The Place Between Retreat and Real Life

Life doesn’t often move in neat, predictable chapters. Sometimes it feels more like stepping from one season into another without much warning — caregiver, speaker, leader, daughter, teacher — all within a matter of days. I actually love my life this way. It’s an adventure. And sometimes it’s exhausting if I haven’t filled my cup. […]

Give to Gain but Self-Care First

V-Day Prep As Valentine’s Day approaches, I find myself thinking less about cards and candy—and more about the quiet, meaningful ways that we love, give, and show up for others in our lives. This past weekend, I spent three hours with the kiddos watching them make Valentine cards for one another. Construction paper, markers, stickers, […]

What I learned from My Fair Lady

Stress Relief There was a day last week when I was feeling really stressed out. Too many technical glitches were happening, and I was feeling overwhelmed. Paul was out doing his group at the prison for the evening, so I began scrolling through movies to watch, and when I saw it, I knew I had […]

Slowing Down and Being Happy

I hadn’t planned to be slowing down at this point in my life but I’m loving it so much that I thought I would share. Since I went on that silent retreat 3 weeks ago I’ve been so incredibly relaxed. Almost too relaxed according to my mind. But I don’t much listen to that inner chatter anymore. […]

Connection and Growth

You know the best thing about my job? Meeting with people. It’s what I like most about coaching, training, and podcasting and even when I worked in my corporate job . . . I loved going to meetings. So many people laugh at that. I’ve heard clients, and people on social media, complain about having […]

My Silent Retreat Experience

Meditation is the Way On the way up to the retreat center 2 weeks ago, I turned off my radio for the last half hour of the journey. I felt jumpy. All the noises of the car and the outside world that I don’t normally hear were jarring and strange. Maybe it was my nerves too. I […]

Be the silence

Embark on an Inner Journey I took a leap of faith in myself. I decided to take a spot in a Silent Retreat for a week. I’m leaving mid-afternoon today, heading up to the Insight Meditation Society Retreat Center in Barre, MA. There will be no talking. No cell phones. No books or reading. No writing or […]

How to Manage a Micromanager

Free advice on how to manage a micromanager I am baffled by micromanagers because it just doesn’t make sense as to why they need to be breathing down the necks of the people who do good work for them. As it turns out, this perspective is only ½ of the story. Oftentimes, micromanagers are getting […]

Squeeze out your sponge daily

EQ at Work One of the first leadership conferences I organized at work, was in 2001, and we had a full day booked with 5 speakers. The audience was about 500 corporate leaders across Technology, Legal, Finance & Human Resources departments. I remember the keynote speaker was talking about emotional resilience and said something like this: Think […]
