When SAY and DO Don’t Line Up

On March 5, 2021

I once worked with a leader who had gotten feedback that her team felt she didn’t have trust in them; she tended to steamroll her own solutions without listening to their inputs. While the solutions she came up with generally worked, the rest of the team felt disconnected with the outcome. Over time they clammed

Yes, I Want to See Your Messy Living Room!

On May 27, 2020

Authentic and Genuine. That is what I will miss. When/if things ever go back to what we used to think was “normal” just a few months ago, back when Corona was only a beer. 

How Do You “Sharpen Your Saw?”

On July 11, 2019

While I’m all for hunkering down with a good novel to lose myself in someone else’s story for a while, I also seek out books that “sharpen my saw” (as 7 Habits author Stephen Covey would say), to read something that makes me question what I thought I knew or fills in some blanks on what I don’t know. I just read a book that definitely cut a few more sharp notches in

Chopsticks and Change

On May 9, 2019

I found this wooden box of beautiful silver chopsticks and soup spoons. I have two sets of them; place setting for 24. They’ve been buried in the back of a cabinet for years. Now that we are moving, I am discovering all kinds of long-lost treasures like this. These were given to me as a

What Do You Love About YOU?

On February 14, 2019

What do I love about me? That’s the question we were asked to envision for our morning yoga practice. As I laid there on the mat, with my arms wrapped around my torso like I’m giving myself a big hug (a great stretch to warm up the thoracic spine), not a darn thing came to

Do You Know Who’s Cleaning Your Office?

On October 16, 2018

Do you know who processes your travel reimbursements, cleans your floors, empties your trash, guards the building? If these people are not directly interacting with you in your job, chances are you don’t. As we used to say in the Army, there’s the pointy tip of the spear…but it doesn’t fly alone. The pointy tip

Who’d You Bring to the Dance?

On October 4, 2018

I’m a bit of a Dancing With the Stars junkie and this season features its first blind competitor, paralympian Danelle Umstead. She is paired with professional dancer Artem Chigvintse. The job of Artem and the other pros on the show is to train non-dancers to dance. Their role is to design an experience which stretches their partner’s

What’s the Forecast?

It’s Not About You…It Really is About Me

On August 2, 2018

I am getting ready to plunk down a significant amount of money for a major purchase. I need to feel confident this is a good fit for me. Distractingly, the sales person I am working with spent more time spinning their own tale about the purchase than with how well the purchase fit me. This

Up, Down, and All Around—Trolley Cars and Leadership

On June 12, 2018

I’m in Lisbon for a month, feeling what it’s like to live in a neighborhood (Santos-o-Velho), explore new sights in a new culture, and continue my work. One big thing I’ve noticed about Lisbon is you must look up, down and sideways if you are really going to take in the beauty of the city…and
