When we’re fully present and able to acknowledge our accomplishments, we fuel ourselves to do the next thing. When my children were little, I always talked to them about filling their “Love Tank” when they were feeling grouchy and unhappy. I would say things like, “It sounds like your love …
What’s your story?
Listening to the speakers at the Emerging Women conference, I was impressed by their stories. Brené Brown told a story she’d never shared before about something that happened during the filming of her appearance on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. Arianna Huffington talked about her collapse from exhaustion. (Are YOU getting …
It’s Okay to Be Here Now

Treasure Hunt: Finding the Golden Nuggets of Leadership
If everyone were truly living in the present, and fully aware of following their natural instincts and talents, leadership would just be a natural thing that happens. When we clear the gunk, the stuff we’re still attached to from the past, we can find the golden leadership nuggets that are …

The Power of AND
You know how it is, you intend to work on a project, but you get stuck. And it doesn’t happen today. Again. Inside your head, you’re saying things like: I have to write that email, but I feel stuck and don’t know what to say. I’m going to write …

Just how deep are you?
When I was growing up, my family had a tradition of our celebrating our 12th birthday by taking a trip with our dad. This was our chance to spend significant one-on-one time with him. For my trip, Dad and I decided to go to a sailing school on the Gulf …
