Whatever is normal to us becomes invisible…
…even if what we’re doing is counterproductive or hurting us. I remember hearing a story (back in my AMWAY days) where Ian old timer pulled into a service station to get some directions. As the attendant pulled out his map (yes this was told back in the day before apps were even invented lol or for…

A Bad Mood is Bad for Business
I always remember a friend of mine saying that she never allowed a bad mood in her kitchen. A chef in a bad mood, preparing food, is a recipe for disaster. A foodie who goes by the moniker “Jetgirlcity” said on her blog – “I tried making dinner for my parents tonight, as a thank-you…

The Crime We Inflict Upon Ourselves
Psycho-Cybernetics was THE BOOK TO READ in the 70’s. My parents had a copy and I remember my friend’s parents having copies in their homes. I didn’t read it then and when I was finally REALLY interested in reading it, my mom could not find our copy. I eventually bought a copy on-line for my…

You Don’t Need to be Fixed – Nothing is Wrong With You
Do you ever feel insecure? What about unworthy? And rejected? Are you easily hurt if your’e not included in a conversation…left out of a project…didn’t get an invite to the party? Most of us think, ‘I’m pretty worthy of love and belonging — but I’d be super worthy of love and belonging if I could lose…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
If you could better understand one thing about your business right now….
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.
