Give to Gain: The Power of Sustainable Giving

Celebrating International Women’s Day Tuesday, I had the honor of speaking at a company in Tolland, CT, that was celebrating its female employees for International Women’s Day. The audience was about 35 women (on site), (4 brave men showed up), and others joined in virtually from around the world. The theme of the event this […]

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. […]

Sometimes the Gravy Just Shatters

Managing Expectations: A Holiday Survival Skill Many years ago, it may have been my very first holiday after being married, I was preparing a meal and was determined to get everything right.

Peace begins within

A 40-Year Journey This weekend, Paul and I took our granddaughter, Molly Mae, to a very special place — the Peace Pagoda in Leverett, Massachusetts.

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.

The day I was a heart throb

It started out like any other normal working day but I had a secret. I was going to be a completely different person that day. I was taking on a new identity. I was offered the opportunity to be Larry the Stag. Larry is the mascot of The Hartford Financial Services, Inc., a Fortune 200 company, where […]

Be an excellent role model

Good leadership of others begins with self-leadership, wouldn’t you agree? No one wants to follow a leader who doesn’t practice what they preach. Did you have a parent who told you not to smoke or drink but they were smoking and drinking freely? The best way to teach your children to take care of themselves […]

Do you want to help?

Your contribution matters I remember one of the first things I learned when I got into improving my career once I was in recovery, was that I should volunteer to help in the community. There were lots of opportunities. I have a whole list of them on my resume. One of my favorite memories was […]
