Fear of itself isn’t bad. Appropriate fear prevents us from jumping off a treacherous cliff with rocks down below that will kill us. Fear can also warn us when danger is approaching to keep us safe. More often than not, though, fear paralyzes us, preventing us from being the best version of our self. Whether […]
Tomorrow is Another Day
Because I was never taught how to handle stress in a healthy manner, I have been sharing tools, tips, strategies and ways on stress management for years in hopes to help others avoid the burnout I experienced. Two important things you must understand about stress: 1) We will always have stress! We never arrive and […]
Are You Fit or Healthy?
Are you fit or healthy? That’s a trick question because I hope you are both! Unfortunately, many are one or the other. Back in 1997, I was exercising hours a day and weighed only 97 pounds at 5′ 10″. I was fit, but I was not healthy due to mismanaging stress. I thought I would […]
Choose Your Team Wisely
I’m an avid hiker, and back in 2007, I decided to hike Mt. Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States and the Sierra Nevada, with an elevation of 14,505 feet. In order to hike this particular peak, you need a permit. It’s one of the busiest hikes in America. I set the date […]
What I Learned from My Mother
To all the moms out there, I hope you had a wonderful weekend and got to do whatever makes you happy. I lost my mom back in 1997, so the holiday is always a mix bag of emotions for me. I am grateful for my fur kids and the opportunity to provide them a healthy […]

Emotional Intelligence is Vital in Workplace
I’m going back a number of years here, but I enjoyed the movie with Tom Hanks and Madonna called A League of Their Own. It’s a story of a has-been baseball coach who has a drinking problem and is demoted to a women’s league. He’s not happy about it but slowly begins to see the […]
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
As a business consultant and professional recruiter, I can’t tell you how many times I hear the words “we want the best talent” or “we value our people” from companies, yet when the time comes to put their money where their mouth is, they back pedal, settle and won’t invest in their people. If you […]
Conformity Kills Creativity
For the first time in American history, we are seeing a trend to conform rather than be unique. We have been a country as diverse as the innovations we create; yet, there is a push for us all to look alike, most alarming, to think alike. Under the guise of tolerance, there is a one-sided […]
A Solution in Search of a Problem
I know I am going against the trendy culture here, but someone has to speak the truth about the ridiculousness of diversity and inclusion initiatives. It is truly a solution in search of a problem. Let me explain my take on this… When we focus on dividing us up into classes, segments, races and genders, […]
