Wrong number, Right conversation     

By Camille Smith / April 20, 2024

It takes me a while to toss out stuff – especially quotes, articles, and poems that could help me and my clients see a new possibility.  During a recent culling, I came across notes from a phone call. I hope in reading this you’ll remember a kindness you offered someone. Perhaps you thought it was…

Never-ending Season

By Camille Smith / November 27, 2023

Being thankful. It’s a choice. Not determined by the day. Not dependent on others. Not designed to get something. It’s a choice. To be above the fray. To be attuned to your heart. To be attentive to their heart.   Who or what are you thankful for? Who makes your life easier? What situation brings…

Use your anger to recover yourself.

By Camille Smith / April 18, 2023

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. Take 5 minutes to hear Chemaly speak about women’s…

What’s that you felt & suppressed?

By Camille Smith / March 17, 2023

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. Don’t watch it because it won Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2023 Academy Awards. Watch it for the timelessness and timeliness of the message. It stirred and disturbed me deeply. It…

By Camille Smith / February 7, 2023

News Flash: Chinese weather balloon hovering over Montana! When I heard this news, thoughts rushed in: If the Chinese didn’t mean for this weather balloon to be over Montana, if it was pulled off course by unusual weather patterns, why didn’t they contact the US when it crossed into US airspace and alert us?

IMHO IRL Crushes it!

By Camille Smith / October 2, 2020

If you are closer to 20 than 50, you probably read the title without any effort. If you are north of 50, you probably wondered if my spell checker is OTF (On The Fritz = out of order, malfunctioning). I just made OTF up. I doubt it will catch on. Even if you are north…

Why do you ask?

By Camille Smith / March 4, 2020

The question frames and shapes the answer. The question “How far away from home are you?” asks for the number of miles you will travel. The question “When will you get home?” asks for the time you’ll open your front door. Who asks the question also frames and  shapes the answer — if we are…
