Fear: The Call To Grow!!!

After months of no travel, life has been a whirl wind of activity and travel these past few months. I just came back from a business trip to Costa Rica, which was wonderful and yet, OMG, an adventure to put it mildly. The organizer, Linda Fisk, of LeadHERship Global, an amazing woman of immense skill and compassion, organized some activities…

How to overcome the stress of transition and growth
The Risk of Growth and Moving On Leadership

The Risk of Growth and Moving On

"You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water" ~Rabindranath Tagore Years ago I developed a Leadership Self-Assessment Tool. It addresses the 5 styles of leadership I have seen over the past 30 years. Creative Leader, Team, Supportive, Visionary, & Organizational Leaders.  Each has a unique set of skills, vulnerabilities and predispositions to particular diseases based…

Finding Comfort in Transition: A Pathway to Freedom, Energy, and Joy Transition

Finding Comfort in Transition: A Pathway to Freedom, Energy, and Joy

Having gone through many dramatically life-shifting transitions myself, I am fully aware that transition can feel like standing in the middle of a storm—unsteady, uncertain, and overwhelming. Yet, in my experience, it is also the moment when profound growth and freedom begin. You discover a self you never realized was in there and a lifestyle you may never have thought…

Transition as Transformation: Leading from a New Place of Power

"The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence—it is to act with yesterday's logic." – Peter Drucker In working with leaders who have had extraordinary success, who have frequently reached the top of their fields, yet who are now ready for a whole new stage in life, whether because they need/want new challenges or because life has…

The Gift Of Resilience Mindset

The Gift Of Resilience

Resilience is a trait many of us know about, some of us have developed, and still others may have discarded as useless or perhaps not an important or necessary skill. However, every one of us has gone through experiences that have knocked us on our butts. Whether personal or professional, divorce, job loss, bankruptcy, serious illness, or a forced major…

Claiming Every Stage of Life

This has been a week of supporting clients, and friends, in relishing the gift of the next stage of life. So many don’t have the opportunity of that experience. It truly is a blessing. Whether moving into marriage, or divorce, a job change, loss of a life partner, or retirement and opening a new business, there is a reason we…

The Many Sides of Vulnerability BlogLeadershipMindset

The Many Sides of Vulnerability

Even with the many books, articles, podcasts, and Ted talks, concerning vulnerability, for so many it is still seen as a fragile time, if not a weakness, to be hidden or protected from so that the “enemy” doesn’t jump when you are most incapable of protecting yourself. Rather, what if that concept, that understanding, was only one sad if not…

Dealing With Confrontation

Confrontation occurs in all relationships that have an investment in long-term connections. That sounds like a wild assertion, nonetheless, it is true. The greatest value is in seeing that confrontation is a glorious, even if at times uncomfortable, way to truly understand another person.   The first, and I believe most important, distinction is to separate the idea of conflict from…

State of Being

For many of us, there is a belief (or illusion) that when we are truly present our mood, energy, and focus is dependent upon, or greatly impacted by, the many interruptions, individuals, and circumstances that come our way on a moment-to-moment basis. I am here to say that is not at all the truth.  We are so powerful that every…
