The Most Humiliating Thing I’ve Ever Done!

Actually, I’ve done so many humiliating things that it’s hard to keep track of them all. But this doozy tops the humiliate-her chart!
My main motive for sharing the single most humiliating experience of my entire professional
career is this…
Having already completely and publicly mortified myself, I might as well make certain it wasn’t a wasted experience.  [...]

Today Is The Best Day Ever

Me: “Hey, how’re you doing today?”
Him: “Great. Just great. I woke up today and, boy, does that beat the hell out of the alternative.” LOL.
This was a recurrent conversation I had over many years with a mentor of mine, Ross Anderson. Hearing his words never failed to get my attention. Every single time I’d [...]

You Were Born to Have Impact!

The rumor is true…. I did disappear for the past three weeks. I’ve been cybernating (as in hibernating in cyberland). In no time at all I went from cyber klutz to cyber savvy. For those of you who know me: It’s been transformational.
I have a few more finishing touches to put on my website in [...]

Pink Is The New ….. You!

I double dare you to watch this video without moving your hiney…..

See, I told you you couldn’t do it. Now pass it on and make somebody’s day!

It Takes The Pedal To Get You To The Medal

(continued from yesterday)
Barb was already in coaching when she came to the realization that her career trajectory needed to change course. She’d been wandering through her organization like a five year old in a puddle, yet didn’t understand why she wasn’t getting anywhere.
I told her, “If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you [...]

High-Five Yourself™: What You Need to Know to Get From Here to There

They’re smart, they’re passionate, they’re savvy; they’re the women of Microsoft. And for 75 minutes this month, they were my audience.
I’d like to take you on a short journey with me and share what made this event so special to me, and why it’s the subject of all of my blogs this week.
If we roll [...]

Courage is a decision we make every day.

To be more precise, it’s a decision we make every moment.
There are actually two kinds of courage: instinctive and deliberate. Instinctive actions are, well, instinctive….. like rescuing a child from a burning building or helping a disabled person who’s confronted by a mugger.
Deliberate courage, on the other hand, is an attitude or a frame of [...]

Integrity: When You Do What You Say You're Going to Do

There are few days as celebratory as when I adopted both of my children. Yesterday wasn’t in that category but it was a close runner up in the special department. My first book, Impact! What Every Woman Needs to Know to Go From Invisible to Invincible! was born. As in, delivered. To Microsoft: A spectacular [...]

Entrepreneurs Can Change the World

It’s been almost seventeen years since I went into business for myself. At the time, one of the local banks had launched an ad campaign apparently geared to attract small business owners. Join me, for a moment, as I try to paint as accurate a picture of this ad as I possibly can.
The backdrop of [...]

Marketing and Selling Fun

Fun is a state of mind. In particular, yours. Just ask any 4 year old— although you won’t necessarily find the same thing funny as your little one, watching him or her laugh hysterically over something obviously not-funny will be funny to you.
Fun is where you find it. But that requires looking for it, doesn’t [...]
