My friend and colleague Leesa Barnes (she is the THE social media guru in my world and a speaker at Profit, Purpose & Beyond 2008) along with most of my very net savvy friends have been raving about how much fun Twitter is. I’ve been resisting. Strongly resisting. Sounds hard. Sounds time consuming. What can […]
We had a sudden death in our family this week. My family - aunts, uncles, cousins are very close. I am friends with my cousins - I’ve even shared apartments with them. We’ve been in each other’s weddings.
So, when my aunt died this week, it was hard. Though she was old, it was unexpected - […]
I am an Olympic Junkie. We’ve watched the Olympics every night and fired up the coffee pot with extra-leaded every morning because of the late hours. My soon-to-be 6 year old son sits in front of the television wearing his “medals” from soccer and orchestrates pretend medal ceremonies during the commercials. So, we’ve seen a […]
Wow! We had a great Open Coaching call earlier this week. These are my favorite kinds of calls because leaders can bring their biggest challenge to the table and we do some live on the spot coaching to get them unstuck and moving forward.
I thought I would review a handful of the challenges we worked […]
One of the keys to innovation is looking around and see what the best companies are doing - companies OUTSIDE of the direct selling world - and translate it into your business.

Not exactly a formula for well-executed success. Success can happen […]
This post is going to be short and sweet. Why? Because I’ve been reading and listening a lot lately - and do you know what I keep hearing over and over again?
That our sensory overloaded life is killing us.
Everywhere I turn - Eckhart Tolle, Martha Beck, Julia Cameron, Oprah Winfrey - are all telling us […]
This post is unduly (well, not really!) influenced by Martha Beck (my personal mentor in the world of coaching) and her new book, Steering By Starlight.
Rather than go into all the reason I love this book ( you can read about that in this week’s newsletter), I’d like to share one of her amazingly insightful […]

What is it with numbers? Every magazine, every book title, every everything has a number to it. Can you guess why?
Beause our mind LOVES numbers. We can get our brains wrapped around them. They make things sound doable and sequential….and simple. AND - […]
It happens to the best of us. No matter how much we love what we do, some days we just feel blue. A little discouraged maybe; a little less than enthusiastic. And try as we might to shake it off, it seems the more we work, the more discourages and less enthusiastic we become.
If this […]
