I’m resisting the quiet. My world is buzzing with busyness. I’m consumed by “to do” lists that never end… personal and professional. I welcome it. I actually tend to thrive in a world of busy. However, I get the nagging feeling that I need to be quiet. I need to be still. But I’m dodging […]
I’ve mentioned that my husband and I recently moved. Moving always reminds me of a couple of important things: I have too much stuff. I never want to move again! The crazy part of this move is that we chose to move into a house that had been in foreclosure and is in desperate need […]
If leadership is in your blood, it’s what you aspire to… it’s what you’re gifted for… it’s your calling… It’s likely that you pride yourself in growing to new levels of leadership. You look for opportunities to grow. You dream of more influence. You seek out greater leadership opportunities. You thrive in being challenged. Leadership […]
My Fabulous Friday is filled with packing, painting, cleaning, more painting and more packing. Oh and probably a run to get more boxes and packing supplies. Moving is a great reminder of how much crap you collect. PURGE people, PURGE! It’s good for the soul. 🙂 I have a few opportunities to post around the […]
Well you all know I’m a fan of Marcus Buckingham. I love how he thinks, especially in regard to drawing out the best in people. He challenges and inspires, and always makes you feel like you are wonderful – no matter what your strengths are! I’m very excited for his new book and thought you […]
It was a simple decision, but I just couldn’t make it. My assistant was picking up lunch for me because I had a string of back-to-back meetings in an already hectic week. A few minutes after she left, I got a call telling me that the restaurant was out of what I had ordered. It […]
I’ve always had a special affinity for creatives, storytellers, dreamers and artists. It’s rather odd because I’m wired quite the opposite in regard to the stereotypical identities by which we tend to be labeled. But I think my passion has so much to do with seeing peoples’ God-given gifts come to life. The creative types […]
Be wholeheartedly somewhere rather than halfheartedly everywhere. I feel extraordinarily fragmented right now. I live between two houses. One of is for sale and the other I’m remodeling to move into. I don’t have an office so I office in many different places but none of them feel like “my space”. And on Sundays I […]
Leaders live in tension. Constant tension. I call it the shades of grey. A tension that is very real for me is the tension of planning for the future and being present in the today. As leaders we’re wired to look ahead, to dream, to plan, to strategize, but oftentimes all of our dreaming and […]
This week in our Leadership at All Levels discussion we’re talking about “Leading Down”. Right off the bat, I don’t like that phrase “leading down”. It sounds a little derogatory, but the only other way for me to say it is “leading those who report to you” which is really too many words for a […]
