It’s Just My Imagination and I’m Letting it Run Away With Me. - Click To Read Article

Happy New Year! - Click To Read Article
New years’ resolutions are both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes they actually help us make some valuable changes. More often than not though I see them as an obligatory annual event. If you don’t have them (and tell everyone all about them), something is wrong with you. How about making use of the other 364 days in the year? Improvement and change should be an on-going effort!

When faced with a difficult situation it is often desirable to take the path of least resistance (acquiescence). At other times we may choose to compromise, reserving some semblance of our original stance. In the most powerful instances we accept the starkness, the difference of our stance and we choose to go forward with it. It is here that we truly have the power to inspire and innovate.
Replenishment! - Click To Read Article

You Don’t Have To Do It All Alone - Click To Read Article
For those of us in business, particularly the smaller businesses, we tend to think we have to do it all ourselves. Perhaps we are trying to keep costs down, maybe we really believe we have the skills, or perhaps we are hoping to hone skills we have not yet developed.
In reality few of us can do it all; developing strategic alliances not only expands our resource base but it frees us up to capitalize upon those things that we are truly passionate about. The bottom line is that we move closer to our goals.
Teamwork... Biz Buzz or Biz Bust? - Click To Read Article
Teamwork is lauded as a cure for many ills as well as the “right way to be”; while teamwork is essential in any business environment it is not always the most efficient or beneficial way to get things done. Knowing when to utilize teamwork requires an appreciation for the task to be completed as well as the folks who comprise the team itself.
Not of Mice and (Yes) Men - Click To Read Article
Working with a business coach is a great way to grease the wheels of a growing (or struggling) business. The coach-client relationship is a partnership based upon trust and respect; there is but one goal- the success of the client. Of ultimate importance is the ability to develop clarity around the client goals and intent.

Where there is smoke there is... - Click To Read Article
Workplace disruptions (fires) are a commonplace event. Prevention is the best course of action since much time and energy is consumed resolving these issues.

As a participant in a life-changing challenge I was able to see myself (and others) in a way I never had before. This experience taught me the value of getting to know myself and others as well.

Keep your’ eye on the ball… but don’t be afraid to wander! - Click To Read Article
Distraction is both an impediment and a catalyst for growth. Knowing when to hunker down and avoid the barrage is essential; there are times when the distraction is just too much. But then again we need to appreciate that distraction can also fuel our enthusiasm and of course it is imperative that we are aware of the world around us; there is no escaping it- it has a tremendous impact on our business.
