My friend has a pretty big title. She’s worked hard throughout her career to earn a President’s role in a large energy company. I’ve known her long enough to know that there are parts of the role she loves, and others she tolerates. Regarding the latter, she hates networking. Hates it. She hates getting invited … Learn More
“Come on guys, this sucks … but we’re all in this together.” I’m sure many managers are using this refrain right now. I call it motivation misery. Here’s the catch: misery isn’t motivating. There are plenty of ways to communicate to those around you that “we’re in this together” without having to remind people of the negative … Learn More
I fully believe everyone wakes up wanting to do their best. I realize, though, there are times when it feels like your colleagues and team members are doing whatever it takes just to get by – and their performance level is less than desirable. When your team members aren’t meeting expectations, it’s easy to get mad … Learn More
Everything you want in life is going to require one thing: Your ability to take a risk. Now, when most people hear the word “risk,” they get squeamish – risk feels like something to avoid.

We don’t need leaders when things are great. We need them right now when the world feels like it’s on fire. We can all read – the economic news is making it hard for us all to focus. Added to this, our businesses are tightening belts, we’re all impacted by layoffs (if not for ourselves, a … Learn More
I coach high-performing leaders to reach new heights. There are times when I’m partnered with leaders who, well, are considered organization a-holes. You know what I mean, right? They’re pure genius, super well educated, but they’re in a funk. They cause a lot of frustration in their working environments, and their organizations can’t tolerate it … but they … Learn More
We know we need to network. Many of us cringe at the idea of walking into a room full of strangers and making small talk, though. I get it. I grew up painfully shy. I used to hide behind my mom’s knees whenever adults would talk to me. I’ve obviously gotten better at this, but it’s taken … Learn More
There are days when we don’t feel as lucky as others: When we feel down on our luck, it’s easy to simmer in our own misery and misfortune, believing that the world is conspiring against us. I can guarantee that if you want to feel depressed, hopeless, and discouraged, the world will give you evidence … Learn More
Some people like chaos. I’m not one of them. I like order, habits, and discipline. A solid structure allows me to accommodate all the dreams, ideas, and ambitions I have. When I’m off my schedule, my mind feels frazzled, my body feels sapped, and my work suffers. When life feels chaotic, I know what to do: … Learn More
If you haven’t figured it out yet, I like to do life experiments … on myself. I tinker with my diet, my sleep, my wellness. Prolon? Tried it. AG-1. I’m on it. Meditation, hot yoga … yeah, I do all that stuff just to see what I need to do to get clear, to get … Learn More
“What the heck are you two doing?” I couldn’t resist asking this question to the two strangers sitting in front of me at a conference recently.
