If you ever secretly wonder if you were the right pick for the job, whether you were a diversity hire, if you really have the potential “they” think you do, or if your success is just a matter of luck and timing- your secret is in danger of being revealed.

You can no longer ignore the facts or wait for a crisis to force change. The time is now, and yes, I do believe you should have a sense of urgency about it.

Look for the places that activate you and drain your emotional energy.

I learned from a former boss, mentor, and one of my favorite people, you have to be intentional with gratitude.

If leadership is about motivating and inspiring others around a common goal while providing adequate support and resources, why should I worry about whether my organization’s leaders can lead themselves first?

At the risk of making people cringe on this valentines day, I want to talk about intimacy in the workplace…no, not that kind of intimacy.

Have you ever wondered if your ability to get results was tied to your identity in some way?

Being busy may not come with the distinction you think it does. For some, being busy means your hard work finally paid off or for others, it can be a point of pride- being busy means people need you and therefore you’re important and valued. However, when left unchecked, busy can become our norm and can leave a lasting impact on our physical and mental well-being. In fact, studies show that busyness can impact our self-esteem and our motivation and, at it’s worst, can lead to presenteeism and burnout.

Sometimes we just know. In my practice, leaders regularly tell me, "I know what I need to do but I just can’t get out of my head." My follow up question is typically something around what being in their head looks like for them or how they know when they’re stuck in their head. The answer is always different.
