Make your ‘Mess’ your Marketing Message
Born in the mid sixties I grew up hearing about soul “The brother’s got soul!” “Be careful not to sell your soul” “Have you saved your soul?” and in the early seventies we welcomed the ‘Soul Train’. When we say people have “soul” I guess we think that somehow their lives have a deeper meaning.…

Are you stuck in your own “Twilight Zone”?
Dictionary.com defines the twilight zone as a state of mind between reality and fantasy; dreamlike or hallucinatory state. It’s natural to dream and to want a better life but we must be careful if all we’re doing is ‘dreaming’ and ‘wanting’. Sometimes we can become mired in the zone between reality and fantasy and remain…

The importance of keeping your word
There is a sort of internal crumbling that takes place when you don’t keep your word. We’ve all experienced what happens when someone else doesn’t keep theirs: The minutes aren’t done They didn’t bake the cookies as promised for the bazaar They promised to watch grandma while you went shopping but never showed up Promised…

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! :))…

Surround Yourself with People who GIVE energy not DRAIN!
Read a great post yesterday by Sonia Simone , Senior Editor of Copyblogger, CMO of Copyblogger Media, and founder of Remarkable Communication. My takeaway was simply “My problem is never a time management problem – it’s an energy management one.”s I am an intuitive empath. I am attuned to people’s feelings positive and negative, and…

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…
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.
