Use your anger to recover yourself.
My commitment is to encourage you to lead, yourself and others, by discovering, developing, and being yourself. Inviting you to see the movie “Women Talking” coupled with sharing Sonya Chemaly’s well-researched, conscious-raising Rage Becomes Her: The power of women’s anger does that in spades for me.

What’s that you felt & suppressed?
Self-awareness is essential whether you’re leading others or just yourself. Regardless of your gender, if you haven’t already, please, please, please watch Women Talking.

Books can’t give you experience
I adore books. My shelves are filled with titles that promise insights about leadership, coaching, human dynamics, strategy, compassion, values. After madly highlighting these work-related books in my effort to absorb their wisdom (and thus become wiser myself), I take a break and read fiction.
