5 Minutes to a more Positive Year

  • On January 30, 2020
What is one small action I can take today to feel more joy in my life?   What is one tiny step I can take to move forward on my goals?   These are the two questions I ask myself every morning in 2020. The idea comes from a book I have started my year with, The Joy of Appreciative Living by Jacqueline Kelm.  2019 was a rough year for me, lots

Is Your Brain Feeling Foggy? Pack Your Bags!

  • On September 5, 2019
Are feeling in a rut? A bit too comfortable in your comfort zone? Finding it hard to get energized by work you used to love? Or struggling with too much on your plate? Time for a trip! I’m not talking about the same old beach house vacation (although that can be a great stress reliever

I’m Exhausted…and I Didn’t Even Do Anything

  • On May 21, 2018
I’m standing on the side of a winding country road near a vineyard with tiny green grape clusters reaching for the warm sun, yards from the entrance to a winery known for its excellent Zinfandels. But there will be no wine tasting for me today. This day is all about supporting my husband through Ironman

Is Our Stress Altering The Brain Cells Of Others?

  • On February 22, 2018
I was standing in line at my favorite coffee shop. The guy in front of me seemed to be having a bad start to his day. It’s not what he said, it’s how he said it. He ordered a coffee and croissant. “Ordered” being the operative word. Louder than necessary. Leaning with wide arms on

What The Brain Is Doing When We Get Feedback

  • On January 30, 2018
In the “6 Most Dreaded Words” we met David and Shauna, two consultants in a feedback discussion after a presentation. A discussion that is shaping up to be largely one-way (although Shauna is having a robust conversation in her head) and more defensive than effective. How can they have a more productive feedback conversation? Understanding what happens in the

The Charlie Brown Approach To New Year’s Resolutions

  • On January 11, 2018
Peppermint Patty: Have you made a New Year’s resolution, Chuck? Charlie Brown: Remember how I used to dread the whole year? Now I’m only going to dread one day at a time. —from A Charlie Brown Christmas Chuck is onto something. Hint: It’s not the dread. There is value in having big goals, long term goals. While the

The Art And Science Of Listening

  • On October 31, 2017
Great leaders listen. They don’t just hear, they actively listen. When you are talking with them, they make you feel like you are the only person in the world. Many of our interactions are transactional information exchanges, yet there are those times when it is time to go deeper than the casual exchange. That is

Courage In Everyday Life

  • On August 30, 2017
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.  — Nelson Mandela  I used to think that courage was some magical thing reserved for the Medal of Honor winner who runs into

Band-Aids And The Brain

  • On July 12, 2017
Rock. Paper. Scissors. Skin. Skin loses every time. As I was abruptly reminded when I suddenly found myself sprawled out, face down on a rocky trail in the Catoctin Mountains. Slowing rolling over, relieved that nothing seemed broken except my pride. I figure there will be some swollen knees from taking the brunt of the

How ‘Bout A Little Night (And Day) Music?

  • On June 27, 2017
Music can have a powerful impact on our ability to get things done, including focus and creativity. I attended the Kennedy Center’s Music and the Mind production last week, a fascinating collaboration between the National Symphony Orchestra and prominent neuroscientists. It enticed me to take a deeper dive into some of the research around music and the
