In the Upcoming New Year....what will be Different?
As we end 2024 and begin 2025, most of us have grand and exciting plans to make this new year the best year yet. And yet, many times we have already broken our resolutions by the second week of January! (Yes…. that is true:)! So, as we embark on 2025, I was intrigued by a…
Two Exciting Annoucements
Loyal Followers, I am excited to make 2 announcements for this month of Thanksgiving! Finally, my trilogy of books is out on AUDIO! I have personally recorded all three books (my southern accent and all!) For those of you who have not read them, or don’t know about them, here are a few details. Would…
The Non-Negotiable for Each of Us
So, this week is a vital week for all Americans. Regardless of political affiliation, we have a sacred responsibility to allow our voice to be heard through exercising our right to vote…men AND women, since 1920. And yes – that is one important responsibility we each share. Yet, that is not the only non-negotiable. The…

In fact, in one aspect of my business, using provocative questioning is the cornerstone of being an effective leadership coach and executive consultant. It is NOT about me having all the…
Pressing the Pause Button - Mid-Year (and possibly Mid-Life)
As we enter the month of July (hard to believe how fast this year is going!), I wanted to share a few perspectives which have impacted my life, especially in the past few years. These are particularly relevant for those of us over a certain age, who may need a reboot or even a re-direction…
Alignment - My Definition and How to "Get There"
Twenty years ago, I founded my company Alignment, Inc. because I was (am) so passionate about this philosophy. And I was not alone.
