________ I’ll be happy (or successful or better)”? If so, let me be the first to say there is no “there.” You’re delaying your joy until some external event happens. Denial of today’s happiness is a great price to pay for the temporary happiness tomorrow brings. The unspoken message… View Article
Our results are a product of what we do repeatedly; said another way, we are what we repeatedly do. The power of this statement is worthy. As I look at my business, relationships and life, it affords the opportunity to move. The question is, are you excited, proud and thrilled with more of the same?
How do you have your message received? In our sessions, it’s been common for me to remind leaders that people need to hear things seven times to hear it the first time. This is to ensure we’re repeating ourselves as leaders because we all hear things in our own way in our own time. When… View Article
What if… What if some of us are the trail blazers; willing to forge a path, push forward when it’s hard, and willing to see a course where there is none? Unwilling to bend or conform, strong, diplomatic enough to build bridges where there were walls, yet tough enough to make a door if the… View Article
Doing nothing is something. As a chronic doer, I’ve never been very comfortable doing nothing. I physically need to leave my home/environment to relax, or I’ll find at least a thousand things that need my attention. I understand this is a problem, undoing it is interesting.

Vacation. It’s been a lost art for me until this week. We’re on our first vacation in two years and it’s clear to me I’ve lost some skills to do it with ease. As I awakened this morning, a wonderful realization hit my psyche. I don’t have to be anywhere any time soon. What a… View Article

To lead often means you compartmentalize your insecurities to open a space for others to have confidence in an unprecedented… View Article
Valentine’s Day. Galentine’s Day. S.A.D. Day (Singles Awareness Day). It all commences on February 14th. It’s my friend Cindy’s favorite holiday, and it’s any other day as well. Despite its dark history, we know this day to be marked by flowers, chocolate, and trinkets expressing love for many. Hallmark reinterpreted it from the reinterpretation offered… View Article
When someone finds you, pay attention. In a noisy world, it’s easy to dismiss what could be an incredible connection, simply because we’re moving too fast and not present to what’s happening. However, when it’s meant to be (yess, I mean in that woo woo sort of way), you can’t avoid the connection. There is… View Article
