Had a good chat with a friend a few weeks ago following a mediocre round of golf. In case you were wondering, that’s the norm – the mediocre round of golf, not the chat about balance. I’ve been thinking about balance ever since… I’ve never been one for balance. Have you? I recognize that I…
An old connection recently shared a poetic moment from Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “False face must hide what the false heart doth know.” Macbeth tells the story of a Scottish Army general who receives a prophecy from three witches that tell him he will one day be the king of Scotland. It is tale of the psychological…
I find myself coming full circle to February 13, 2023. This, readers, was when I posted my first blog called “Time”. Here are a few snippets. For the record, I am still asking myself this question in June. Reminder: I live a life of privilege. What jumps out about my question about stillness is how…
“Find the people who affirm your power. Who tell you to keep going. Who believe in your ability and who don’t enable you to be a lower version of yourself. Find the people who expect greatness and show compassion for your human flaws.” – Dr. Nicole LePera In business and in sport, team members fall…

A brief note to my readers… I have not been able to put in the time I’d like into writing my blog recently. As a result, I am going to take a 2-week hiatus prior to resuming. Apologies to those who have enjoyed the routine (I have too!). Keep working on yourself.
Let’s keep it brief, shall we? Did you elevate anyone this week? We can learn from crisis. And if we work hard on our levels of awareness, we can avoid some crises all together. From self-awareness comes critical self-reflection. Then growth will follow. Let’s do the work.
“Never let a good crisis go to waste.” Churchill is credited with saying this in the mid-1940s as the world approached the end of WWII. Fitting. Crisis tends to bring up negative feelings in many, but crisis also means change is afoot. And change can be very positive. Crisis is: I’ve been part of a…
“I don’t shine if you don’t shine.” – Aminatou Sow & Ann Friedman In a past blog, I shared about a book called Big Friendship – How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman. In their book, Sow and Friedman write a chapter called Shine Theory. I wanted to share key…
I’ve been thinking about regret this week and why it may (or may not) be the worst feeling in the world. People will feel regret over personal decisions as well as non-decisions. And living with the aftermath can be difficult. What I have found is, at times, regret can manifest at different times in one’s…
