When a word keeps appearing over and over again – PAY ATTENTION!
Growing up we would hear stories about bad things happen in ‘threes’. So if someone had two bad experiences they would be on the lookout for bad experience number three, before the tides turned in their favor. What I want to share is something slightly different. I’ve observed that whenever I must pay attention to…

The Burden of Greatness
When artists create masterpieces and bestsellers, they feel an unrealistic expectation to repeat the miraculous. The same is true for many high-achieving women. This obsessive pursuit can lead to great accomplishments. It can also lead to frustration, exhaustion and a disconnection from ourselves and our emotions. No doubt this has an effect on our relationships…

Igniting the Spirit
Some of the best Oprah shows have been the ones when she gives away “wildest dream” gifts. Not because of the gifts themselves although the gifts are always great. But because I often think about how locked in I am emotionally when the giving takes place. How deeply I feel the power of the moment.…

Do you have a high performing team or a group of high performers?
We’ve heard the acronym before that T-E-A-M means “Together Everyone Achieves More.” The most important word there would be TOGETHER. Team is a word that gets tagged onto other words like work and mate to communicate togetherness, the spirit of the team is described as if describing the spirit of the whole – yet how…

I am rich and didn’t know it!
I did not win the Lotto and my rich uncle did not die and leave me all his money. I’ve been really blessed with great friends. Each friend has a story to tell about how we met and many would claim that “they know me long time” (said with a trini accent of course! :))…

Sticks and Stones and Words do Hurt…
I love this quote by Will Rogers – “Live so that you wouldn’t be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip…” What if all our private conversations were somehow shouted from the rooftops? What if every word we said in anger, every insult ever uttered, every rumor we shared in confidence was…

Real value lies in interpretation and application
A Parable I borrowed from Emmet Fox to explain my point 🙂 “A remote island was inhabited by highly intelligent savages. They had some primitive art and made excellent drawings of animals on the walls of caves. A box was washed ashore containing a number of books, dry and in good condition. The natives were…

Why are we so afraid to stand out?
The year was 1970. I was staring at a picture larger than life of Angela Davis, (an American political activist and university professor who was associated with the Black Panther Party for Self Defense and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee), on my brother’s bedroom wall. I was 6 years old. I didn’t know anything about…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
When the stakes are high, DON’T MOVE without CLARITY
You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.
When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.
