It’s Coming!
“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire….” News flash – the holidays are coming! Yes it was just Halloween – next – Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas and National Fruitcake Day. In addition to these joyous occasions – throw in year-end, budgeting, reporting on your goals, performance appraisals, holiday parties, your childrens’ holiday parties, decorating the house, shopping for food, presents, snacks, long lines, short tempers, weird relatives, saying yes, no or maybe – using “I’ll try” a little too often. It adds up to one big stress ball – UGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
I’m devoting my blogs in November… Continue reading
I Choose
Do you ever get overwhelmed and feel like you don’t have control? It can happen so quickly and easily. Phones are ringing, texts are coming in, your calendar is full, crises seem to come from everywhere, and people come into your office and say – do you have a minute?

The strongest way to build trust, relationships and reputation is by doing what we… Continue reading
Are we there yet?
It seems that many articles and books are only about the future and don’t talk about right now.

It’s so easy to fall into the habit of living in what life “will be like” that it’s hard to see what life actually is.
I challenge you to take some time and write down what your life is like because YOU ARE THERE NOW – yes indeed. Here’s what I came up… Continue reading
Ryder Cup!
My husband and I had the opportunity to attend the Ryder Cup in Chicago over the weekend. It was a volatile golf tournament for all involved – spectators and players. For those not familiar with the Ryder Cup, here’s a brief background.
It is held every other year, between two twelve member teams of professional golfers, one from the United States the other from Europe. The tournament is match, not stroke play, over three days. The first two days the teams play foursomes in the morning and the afternoon, with sixteen points up for grabs.
After… Continue reading
