It’s A Wonderful Life -Tale of Two Georges

What do George Bailey and George H.W. Bush have in common and what can we learn from them? First, let’s step back in time to 1945. George Bailey is the lead character in It’s a Wonderful Life, starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, as his wife, Mary. A holiday classic set on Christmas Eve in […]

Living The Dream-2 Years Later: Mindset

It was two years ago that I came to Southern California for my “trial visit,” to check it out, find a place to live and prepare for the big adventure. I’d lived in Kansas City for over 20 years and Green Bay for almost 20 years before that. I told my New England family that […]

Consultant Practices What She Sells – Part 3 of 3-Walking the Talk

Reflection and Debrief As my year as Chair of the Chapter Leadership Committee for the National Speakers Association comes to a close, I am brimming with emotions.  For those of you don’t who know me well, it doesn’t take much for me to “puddle up,” as my dad used to say – or get teary […]

Leadership, The Mountain Lion and Intentions

There are thousands – maybe millions, of opinions, books and white-papers about leadership. Yet often, traditional resources rinse and repeat the same old concepts.  I like to look to disparate sources for new insights on a topic. Animal Medicine. According to Jamie Sams and David Carson The Discovery of Power Through the Ways Of Animals, […]

Endings and Beginnings

In case you didn’t read or act on the recommendations of this blog a couple weeks ago – there’s still time to reflect on 2016 and prepare for 2017. And since I am now a Southern California girl, I’m going to suggest a somewhat “new-age” way of reconciling 2016 and preparing for 2017. According to […]

Deja Vu – All Over Again

As I was cleaning out files, I found one of my articles that was published in June 2004.  Here it is with some slight editing that was specific to the time period in which it was written. Ok – I’ll admit it – I’m a management culture geek. I can’t stop thinking about the so-called […]

Just Because You Can

Sigmund Freud emphasized the importance of the unconscious mind, including our dreams… and a primary assumption of Freudian theory is that the unconscious mind governs behavior to a greater degree than people suspect. So for all you amateur psychologists, analyze this: I’m standing, waist deep, in the middle of a large pond or lake, with all my […]

Let’s Be Fair

California and San Francisco employment laws are some of the most complex in the nation. The recent Fair Chance Ordinance that went into effect on August 13 requires employers with more than 20 employees to limit the use of criminal history information and follow certain procedures and restrictions when inquiring about and using conviction history […]

Want To Motivate People? Start By Looking In The Mirror.

What motivates people? This is a really great question. Motivated To Leave… It reminds me of a ritual I actually witnessed in my first job upon graduating from college. I was a supervisor for a market research company in Wisconsin. Most of the employees could tell you whether a 12 ounce tube of Colgate sold […]

Feeling Stuck? Relax into Motivation

I wanted to write about how to motivate yourself…. but I just couldn’t get motivated to write about that. Not only was I not motivated to write about self-motivation, I wasn’t motivated about much of anything. Have you ever had days or periods of time like that?   Things aren’t great and they are bad, either. […]
