On our recent vacation, my husband and I rented a scooter as our mode of transportation. We’re always up for a good adventure so our little two-wheeler was loads of fun until one evening as we were finishing dinner we looked up to see driving rain pelting the windows of the restaurant. We were miles […]
I’m currently putting together another group of dynamic women leaders for my next coaching group. I would love for you to be a part of it! Some of my best leadership development has occurred in the context of a small group of peers who find themselves wrestling with the challenges of daily life as a […]
What’s your brand? In my former job I spent the majority of my time developing brand identities for artists. I worked hard to determine the unique characteristics of the individual musician/band/singer and then figured out how to market that to set them apart from the rest of their competitors. It was a fascinating, sometimes frustrating […]

If you’re a leader, you understand the importance of vision casting. You frequently have to remind those you lead why they do what they do. You remind them of how every task, no matter how seemingly insignificant, ties back to the vision of your church or organization. It’s leadership 101. You’ve likely worked hard to […]
“Do not consider what could have been; accept what is and make the most of it.” I found this quote in an old journal. I wrote it after finding out that I didn’t get a promotion that I desperately wanted and was pretty confident I would get. I can still remember the hollowed gut feeling […]
