Slow Leadership

April 25, 2019 Leave a Comment

SThis week I was driving to spend the day with a leadership coaching client, and this question popped into my head: What is the greatest risk for leaders – acting too quickly or acting too slowly? While it’s certainly true that we can sometimes act too quickly (without enough research, input, thought […]

Leaders Decide

March 21, 2017 Leave a Comment

One of my critical roles as a transformational leadership coach is to identify leadership gaps and then (most important) to help leaders shift their thinking and their behaviors. A key step in this process is to arm leaders with awareness and clarity about the ways that they can communicate and […]

LEAP Into 2016

In case you missed it, 2016 is a special year – special because you get a whole extra day during the year. That’s right, every four years we get an extra day and 2016 is one of those years – a leap year. But let’s face it – that extra […]

Stop Shoulding on Yourself (and Others)©

If you know me, you know that I believe in the power of words to empower or disempower, especially the words we use about ourselves. You also know that I have given up a long list of words: can’t, try, someday, never, impossible, okay and busy. Well, it’s time to […]

Your One Third©

If you’re like me, you find yourself saying something like this: “I can’t believe it’s already September” or “Where did the summer go?” Funny how time seems to fly in our minds, but not so funny how we (I include myself in this) fail to take action to change it. […]

Keep It Simple©

No, I am not writing about the already tired and overused K.I.S.S. concept (Keep It Simple, Stupid), at least not in the way that you’ve read about it before. However, I am suggesting that you focus on simplicity in how you think, believe and decide because simple is the only […]

Formula for Impact©

July 2, 2015 Leave a Comment

I frequently hear people talk about how they want to do more (most typical) or do better (not as often). People want to be all of the above – more effective, more productive, more organized, more successful—you get the point (more, more, more). Everyone is chasing more, but at the […]
