On the journey to empowerment, we’ve covered what it means to take care of yourself. So what about how we respond to others’ emotions, when we cannot possibly control those around us, yet they can greatly impact ours? Empathy is a buzzword these days. I say that because, while I truly believe in it, it’s misunderstood. […]

Being a giver means you sometimes surround yourself with takers. It’s especially tough when takers are not very self aware and take more of you than you can give. Some days I feel completely drained. As if someone has zapped the energy right out of me. And so, I have to think about what fuels me. […]

If there is one thing I have started to better identify, it’s my own emotional agility. By that, I mean I am able to recognize and then manage or suppress the rising fear in my stomach when my inner saboteur is telling me I’m no good, or to blame, or undeserving. This does not mean […]

Perhaps it comes with age, but I have experienced and watched others experience some major loss in 2017 leading into 2018. As one client put it when explaining a recent rejection: “It’s as if I was standing at the ferry dock and the ferry left without me. And there was no schedule for the next […]

It’s easy to take care of others needs without putting too much thought into our own. But there is something to be said for donning that armor, our last mission, and now looking in the mirror square on. Do you like what you see? If not, why? Maybe it’s time to get more curious about […]

I received some news recently that, although not entirely surprising, still stunned and saddened me. So I had this inner struggle. So you knew it was coming. Yeah but this is game-changing. C’mon, be resilient. You can do this. Now what? Nothing comes easy. Life doesn’t happen without loss or defeat. So what’s new? Your mission to […]

We are really good at sitting in judgment. And not only of others. We are sometimes the best at judging ourselves very harshly. As if life is one big face of scorn, look at us and shaking its head. Some of us have been taught to be self critical, easily judging ourselves, while hearing familiar voices tell […]

As I reflect back on 2017, I have a lot to be grateful for. My life is filled with love, hope and a surge of happiness when I think about what we’ve accomplished, and what we have yet to explore, try and achieve in 2018. My lessons learned for 2017 are long, and in fact it’s […]

Here’s a year in review for what we’ve accomplished and what’s next for Covert Leadership. On January 1, we decided to blog daily as a way to journey through, and maybe even cope in our extremely divisive society. We wrote a book in 6 weeks and we wanted to find a way to reunify our […]

It’s time to say good bye to 2017. At the start of each year, renewal is top of mind for me. Many of us have felt our values under assault for every single day of 2017. And it’s true that human beings want to find a savior – it’s a myth, really. Whether that savior is […]
