We Have A Voice That Needs To Be Heard

For those of you who are here in the states, we have been inundated for the last several months about the need to get out to vote.  Unfortunately, It is rare when we actually simply hear what someone honestly believes in. What they would die for. We hear more about how bad the opposition is. It supports the concept of…

IT’S DONE!!!

Have you ever had a project you have talked about for close to 3 years because you knew it was needed, and you wanted to do it, but so many other projects or life got in the way? Well, I am fully aware that if I had 100% committed to it I would have done it 3 years ago. I…

Looking Back in Order to Look Forward

Last week was a trip down memory lane. One afternoon I traveled to Boston to have a reunion with my high school classmates for the second time since graduation. St. Augustine’s was a 4 room, all girls, high school in the inner city. An unaccredited high school I was told, after the fact, which did not allow me to go…

“I am not paying you to think, just do your job”

I remember years ago someone telling me, “I am not paying you to think, just do your job.” That clearly did not go over well. I didn’t remain there much longer. It was clearly a bad mix. Now, as someone who has been an entrepreneur for decades, founding four companies along the way, I am well aware that the need…

A Philosophy of Leadership and Innovation

In our personal lives we have an option, however limiting certain choices can be, to decide whether to innovate, to keep up with the latest everything, or not. I don’t necessarily need or want to have all the latest things; sometimes old things work quite well. When I sit in a friend’s brand-new car, I may be impressed with the…

A Friend of Mine Died This Week

A friend of mine died this week. I was shocked since she was so full of life and yet I know life is taking more and more folks I know, friends’ parents, friends themselves, even sadly, friends’ children. What her death caused me to do, however, was to stop and assess. I have been spending so much time lately looking…

The Power of Purpose in Business and in Life

Today on our Podcast, Truth and Double Daring with Dottie and Diane, we had an amazing guest. Patrice Tanaka, who I happened to have met 2 weeks ago in NYC at her birthday party of all places. I was so completely impressed with her that I asked her immediately after to be a guest on our show. As any good…

Purpose or No?

Have you noticed that when you grow it feels as if you bring in people and organizations who seem to have been waiting for you to reach the new level? They don’t say it, but you now realize “I belong here.” And you are then warmly welcomed into a new world… I have been speaking, writing, and working with others…

The Choices We Make

When you have a business that has transitioned numerous times, and each business stage calls out different aspects of who you are, it can be easy to forget what your initial soul-longings really were. In beginning my career, in what feels like a hundred years ago, my objective as a psychotherapist was to support and guide people in becoming everything…

Working Your Purpose

As one who keeps up daily with what is happening in the world of business coaching, consulting, and corporate success, I am dutifully impressed with the increasing talk of emotional intelligence, living or purpose, purpose-driven organizations, and so much more. Although it certainly is still not “the rage” value-driven work is gaining ground. It begins with a company discovering its…
