Expanding Leadership and Purpose

For most of us who have been in leadership positions for decades, there is a cellular knowledge that we need to keep growing personally and professionally. Avoiding that reality results in apathetic or aggressive, will-based leadership. Although there are numerous ways to do so, may I suggest a specific avenue?  A perfect antidote, and one that expands our leadership as…

Happy 4th of July Weekend!

Summer has already begun with the unofficial beginning happening on Memorial Day. Late June makes it official and now here we are already in July with the first big bang, literally and figuratively, taking place. Stopping, taking a break, being with family and/or friends for days at a time and, for many, sneaking in some alone time as well, makes…

6 Steps For An Easier Transition

Someone called the other day, obviously in great distress. He asked me to tell him exactly what I did and how I worked. Because each client is in a very different place when they call, I cannot say that I always do this, this, & this. Is your company merging because you are buying another firm? Pragmatic steps of creating…

It was filled with laughter, music, an open bar, and…

An Ever-Evolving Journey

For decades I had that belief that “I can do it myself.” I valued my illusionary self-sufficiency while equating it with being strong, powerful, and independent.

A Long Holiday Weekend

This weekend, summer unofficially arises from the cold earth and skiing and already the rush is on. Boats in the water this weekend, cookouts planned, tourists on the highway heading to Cape Cod and/or Rhode Island beaches and life is coming back to the “normal” of summer traffic on the highway. Reminds me of an old saying: “God’s in His…

Letting The Boxes Go

I had an interesting series of conversations over the last few days, in Dallas, NYC, with potential clients, and with friends here In CT as well. The location soon became irrelevant, since one key point frequently showed up. When we choose to make major shifts in any one area of our life, that shift affects every other area in our…
