One for All and All for One

leadership and team effectiveness
9/11/2001. I was supposed to be at the Pentagon that day. Just an hour before I had planned on leaving my building, I was pulled into another meeting. I remember walking into the conference room, as the first plane hit the Twin Towers. We thought it was an accident. We soon learned differently. Throughout my…

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

Inspiring Stories
*It’s the first week of 4th grade and it’s my turn to stand in front of the room. Deciding what to share about my escapades of the last two months was a lot of pressure!

Ouch, It Hurts to Learn Publicly

growth and learning
Sometimes, it can be embarrassing to learn and grow in front of others. I’ve heard this from many top executives in my career. When you get to the top, you’re considered super-human, right?!

Almost every time when my husband and I go out and someone overhears us talking, they say “You’ve got a great voice!” And he does. In fact, his side gig of doing voice work professionally started many years ago when those exact words came from someone who was looking for a live show announcer. It…

I’d Be Lion If I Said It Was Courage

I’ve always had a passion for adventure. I haven’t always, however, been courageous. I’m deathly afraid of heights, and yet I embarked on a climb to the top of Sigiriya Rock, a massive fortress standing nearly 660 feet high in the center of Sri Lanka. Centuries ago, King Kashyapa built his palace on its top.…

What You Think Matters

what you think matters
Mental Models is a trending term right now. More and more folks are recognizing just how powerful our brains are as neuroscience makes new discoveries daily. I was a skeptic until I found myself in the most stressful job of my career, with a boss who had an extremely high achievement bar and no social…

Let’s Be Clear …

strength and priorities
Whenever I go out to eat, I always ask the individual who is serving our table his/her name. It’s a way of creating some connection (one of my top values). And I’m often amazed at what happens with one simple question. When dining with some friends recently, an engaging person greeted us when we sat…

It Takes a Village

I’m often asked why I decided to become a professional coach and leadership consultant; especially since I never held an HR role during my corporate career. (Most people assume coaches have extensive HR backgrounds.) The fact is I loved what I was doing. I had opportunities to fix, change and create processes and systems for…
