The Obstacles ARE the Path! I want to take a moment to clear up some confusion. You have probably heard people say, “Oh, this is so hard… it must mean I am not meant to do this” “There are so many obstacles in the way of achieving this goal, it must be a sign/fate/destiny that […]
I was recently asked, “What is the difference in being seen a strong woman leader and being seen as a Bitch?” It was a heartfelt question. And sadly, a common quandary. Too often, as women, we feel when we are being firm, confident, authoritative, or bold, we are being perceived as that “b” word, yet […]
Leaders, as the word is defined, Lead. They lead others to success. They are not called Doers, they are not called Draggers, and certainly they are not called Do-it-On-My Own-ers. I was told early in my career that you can’t be a leader if no one is interested in following you. Remember, you don’t have […]
If you have not yet read Lean In, by Sheryl Sandberg, I highly recommend it. Whether you are a man, or a women, the skills she shares to advance into leadership are powerful.

So those of you who know me very well, you know that I am a very positive person. I don’t get Angry, or hold grudges or hold on to “injustices.” Well, an event happened earlier this year, in late January that tore a hole in that mantle. I became obsessed, stressed, angry, hateful, resentful, negative, […]
Today I gave a second chance to a person that had a big heart, but had made some egregious errors in judgement. Why would I do that? People are people, right? We each have perspectives, we each have experiences that we bring into interpersonal relationships. What if we judged everyone on their first, second or […]
Taking stock of your goals or accomplishments for the past year, helps you to understand if you have spent the year treading water, or if you have spent your effort and time as you had every intention to do last New Years Day. I applaud those of you who set out to reach your goals […]
Have you ever heard of the One Degree Shift? No, I’m not talking about the Polar Shift, or even global warming. I am speaking of making changes in your life.
