DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE IT TAKES TO SPEAK UP?

I’ve been contemplating how difficult it is to speak up and be heard as a woman and was pondering why. I did a little research on two women who found their voices and spoke up. I discovered that they both were able to do this despite some very intriguing circumstances. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain… Let’s begin with Eleanor Roosevelt. One of my favorite quotes from her is: “Speak your mind, even though your voice shakes.” When we think of Eleanor Roosevelt we think “Strong, Smart Woman;” after all she even has US stamps with her image on them. Yet everything …

ARE YOU THE ALPHA OR THE OMEGA IN YOUR CAREER?

Are you familiar with Alpha and Omega energies? If you are like me, perhaps you have ‘heard’ of it but may not know a whole lot about it. When I began to explore this topic – it blew my mind. In work life and in wildlife, there is a “status” and a pecking order whether we realize it or not.

ARE YOU A POWERFUL FEMALE LEADER OR A MAN IN A SKIRT?

March is Women’s History Month. You probably want to stick a needle in my eye after reading the headline, but let me expand upon what I mean. I have spent nearly 20 years in the corporate landscape and what I have observed time and time again is that many women, when they step into a Leadership role, begin acting like a man. They make decisions like their male predecessors. They heartlessly restructure departments and entire companies; and they seem to be void of feelings. It is as if they checked their emotions at the door before entering the building. Shamefully, …

TURN YOUR CAREER PASSIONS INTO ACTIONABLE PLANS

7 Days of “ahhh…” A few weeks ago I went on a Spa vacation that I had been looking forward to for a long time. While I was indulging and enjoying absolute relaxation, I was able to notice all the little beautiful moments that usually pass me by because I am rushing through life, focused on work and attaining my goals. Then I had this amazing realization that some of the best actions can be put in place during these little moments of “ahhh.” I wanted to share my learnings so get out your journals and notebooks. I’m giving you …
