Most costly decisions begin with
an inaccurate understanding of the situation.

I help leaders understand what is actually happening before major decisions are made or
resources are invested in solving the wrong problem.

  • It’s a New Day

    Jumped into my car yesterday on my way to my regular coaching session with Sean, Sian and Maria at the Plant People and Patti LaBelle’s song started to play. For those of you who don’t know me well, I seldom listen to the radio. I have mixed CDS that I play in the car with…

  • Extending Grace to Others

    I have a hard time being patient with others. I guess you could say I was born with seeing the potential in others so for me it’s very difficult when I see people limiting themselves. This doesn’t mean that I have no weaknesses or present continuous challenges. I am far from fulfilling my own potential.…

  • Stop Telling People to Find/List their Passions

    It screws them up. Whenever we talk about finding something it means that we don’t have it and we need to go look for it.  It’s out  there somewhere and if we can only find it, then we can do something with it. The Future of HR: What’s next for the profession was the name of…

  • Relax and BE YOU

    Inspired by my daily morning reading from It’s Your Time by Joel Osteen, I wanted to share: Do not take for granted ANY of your gifts. Do not complain about those you wish you had! You have ALL you need to fulfill your purpose. It’s when we try to be SOMETHING or SOMEONE we’re NOT…

  • Funny Thing About Paychecks: They Generally Only Come When You’ve Completed Something

    But it’s difficult to get going when you’re mentally constipated. This is how I finally described my dreaded lurgy. Last week was a week where I was ON THE MOVE – in EVERY sense of that phrase. HA! I had things to do, people to see, lots going on and very little time within which…

  • WHO I AM Won’t Leave me Alone…

    I’m writing under pressure…sort of… What to write? What do people want to read? Most times I have no clue. I read a lot so I generally have tons of ideas circling about in my brain. I THINK a lot about my own issues and challenges but most times I push those to the back…

  • Excuses Are the Poison of Low Performance.

    Get a degree, work hard, and success will automatically follow. This is the success map that we are all given. Has anyone noticed that it’s broken? Business Strategist, popular speaker and ultra-runner Dan Waldschmidt refuses to accept business as usual. He says that this success map represents a model that is a false promise and…

    Starting with your own. We’ve just celebrated Mother’s Day – a day many businesses look forward to as they offer gift ideas and services suitable for Mom. Marketing gurus usually advise that business owners need to look at any upcoming year in advance and PLAN in particular for celebrated days such as Mother’s Day and…

  • There Are No Guarantees

    I spend quite a bit of time in my head – trying to figure things out. I love structure. I want the comfort of knowing that once I follow the RIGHT steps or the PRESCRIBED steps of those who went before that I would arrive safely at my intended destination, sans surprises! Needless to say…

  • On Being Seen

    I’m so happy I kept this note. I believe it was actually a response to something I wrote. My sister Melanie is wise beyond her years…. I am an actress and no matter how many times I go out on stage, to perform or teach, I feel that knot of nervousness twisting in my stomach.…
