By Definition…
On Tuesday night, I hosted my Leadership Masterclass on Failing Forward (if you haven't signed up for the masterclass already, you'll have another chance to do so in May.) Most people look at Failing Forward and say, "I get it. Fail and then move on," but it's so much...
At All Costs
Happy International Woman's Day! And if you're not a woman, I encourage you to keep reading, primarily because a woman was critical in your existence here on earth. And this post is probably not going in the direction you think it is. I love being a woman (most of the...
Positive Blind Spots
I was watching a video of Julia Lee Cunningham, Associate Professor of Management and Organizations at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. She was discussing positive blind spots. We already know we have blind spots and they are...
Motivational Monday!
Prior to January 1st, I made a commitment/goal to go to yoga every Friday, unless I was out of town—and I have honored that commitment. I have wanted to have a yoga practice for a long time now. I know yoga is good for me. This particular yoga is in my building, so...

What COULD We Do?
Yesterday there was a huge water main break in Hoboken. I used to hear about water main breaks all the time on the news and I never thought twice about it. Well, now that I am living through one, it's a pretty big deal. Here's how it works to the residents: there's no...
Motivational Monday!
I spent the last three days at an in-depth Master Energy Practitioner Refresher Course taught by the exceptional Dr. Terry Lynch. The best decision I ever made, with the help and encouragement from Lynch, was to introduce energy work into my coaching practice...
A Festering Wound
I was talking to a client yesterday about forgiveness. This concept is such a doozy! It's probably the hardest notion for anyone, myself included, to readily accept or to implement. The Latin root of forgive is (for-) "completely" and (give) "to give, grant, allow or...
