A Culture of Candid Communication

Communication is key

As someone who has spent over 20 years consulting for companies, I can tell you that the number one problem most businesses face is poor communication. You’d think with highly intelligent leaders this would not be the case, but statistics tell us otherwise: 4 out of 10 workers say their managers fail to engage in […]

Don’t Assume

Focus on yourself

While walking my dog the other day, a lady approached me laughing. She said that from a distance, it appeared I wasn’t wearing pants. She was taken back by this and her mind was already racing with judgements and what she would say to me for such an atrocity. When she got closer, she realized […]

Feelings vs Facts

Facts not feelings

If I had to sum up succinctly what I feel is wrong in our country right now, I would say our emotional intelligence as a whole is in the basement. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is our ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions to facilitate higher levels of collaboration and […]

Hatred Will be Our Undoing

Love not hate

I recently watched the movie, The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas, a 2008 movie based in the World War II era. It follows a German family who moves so the father can take his new post at a “farm” which is really an extinction camp. The movie is complex and shows multiple sides of the […]

The Lost Art of Conversation

The Art of Conversation

This past weekend, I didn’t leave the house. I was overdue for a relaxing, restful weekend at home. Besides baking pumpkin bread, making homemade soup, painting, and wrapping Christmas gifts, I watched some movies. It has been a long time since I saw Fried Green Tomatoes, which originally released in 1991, but I settled in […]

Your Kid Has Style!

Each child is unique

I’ve been a huge fan of DISC for 30 years and have been teaching its principles for more than 20. The insights gained build bridges, not walls, and help people be the best version of themselves. I wish someone would have given me this insight when I was in grade school. It would have saved […]

Learn how to find that time to excercise

YOUR HEALTH Health is a moving target, especially as we age. Our bodies are constantly changing and adapting to what we do, don’t do, and our environment. Add to the mix my history of Lyme disease, and I am discovering just how altered my body became as a result of that bacterial infection. Even though […]

Seller Beware

Put the human back in customer service

Like many, I am grateful for the technology to conduct business, hold meetings, and purchase products virtually and online. However, let us not forget it is just one channel in business commerce. I understand that COVID-19 has forced many businesses to pivot for survival, but I caution some businesses regarding putting all their eggs in […]
