Posted on April 1, 2014 Leave a Comment
In a Gallup research poll only 36% of women in business self-identified with the word “leadership”. What do you think is the reason for this? I believe, women define “leadership” different than the world defines leadership. The world teaches us that a “real leader” has a platform, a following, a stage. Think of CEO, Presidents, […]

There are places in our heart that are only revealed when something is striped from us. A relationship, a title, a physical ability, our beauty, our mind… We have a choice in how we respond. We can respond with pride – with the cover-up of perfectionism or by giving into depression. Or we can […]

A cow for a handful of magic beans… This is what I call courageous leadership. Courageous leadership is the willingness to step out of the crowd, face your fears and take a risk on the unknown. Courageous leaders are willing to sell a cow for a handful of magic beans. Most of us are familiar […]

In the movie, Pursuit of Happyness, Christopher Gardner (played by actor Will Smith) had a dream. A true story, the film is the quintessential […]

I couldn’t take my eyes off of it; it drew me as I wondered what had been inside this ice blanketed building that caught on fire on January 03, 2014.
