Motivational Monday!
I spent the better part of this weekend in Camden, NJ—not something someone says very often, right? I am on the board of UrbanPromise International and this past weekend was our Summit and semi-annual in-person board meeting. I always leave these weekends absolutely...
Friday’s Quote
"Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you." John C. Maxwell My brother-in-law sent me something from LinkedIn about "The Long Game for Personal and Professional Growth, and it was both funny and true. The author, Uzma Bhatti, begins with...
Adam Grant Says…
I was reading an article by Adam Grant about the habits that highly successful people practice on a regular basis. He posted 11 habits and, even though none of these 11 habits flabbergasted me as novel or unheard of, they all held so much weight in their simplicity....
This Is Exactly What I Need
Yesterday was a really long day—great, but long. I had back-to-back meetings, the dog needed to be picked up at the groomer, I was trying to make dinner, and I had a yoga class at 6:30pm that my friend was teaching and I did not want to disappoint. Somewhere around...

People Skills
One of the topics we discussed yesterday at Princeton University was People Skills. I love talking about this because it's so often overlooked. "People Skills" are overlooked because we chalk it up to our innate likability rather than a skillset that needs to be honed...
Trust Issues
I am headed down to Princeton University again tomorrow and part of our discussion will be about trust. I love this topic although I find it quite nebulous. I believe the quote goes something like, "It takes years to build, seconds to breaks, and forever to repair."...
Motivational Monday!
I was headed into New York yesterday to meet some friends for lunch and to see the Broadway show The Cottage. For me, on that rainy day, it was like a shorter version of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. My version was Walk, Ferry, and Bus. The free bus from the Ferry...
