It strikes me that we are all very capable of complaining–about our bosses, our co-workers, our subordinates. We seem to have a knack for pointing out the deficiencies of those who surround us at work and in life. Perhaps our own culture inspires us to look elsewhere for the root of our problems–and I am [...]

In the journey of life, failure is just a stop along the way. Yet, most of us are so intent on inching forward that when we come to this stop we are jarred to our bones–failure has brought us to a dead end that sometimes has the power to catapult us into deep despair. Fear [...]

Yesterday I run into a woman who told me how happy she was and how she was looking at her job with new eyes. At first, she was almost apologetic–she was a little bit self-conscious announcing her happiness! Then she realized I would appreciate her sentiments–what has the world come to if we have to [...]

Too often we think of leaders as those at the very top–a recent article in the McKinsey Quarterly has reminded me that we are all leaders in our life. What kind of life do we lead makes a difference not just to others but to ourselves. According to the experts at McKinsey, successful leaders: 1. [...]

So another Summer is slowly drawing to the end. It went by fast–reminding me that those interminable days of childhood are no longer! As I get older, each day speeds up faster and each Summer dissolves into a new season so quickly that it is hard to keep the memories distinct and engraved in my [...]

Yesterday I asked my friend Doug Leyendecker, a corporate recruiter in Houston, what his advice was for young people who are having a hard time finding a job. Doug is a creative type and I love his ideas–he suggested that young college graduates should head for Mumbai or Shangai and spend a couple of months [...]

This week I was reminded of the power of women–collectively and as individuals. I had the opportunity to attend the Texas Women’s Conference, where 5000 Texan women gathered to hear many speakers. For me, the highlight of the conference was a speech by Ms. Isabel Allende. She reminded us to pursue joy and pleasure in [...]

Recently I was coaching a group of clients on the phone. One of the assignments to one of the people was to stop during the day and breathe. Another assignment was to give herself a pat on the back. I recently heard from the client that these small steps were making her feel less stressed [...]
