NOT Biz as usual: New, renewed, renewable.

January 11, 2013

11 days into the new year. Can you tell how it’s going to turn out? It’s an artificial break, I know, but I’m kind of partial to new beginnings. I am a sucker for starting things and love that feeling of a fresh new page before me, waiting to be written or drawn upon. So, [...]

Work: What’s it all about?

August 16, 2012

I absolutely love my work! I say that frequently, but also, people say it right back. They say, for example, that they can TELL I love my work. Great! To me: that’s what it’s all about. It keeps me looking for better ways to do what I do. It challenges me to turn my passion [...]

An innovator or a nut?

October 25, 2011

I’ve done some brave things in my life. Lately, a few that are big stretches for me, daring to move out of my comfort zone and risk not being liked (gasp)! Most recently I did a remote session via Instant Presenter to a live, very touchy-feely group in San Francisco, at the Human Element International [...]

Is self-esteem the enemy?

October 20, 2011

This morning I came across an article published by a religious group in which working with self-esteem was portrayed as dangerous, not only to religious beliefs but to reality-based decision making. After moving past my own defensiveness and professional slant, I do see how it could be misused and misinterpreted that way, but I also [...]

Saying Yes.

May 11, 2011

For the past few weeks I have been experiencing a theme in my conversations. Funny how that happens. Just the lesson I need to learn, too! So, here I am paying attention to this thread and thinking: “Yes, I want to explore that!” It’s about the act of saying yes. It sounds simple enough. And [...]

The end of dissent is such bad news!

April 12, 2011

Be afraid. When everyone is agreeing with you on all counts, day in and day out, there is something extremely wrong. Such contentment must be a sign of very bad news. Could it be possible that everyone has finally seen the light and is ready to embrace your truth as the one and only? Beware [...]

A New Kind of Leadership, Part 3: Leading for Wisdom

December 2, 2010

There’s a new kind of leadership needed. One that rests on the willingness of people to follow, instead of the strength of authority. One that commands respect and reflection instead of blind obedience. One that works for all people involved: those who follow, those who are affected by the actions of the group, those that [...]

Your Silence Can Be Toxic

January 18, 2010

Lets continue the subject we started on the previous post “When NOT to give feedback?” I am amazed at how many times I encounter bosses that do not give feedback to certain employees because they have no hopes that they will change. When someone in your team is underperforming, not showing a capacity for change, [...]
