Great leadership begins with the stories you tell yourself. This process I share here is so powerful and critical to leadership.
I open the glass door, and my son’s voice is the first thing I hear. Mind you: the glass door leads to the community center gym…not my house. I mean, so loud for 6:30 am. (Also, there’s a bit of an apple not far from the tree situation here 🙋🏽♀️) Do you do this? Recognize […]
“Make it stop!” I shrieked at Spotify. I don’t even know what the ad was for, but the phrase “New Year. New You.” came through my airpods, and your girl lost it. New Year. New You. What a load of tripe. It’s just a tiny bit insulting, isn’t it…the “new year, new you” phrasing. As […]
“Did you finish your work?” Plopping on my friend’s soft grey couch, I told the group, “Ugh. Not yet. I have all the action steps, the events, and the rest, but I’m struggling with the opening.” “What’s the leadership topic you’re writing about?” As I began to describe simplicity, I giggled. I was falling into […]
“We didn’t think you’d notice the difference,” the guys said when they came back from the store as they put the Schnucks-brand tonic water on the granite countertop. “It’s just like Fever Tree, isn’t it?” Oh, no, gentlemen. No, it is not. Yet, we were all too tired from the week to go back out […]
Ideally, feedback plays a crucial role in self-awareness that moves you from the blindspot space to the open space where change can happen (remember the Johari Window from last month?)

“Some people are concerned about using personality as part of our professional development,” my corporate client shared in a prep call. “Tell me more,” I said (BTW…my all-time favorite conversation continuer is “tell me more.”) “Well, some of our staff who came from another agency had DISC profiles displayed, and their personality profiles were used […]
“Oh, this isn’t good.” The blinking dashboard, clicking sounds, and flickering headlights on my van signaled real trouble. As I pulled into the QuickTrip at dusk, I dreaded turning off the car because I just knew it wouldn’t start again. So stuck in rural north Tennessee, 3 ½ hours from home with my 17-year-old daughter […]
“This is the call I didn’t know I needed,” my client burst out with a huge smile on her face. Janie was part of a group I coach inside a large animal health company that is working to help its people not only gain skills, but also work better together to change the culture. And […]
