A great example of a courageous leadership move. Taking a pause to get curious. Yes, people got upset and made assumptions, but she ensured she could stand in her integrity and that her work aligned with her values.

Why I paused the podcasts.

I've set a goal to read at least 75 books in 2022. This one will probably be read more than once (counted once). It's important that we have the language to connect in our human experience, and yes we need to be able to do this at work too!

'Tis the season for gratitude. It's nearly Thanksgiving day here in the U.S. and I'm seeing lots of posts and references to having an 'Attitude of Gratitude.' If you spent the fall with us working through the book The Gifts of Imperfection, Dr. Brené Brown, then you know it's not an attitude but a PRACTICE that we need to feel grateful.

Gratitude and Joy build our reserves for when things are hard. If we live in scarcity and fear then when things are hard, we have nothing to pull from. When we PRACTICE gratitude and joy we have a well to draw from when things are hard.

It's the perfect week to begin to build your gratitude practice. Will you join us in listing 3 things at the beginning of the day you are grateful for (can even be waking up, a deep breath, etc.) and 3 more things at night before bed.

When you get in the habit of recognizing the good in your world you will see more of it. You will more easily see the joy. This can be especially helpful as we enter in to the full holiday season when stress can loom. Many will visit with family members who have different beliefs or politics, stress over the perfect gifts, food, or finances. Starting now and building up your gratitude practice will give you the foundation to be resilient through the stresses that pop up in the next few weeks.

This works at work too! You can jot down three things you are grateful for at the start and end of your day. Try it for a few weeks and see how you feel. Let us know if anything changes.

You've spent years at this company/in this role and it's time to move on... now what?

How do you make the transition with integrity?

Many of my client coaching calls have centered around transitions lately. Leaders are moving to new roles in new organizations looking for new challenges and growth. We've all heard about the 'great resignation' and the ...

Have you identified your calling?
Great article on what it looks like to fight for your calling and it’s not passive!

You don’t “find your calling,” you fight for it — and other lessons from people who found their passion (sometimes late in life).

Is the ladder leading to somewhere you want to be? In the past there were expectations on leaders around what they would give up to climb the ladder. Is that changing? Are we getting closer to having the personal AND professional integration we desire?

Susan Cain, author of the book Quiet posted an image on social media recently that I just can't get out of my mind. I think that's because I needed to see it and process it. The image is a tall ladder with a lot of rungs...
