Turning Potential Into Results
Be the frig light
The light’s purpose is to illuminate what’s in the frig, not to bring attention to itself. Its function, its role in the system, is to make it easy for someone to see what’s present and what’s missing. We count on the light: On when the door’s open. Off when the door’s shut. The light is…

High Heel or Birkenstock?
If you’ve seen Barbie, the movie, you know the choice she made. (If you haven’t seen it yet and have seen Matrix, think: Blue or Red Pill?) Isn’t it always about our choices? No matter your role, title, gender, age, education, politics, religion – no matter the memberships you claim – our choices…

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

My Horse Teacher
In January, a friend said she was having fun volunteering to feed horses at a horse-assisted therapy center. I checked it out and, as they say, the rest is history. In February, I began the adventure of learning horse. (That sentence may not be grammatically correct, but it’s accurate, in my experience.) I also began…

Happy New You!
Recently I gifted myself with the Sunday NYTimes. I browse each section, dog-earing what to read, tossing the rest. The articles broaden my thinking, the images inspire me, the theater ads make me want to live in NY. A headline in the 12/5 edition stopped me cold: Matthew McConaughey on trying to become living art.…

Always learning
It keeps dawning on me that no matter what I’m doing, thinking or with whom I’m interacting, I’m learning, consciously or unconsciously. A question I’m now asking is: What am I learning? To challenge my thinking or argue that I’m right (again)? To argue my logic or listen from my heart? To hold my breath…

Bright Side of Burnout
On a break during a coaching session, this poster listing 101 Stress Relievers was on the bathroom wall. It has some great examples. You probably do some of them already. When my clients ask me how to reduce stress, we focus on 3 things: keeping our word, acting consistent with our values, and having compassion…

Bring On the New Year!
As we move into the New Year, the phrase “Out with the old, in with the new” comes to mind. While there are certainly things from 2019 that I want to leave behind, casting off the entirety of last year doesn’t suit me either. I choose a both/and approach: I reflect on what’s passed, choose…

Management & Leadership Skills: Have both, not either
One person wants to be a better manager. Another wants to be a better leader. Choosing to be “either” one “or” the other often leads to being neither. Google “management skills” and “leadership skills” and you are likely to see various sources displaying skills assigned primarily, even exclusively, to each role. Take a look at…
