Recently I had the privilege of leading a leadership development workshop for the United States Air Force. The workshop was held at Scott Air Force Base in St. Louis. It was simply a fabulous experience, by all counts. Regardless of your political stance (and for my many global readers, this goes for you, too!), we […]
A client recently expressed exacerbation and impatience with a few of her employees that ‘simply didn’t get it.’ She was irritated; as she felt these individuals were slowing her down, holding her back, and taking up valuable time she could be using in more fruitful ways.

Emmitt Smith is a rarity on many levels. He achieved every goal he set forth for himself when he met Jerry Jones 20 years ago. He wanted to win the Super Bowl more than once. Check. He wanted to lead the league in rushing. Check. He wanted to lead the league in touchdowns. Check. And yes, […]
Often when working with my clients, they just want someone to tell them what to do! Their circumstances may range from how to deal with troubled employees and dysfunctional teams to strategic opportunities for their careers to everything in between.

It is quite complex and involves focusing all levels and their associated responsibilities, from the CEO down to the first shift nurse, into alignment around their overall objectives.
