Adaptability:
Managing Your Energy to Mitigate Burnout

As the flowers emerge after a long cold winter, there’s a lot of preparation that’s happening below the ground that we don’t see or even appreciate.

3 Ways to Make Your New Year Resolutions ACTUALLY Happen

Let’s face it, the beginning of a new year seems like it’s a blank slate. We’re sort of programmed into thinking that we should have lots of resolutions and new plans, and make sure that we’ve got that clean slate. Mapped it out just exactly the way we want our year to go. The fact is that only 8% of people actually do what they say they were going to do. By about mid-January everybody’s fallen off the wagon

Keep Your Focus and Create Your Big Word

Focus, attention and time are all very scarce resources. We live in a world where change, complexity and an overwhelming amount of choice, information, data and opinion bombard us on a daily basis. It’s so easy to spin out in busyness and confusion, so it’s important to have something to anchor you.

That’s where the power of a theme, focus or “Big Word” comes in.

Mastering Change:
4 Principles to Help You Align Your Energy and Focus

How to Measure Success In a Way That Really Matters

Truly, I love the holiday season. Celebrating, relaxing with family and friends, appreciating the year and happily making plans for the New Year. At least that’s the theory.

Learning and Leading:
3 Lessons from The Stage

One of my greatest joys to be part of the Riverdale Players, a local community musical theatre groups that has performed together over the past 6 years in support of an international children’s charity. This rag-tag band of amateur theatre aficionados brought down the house in this year’s production of “Naughtyham”. Imagine a mash-up of Robin Hood and the Merry Men, meeting up with Monty Python’s Spamalot, with a dash of Saturday Night Fever and some of your favorite children’s fairy tale characters, like Rapunzel or Little Red Riding Hood, sprinkled in, and then you’ll be in the general vicinity of the plot of this year’s theatrical offering!
