See the person and not the jerk
Who we are is who we are with others. Slow down and read that simple sentence again, because it is hard to swallow. Another way to say it is: We are who we are with others. Most leaders have a deep commitment to being kind and thoughtful. Yet it is easy for leaders to spend[…]
Help Things Go Right
Forge your leadership with purpose. Larry came into work quite late. He stopped by his supervisor’s office and apologized. His wife was so sick he was afraid to leave her and the baby alone. The supervisor looked him in the eye and said, quite forcefully, ”Go home. We’ll handle everything here.” All things change when[…]
Bring your love to work
The dictionary says the verb “love” is “to like or enjoy very much.” One of the outcomes of bringing love to work is that everyone is happier/more satisfied at work.

We can claim those things because we made a clear intention to continue to grow in love and wisdom. Once that intention was made, the universe delivered the events that made it all[…]

With so many unexpected surprises this year, we continue to think about you and hope you are well. For many of us, this year still feels like we don’t have solid ground beneath our feet. You know, it is similar when our mind is full of disabling thoughts. Everything feels a bit slippery….with nothing to[…]
