Have you seen the movie, He’s Just Not That Into You? It came out in 2009 and is a hilarious comparison between men and women in the dating world. Watch it some time for a good laugh. One scene in particular is with Drew Barrymore’s character, Mary. She’s sharing with a girlfriend her frustration with […]
Be Like Mr. Rogers & Improve All Relationships
I recently saw the Tom Hanks movie, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a story about an incredible human being. You didn’t have to grow up with him to appreciate the plot, which is about a reporter’s experience with the man as he interviewed him. I won’t tell you anymore because you just have to […]
November 2019
YOUR HEALTH I always encourage my clients to forgo their weight-loss goals from now to New Year’s. Putting that expectation upon ourselves when the next two months center around food is a recipe for disappointment. This doesn’t mean, however, that we gorge ourselves and go hog-wild. Our focus should be maintaining not only our weight […]
Retain Top Talent with Proper Motivation
Spend any length of time in a leadership or supervisory role, and you quickly realize that the most challenging aspect of your job is people. People are complicated and messy. People come in all shapes, sizes, experience level, educational backgrounds, and they bring with them their own baggage. Yet, you are tasked to develop, nurture, […]
Manners Matter, Even for Madea
I don’t know what rock I have been living under, but I have never seen any of the Tyler Perry Madea movies. I really like the movies I’ve seen Perry in, so when Madea’s Family Reunion was on television (came out in 2006), I sat down to watch it and was pleased to see that […]
It’s All About the FIT
I’m not sure how you know me. Maybe we met at a networking event or perhaps you’re a former client of mine. You might just know what you’ve read and seen on my website or social media page. In either case, what you probably don’t know is why I got into human behavior in the […]
Leadership Lessons from Han Solo
I just love movies, and I’ve said before that I believe the reason why all the super hero movies are so popular is that we desperately want someone to believe in; we want a leader like Captain America, and we’ll follow him anywhere! I recently saw Solo and thoroughly enjoyed learning about Han Solo. If […]
Stop Checking Your Brains at the Door
You would think by having the world at our finger tips with the invention of the World Wide Web we would be smarter, brighter, and not easily deceived. Unfortunately, the complete opposite seems to be true. I am dumbfounded and taken back at the things people forward and share on social media that just isn’t […]
If you are still married, I am proud of you!
My husband and I just celebrated 19 years of marriage. We were enjoying an evening dip in the pool when he said, “I’m proud of us.” I knew exactly what he was referring to and agreed. You see, we’ve faced a lot of challenges and stresses in our marriage from job losses, illness, deaths of […]
Let’s put the social back into social media, shall we?
I have a love/hate relationship with social media. On Facebook, I enjoy looking at photos of friends and family, learning what they have been up to, and seeing where they have traveled. I do not, however, like the political rants and pushing of products. Some people post hateful, judgmental, and nasty statements designed to divide […]
