“JUST shuffle YOUR FEET.” My 14-year-old and I were on a chairlift at a ski resort over break when we heard this shout coming from below. It was from an exasperated parent attempting to help their child learn how to ski across flat land. The child was stuck standing still. The parent was clearly frustrated … Learn More
I’m a last minute holiday shopper. In fact, I’m still waiting on some packages to come in from Amazon … fingers crossed. It’s not that I don’t like giving gifts – quite the contrary! It just takes time to get the perfect gift, which is why I feel I’m always a little behind. And when I can’t find … Learn More
2024 was the Year of Transformation – more specifically, my year of transformation. I wrote this piece last year during the darkest days of my life. My husband had just been arrested.

You’re the CEO of you. Shouldn’t you take just as much time to strategize about your personal enterprise as you do for your business’s? Heck yeah! I’d argue that you should take more!

So, tell me: how did you feel this morning? I felt as rusty as the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz. I OVERINDULGED this Thanksgiving. I think I ate 3000 calories on Thursday, 75% of them were carbs.

I want to talk about the #1 reason we screw up all the goodness in our life – it’s because we can’t handle … Learn More
The way I see it, I’ve got three options: – Resign to the goal, even though my team can’t achieve it – Fight the goal, knowing I’m going to p*ss off my boss … but maybe I change it – Quit because I’m … Learn More

I was also bopping around the country delivering keynotes, working on my next book proposal, and trying to enjoy a few more summer days with my … Learn More
I had a pretty crappy day last week. I know, right? That doesn’t sound like me – the eternal optimist. Even so, it happened. A personal situation percolated and sent me sideways. Following that event, all I wanted to do was sit on the couch, bury my head in a bag of potato chips, and insert a wine IV into … Learn More
What would our world be like if … Tragic … tragic. Varying degrees of tragic, of course. I want you to think of you. You by your lonesome. You imagining all you could do if you only had … I can’t think of anything sadder than you not realizing your potential. I know it seems that it’s … Learn More
It’s not that I don’t like being by myself. Believe me, as an introvert, I spend a great deal of time in solitude. But when it comes to work? I value partnerships.
