For my husband’s birthday, we went and saw the new movie, Air, starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Affleck plays Phil Knight, founder and CEO of Nike, and Damon is Sonny Vaccaro, hired to spot and recruit up and coming athletic talent. I’m actually not a Nike fan since they have gone completely wonky socially […]
Quit Wishing and Start Doing
My husband and I were recently at a store. We were talking to the associate, and the subject of dogs came up. Of course we had to share about Kuma, and the man wanted to see a picture. He had heard of the Shiba Inu, but he never saw a Black and Tan one. I […]
Looking Back to Move Forward
Happy 2023! I hope you had a most wonderful holiday season. If you haven’t put your goals together yet, I encourage you to do so this week. You can’t reach the destination without a map, and your goals will help you make the right choices and steps toward reaching the place you want to […]
Self-Compassion is Vital
This is the last week of 2022, and as you look back on what you didn’t do and didn’t get done, you might be hard on yourself. Certainly, we must admit failures in order to make corrections for the next year. Each mistake can grow us if we let it. However, beating one’s self […]

November 2022
YOUR HEALTH Here we are in 2022, and I still hear women say, “I don’t do weights.” I understand lifting heavy weights may not be someone’s cup of tea, but we all must be working on our strength or we will find ourselves without any. Besides building up muscle and burning fat, resistance […]
Performance Should Matter
I know I am not the only person shaking their head wondering, “What the heck happened?” When I was in corporate American, you either did your job right, or you didn’t have a job. If you didn’t show up for work, you considered yourself fired. But apparently, we care more about being politically correct […]
Manage Expectations to Reduce Stress
The Oxford dictionary defines disappointment as “sadness or displeasure caused by the non fulfillment of one’s hopes or expectations.” In short, disappointment is unmet expectations. In our daily life, we can be disappointed in our self, spouse, kids, boss, team members, service providers, healthcare…well, just about everything and everyone! We wake up with expectations for […]

Whether you are a company, department or individual, my practices apply and can help you achieve great things. The first step is assessing the current situation honestly and accurately. This sounds simple, but I can’t tell you how many […]
Do You Have a Ant Hill or a Team?
I believe former President Bill Clinton is quoted as saying, “If everyone on your team looks and acts just like you, you don’t have a team – you have an ant hill,” or something to that effect. He’s right! Unfortunately, many leaders are more comfortable with a carbon copy of themselves than their opposite. People […]
