Last week I delivered a webinar, which I do every month at the request of my clients and followers, and this particular webinar was very well received. So, I decided to share the high level content in this blog. My intention is to shed light on a few thoughts which completely shifted my approach to […]
Many of my clients and followers are entering their 2nd (and in some cases 3rd) chapter in their lives and careers. There is certainty AND there is ambiguity. Where to contribute? What to do? With whom to do it? How to craft the next position? How will I know for sure? Some have plenty of […]
Recently, I’ve read several articles where the author has shared their perspectives on life and business. They were thought-provoking. Coupled with those articles, many of my clients and followers have asked me: ‘what have you learned, given all the challenges during the pandemic, etc., in the past 24 months? Hmmm….we’ve all been tested and stretched, […]
Here’s the skinny: there is always – always – a ‘list’. The ‘list’ from which decisions are made for opportunities, promotions, new projects, visible ‘task forces’…..you name it.

And alongside these changes come opportunities for promotion, shifts in position, changes in reporting structures, etc. And the one word…. that most ‘type A’ ambitious, focused, and […]

Often they are talked over, interrupted, and sentences truncated. The situation can become even more difficult when a person is trying to engage in a virtual […]

THANK YOU to so many of you for taking part in my marketing research a few months ago. Your input was very informative and valuable, and I sincerely appreciate the time you took answering my questions.
