Right now, we are in uncharted territory with COVID-19. One thing I know for sure, we are designed for connection and not made to isolate. We are already seeing the psychological and mental ramifications of shelter in place, and the numbers are staggering for divorce, depression, and suicide. We must move toward interacting with one […]
How to Move Past COVID-19 Using DISC
Last week I shared how COVID-19 has impacted each differently since we are all unique personality blends. Moving forward starts with first understanding how stress affects each of us. This week, I want to provide some insights into how you can help your people begin to recover from COVID-19 or any life stress to re-engage. […]
How COVID-19 Has Impacted Each of Us
I am certified in DISC and have been using it as the foundation of my coaching, consulting, and training for 25 years. I’ve conducted and debriefed thousands of reports, and I never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to anything. COVID-19 is no exception. In fact, as I sit in my home office—which I have operated […]
The Importance of Work/Life Balance
I’ve been preaching the work/life balance message for more than 20 years now. When asked what one thing summarizes why I do what I do, it would be work/life balance. You see, I haven’t always been good at it. In my twenties, I was climbing the corporate ladder while attending night school to obtain my […]
Transform Your Leadership and Become a Super Leader
During our uncertain and ever-changing times, I am grateful for movies on demand or on DVD, especially the ones where the good guys like Captain America win! Is everyone familiar with Captain America? He is a WWII experiment to create the ultimate solider: he’s super strong, incredibly fast, and indestructible. In the first movie, he […]
Handling Crucial Conversations with EQ
Back in September of 2001, authors Joseph Grenny, Al Switzler, and Ron McMillan released their book, Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When the Stakes are High. Not in a million years would they have predicted what would happen about the same time as their book launched. Perhaps it was Devine providence or just luck, but […]
Elevate your executive team meetings
As a business consultant, I often observe executive team meetings to offer ways to improve their effectiveness. When a team has worked together for years, they can get in a rut by checking off the box that says “executive meeting” without really adding value to one another. They can lose sight of what is pertinent […]
Reach Your Goals in Record Time in 2020
Setting goals is the easy part; taking action toward them requires daily discipline so that we may actually achieve them. Once you have defined your goals, you will want to anchor your why to them. Saying you want to lose weight to fit into your cloths better isn’t a strong enough why. If it were, […]
Tame the Technology Monster for a Happier Holiday
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 […]
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 […]
