During this month of Thanksgiving, I thought it only fitting to offer gratitude for so many things in life. And no, not all are ‘hummingbirds and roses’.In fact, some of my greatest blessings have been some of the most challenging times.And, this month, I decided to offer a podcast (versus a written blog), in my […]
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 […]
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, […]
It is impossible to go into any restaurant, retail store, hospital, or other Corporate and even Non-Profit entity and not experience a shortage of staff. It is palpable. Recently, I was in Hot Springs, Arkansas for the Arkansas Derby where we had a fabulous time (and yes, we WON!!). Yet, the shortage of staff was unbelievable. […]
The answer is – YES – it matters. In spades. I have grown weary (and I’m sure I’m not the only one) of inflated humble brags….and empty suits posturing. As we say in Texas….where’s the meat? However, it’s not lost on me that sometimes we have to capture someone’s attention, before they are truly exposed […]

There is no magic answer….yet, I do have a perspective. Click this link to hear a short 6 minute perspective…..https://youtu.be/L0MlOJTB43k Would love your comments…..what have your […]
As we near, what we universally hope is the end of the pandemic, let’s face it – we are not through the proverbial ‘knot hole’ yet. Many venture to say it could be the end of 2021 before we are back to our ‘new pseudo normal’. And, what I can say with absolute certainty: NO […]
Most of us are VERY happy to turn the page from 2020 to 2021. 2020 was a year for the record books…..in many ways and on many levels. As we enter 2021, many of us want to ‘up’ our individual (and collective) plans for continued growth and ongoing improvement. This ritual of writing New Year’s […]
So, as some of you may know, I released my third book in the Is This Seat Taken? trilogy late last year. In the spirit of full transparency, it was with a healthy combination of passion, excitement and fear that I did this. This book, in particular, was extremely vulnerable and soul-bearing. And it had been more than a year of […]
As this COVID nightmare continues, I have had many friends and clients say to me……time is rushing by, we are sheltering at home, and I’m afraid when this all lifts – it will be TOO LATE FOR ME to pursue and accomplish my goals. Well…..for those of you have followed me over the years, I […]
