Respect Space: yours & theirs
For some of you, the title and the image are all you need to remind yourself to take the impact you have on others into account as you act. Far out. Talk to you later. For others, this 1 sentence blog may not cut it. Far out. Let’s talk. Here’s the message I got…

Think it through
Window shopping – it’s inexpensive and fun until … We’d been admiring an artist’s print for a couple of years, delighted by the style, colors, and whimsy, wishing we had it on our wall. Then the “fun until” happened … the 50% off sign appeared. “Let’s get it!” hustled us to the cash register. We…

Wrong number, Right conversation
It takes me a while to toss out stuff – especially quotes, articles, and poems that could help me and my clients see a new possibility. During a recent culling, I came across notes from a phone call. I hope in reading this you’ll remember a kindness you offered someone. Perhaps you thought it was…

The light’s purpose is to illuminate what’s in the frig, not to bring attention to itself. Its function, its role in the system, is to make it easy for someone to see what’s present and what’s missing. We count on the light: On when the door’s open. Off when the door’s shut. The light is…

Want to be a more effective leader? Want to build trust in a relationship or team? IF SO … deal in specifics, not generalities,. Why do specifics matter? By itself, wanting to be a more effective leader doesn’t increase your effectiveness. A specific area for increased effectiveness needs to be distinguished, committed to, and…

Use your anger to recover yourself.
My commitment is to encourage you to lead, yourself and others, by discovering, developing, and being yourself. Inviting you to see the movie “Women Talking” coupled with sharing Sonya Chemaly’s well-researched, conscious-raising Rage Becomes Her: The power of women’s anger does that in spades for me. Take 5 minutes to hear Chemaly speak about women’s…
