When I reflect on my four different worlds, I experience cognitive dissonance between the lines. From being a fully entrepreneurial leader working with Fortune 100’s and 500’s, to being an engaged work-from-home which can equate to stay-at-home mom there is a large gap in between. Or from working with high-tech corporations (who are moving the needle […]

#RPCL Log Date Aug 24, 2017 #BeingHuman #GrabYourPower #WordsMatter
Words matter. It’s something we’ve said here before, and it’s something we reinforce when working with leaders, because their words have such obvious impact on people. The same thing holds true in any relationship. Words and actions have impact, and the depth of that impact depends on others’ perception of you. More than once in my […]

Do you dwell on doom? On “what if there’s an apocalypse”? My daughter told me one day she was afraid of dying and of losing us. She recently lost her grandfather. I said to her, “Well, we all die. So might as well acknowledge that death is a part of life, and that worrying about it […]

At a conference I recently attended, one of the speakers was talking about the information society. In our world of over-available information, it is easy to fall for a story that looks real, but is not. In fact, one of the journalists presenting was saying that today when you want to get rid of information […]

Something is happening to this generation of Gen Xers who are burning out. Many of them are friends who are working in large companies, with high executive titles, and whose companies are undergoing restructuring. For their next career step, they don’t want to step up. They want to step down. Up requires more energy, time […]

Are you overwhelmed with your every day? Trying to keep your head above the water line? Me, too. I need a planner. And I am not talking about the journal kind (as much as I love @moleskine). I’m taking about the human kind. Someone who can swoop in and organize my future, starting now. Your […]

There are days when I feel like I simply cannot accomplish anything. And then there are those when I cross off so many things from my list, that my head whirls from excitement. Thankfully today was one of the latter. Because I am so generally bad at celebrating the little victories, after getting done with my last task I decided to […]

It’s so hard to resist social media. Especially when we are consumed by the constant craziness of this administration. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Don’t let the angry bug bite. Do everything in your power to find your inner calm and remember, this too shall pass.

When fatigue hits, it’s like a small parasite that eventually takes over your entire faculties. I am so tired these past few days. In part because of work. In part because of stress from life, loss, money and overall trying to keep my shit together. But every day, every single day, I remind myself to […]

The other day I was getting waxed (yes, that’s a very human thing to do) and my aesthetician was asking if I got the closure I needed at a recent memorial. Truthfully, I haven’t. I told her that, I’m only now realizing why. I haven’t actually made time to mourn. And maybe that’s why I […]
