Ode to Brene’ Brown
I absolutely love that the conversation around authenticity, connection, vulnerability, and courage are going more main stream! Thank you, Brene’ for shining a light on these important topics! Four of my favorite Brene’ Brown quotes: “Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up […]

I Am the Decisive Element
“I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument if inspiration; I can […]

The Impact Your Presence Can Have (Part 2)
Yesterday I wrote about two very different leaders (you can catch up on that blog post here). The first leader had the uncanny ability to disengage a room full of people managers in an instant. The second leader invested about 30 minutes of his time to ignite a passion for growth, build trust, and plant […]

What Do You Stand For?
Imagine that there is a big dart board about 30 feet in front of you. You are blindfolded. What are your chances of hitting the bullseye? Unless you are a world-champion dart player, I suspect you might have difficulty. Now, imagine the same dart board looms in front of you and you take the blindfold […]
Sparking a Mountain of Motivation
We hiked to the top of Mt. Battie today, just outside Camden, Maine (Goregeous! If you ever get a chance, you really must go!) and I couldn’t help but think what a study in motivation it was . (Look, if I’m going to be blogging while on vacation, I will find an insight ’round every […]
