YOUR HEALTH We recently saw the Tom Hanks movie, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and it reminded me of the importance of emotional health. Most of us do something toward our physical health every day, but we must not forget our feelings. Mr. Rogers’ mission was “to help children deal with their feelings in […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
Why You Need a Coach
Back in my corporate days, I had a mentor/coach on retainer. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel qualified for the position, but I didn’t know what I didn’t know.

YOUR HEALTH How are you feeling? The holidays can often leave us feeling sluggish. What better way to start the new year off than cleansing our bodies and detoxing? Tons of products on the market are designed to accelerate this process, but you don’t have to spend a lot of money. In fact, simple is […]
One size never fits all
As a human behavior consultant, I am all about customizing to fit individuals, whether that is communication, leadership, health, or stress management. One size does not fill all! People should be proud of their uniqueness, and we should all celebrate that we are all made different. However, some people seem to be pushing for sameness. […]
You are Groot…and What That Actually Means!
Like millions of people, we went to see the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 movie. I thought the music was a little forced this time, but the movie did not disappoint. Our friend, Groot, is just a tiny twig. In the first one, he gave the ultimate sacrifice (his life) to save his friends. […]
Create bridges with Your Communication
Excuse You. No, you didn’t unintentionally pass gas. But, you may be using excuses to justify your behavior. As a human behavior consultant and trainer, one of the first things I inform people is that insights into one’s behavior is not a license to do and say anything they want simply because that is just […]
