Over the last three years, I have researched, read and reflected on compassion and how it shows up at work and home. It’s been a great exploration to find the many ways compassion is understood. It’s something we know by experience, and is less clear to define. After many conversations and interviews, empathy is a […]

Most leaders have star performers, and often times, those leaders work hard to find new ways to engage them to be productive and fulfilled in their roles. Finding new projects, developing a specific skill or getting exposure to different markets or people can all be ways to reward performers. In a recent situation, I worked […]

I read this post recently, and thought it was a great twist on a common expression…Just had to share!

As I sit at my desk preparing for a productivity program to a group of 14 executives next week, I ask myself, what would this group find valuable? What’s not working for them?

What do you see in this very moment… Winter isn’t my season of choice. In fact, I often have to stretch myself to see the beauty of the season – things look stark, dull and lifeless. As I have watched this season, however, there is a beautiful stillness, a peace, even a strength behind it […]

This poem spoke to me, as Mary Oliver’s poems frequently do. Perhaps it will speak to you as well. One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, though the voices around you kept shouting their bad advice– though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at […]

It’s fun to run. And if you’re in the mood, to skip or leap around. There is something freeing and energizing about moving forward with great force. It’s like there is nothing holding you back and you leave what you want to leave behind you. My running highs result from both the endorphin rush and the more […]
