And, because it’s my birthday, can you … Learn More
Wouldn’t you like to be in the room where it happens? You know, the room where talent is being discussed, evaluated, and selected for advancement? I’ve been in these behind closed doors conversations before. I’ve heard Board Directors say “they’re not ready … yet.” And I’ve been hired to get them ready. I’ve heard CEOs … Learn More
So … You’re holding a meeting. You just presented details regarding a new corporate-wide initiative. You’re excited because you’re finally giving the team the clarity and direction they’ve been asking for. After your 10-minute brief, you turn to the group and say, “What do you think? I’d love to hear your thoughts.” And then you … Learn More
I love the word “potential.” It represents this unexplored part of me that is victorious in every single way. When I think about me realizing my potential, it’s a simple image: me, strutting down a beach, by myself with my head held high – I’m feeling vibrant, energized, and alive. What does your unrealized potential look … Learn More
“Go-Go” Angie. That’s one of the many nicknames I’ve earned. I move … fast. I love “new,” so much so that I often find myself in the throes of many exciting initiatives that do take their toll on my sanity. I call it “The Curse of Capability.” You share that curse too, don’t you? You … Learn More
I was standing in the airplane aisle the other night, grabbing my suitcase from the overhead bin, when a woman ran up behind me, pushed me out of her way, and then ran past me. “What the hell, lady?” was the first thought that crossed my mind. Then a sea of negative emotions washed over me – … Learn More
“Give your ego a name.” My friend recommended this after I shared that there are times my ego gets in the way of my best intentions. Their idea was that naming my ego would help me separate myself from the part of me that is selfish, self absorbed, and unaccountable. The part of me that screams … Learn More
I’m much more fun when I drink. At least, that’s what I’ve been told. After a few cocktails, I let my guard down, my stream of consciousness flows, and soon I’m dancing like no one’s watching (although everyone is watching and it’s quite the spectacle). To be fair: this was more common when I was … Learn More
Did you have a friend in college who just loved college? Not the studying part, but the partying part – going to football games, $1 Long Island night at the bar, and frat parties? I did – we’ll call him Ty. I think he was the saddest kid on graduation day because he was saying … Learn More
I spend a lot of my time observing people. I think it’s because I’m the second born in my family. Long before I could speak, I’d watch my sister’s failed attempts at trying to get her way. In my young mind, I’m sure I’d note these as “failed experiments,” and when it was my turn … Learn More
“That was the best thing ever.” I shared this with my oldest son, Judge, the other day. We’d just listened to an episode of Hardcore History by Dan Carlin – it was a 3-hour lesson on Alexander the Great. This was just Part 1. Had you asked me two weeks ago if I had several … Learn More
“Well, it’s a free country.” If I had to count the number of times I’ve said that phrase in sarcasm, it’d be ridiculous. This time, this week, I’m saying it seriously: Hey, it’s a free country.
