Do you ever feel like your life resembles that game at the fair?

The one where just when you hit all the creatures down, they keep popping back up. Until, inevitably, they pop up at a rate faster than you can whack them down, the timer runs out and you lose!

Let’s be honest, just when you...

Do you ever have those moments where you forget who you are or how far you’ve come? You forget how much you’ve achieved and how much you’ve accomplished. And you convince yourself that you’ve lost your magic touch and it’s only a matter of time before you lose...

By now, you’ve rung in the new year and you’re probably knee-deep in cleaning after the holiday break. Your calendar is likely swamped with all of the meetings and projects you joyfully delayed until “after the holidays” except now is that time and the tasks at hand just...

Let’s not let Pinterest-perfect holidays steal our joy.

You know what, I’m tired of the picture-perfect, have-it-all-together image of Christmas, LIFE that social media promotes. So…

I deleted Pinterest.

Let’s face it, there are plenty of ordinary people saying and doing rather ordinary things and finding great fame and fortune as a result. We see them all day long on social media. Influencers trying to influence, with little to no star power.

This week during a coaching session, my highly...

The neatly dressed man held a familiar sign at the bottom of the Tucson airport escalator. “Canyon Ranch” was my cue that he would drive me to the coveted resort. As my bags arrived, he loaded them into the black Mercedes Sprinter van, gathered a few more arriving guests, and we made...

Did you happen to catch my LinkedIn post last week as I was prepping a talk for International Women’s Day?

I LOVE public speaking. The first time I ever gave a speech was for my 4th grade commencement.  I was ten years old. My whole family sat in the front row and I was my best...

Joy?  Let’s be honest, it’s not even in your top 10 things to do. You’ve got more important things to handle: the board meeting, the customer presentation, the imploding supply chain crisis (I mean shouldn’t we be done with this sh*& already?!), your boss wants to...
