How much are you worth?

Money is expensive. That new job offer that pays alot… That new promotion and raise?   How much of you are they buying? There’s nothing wrong with money (It’s the love of it that throws us off).  That job you were offered might be a great opportunity. It could be all you’ve ever wanted.  Just […]

What bubble will burst next?

Bubble’s burst. We’ve seen the real estate bubble, the internet bubble, the energy bubble, and whatever other bubbles. They over inflated until, under the the value they promised was very different than the actual value provided.  Reality reared it’s ugly head.  The bubbles burst under the pressure that came from reality weighing in. It’s easy […]

Is it time for a little perspective?

The ladies read their visions to the person sitting next to them.  We talked about the visions they wrote and spoke.  One of the women said that she had a hard time believing that she could make her vision a reality.   I asked the group a question.  Who heard a vision that they think […]

Finding Hope

Tears streamed down her cheeks.  She kept reading.  She said she could not believe the words she was reading. I asked her why it was so hard to believe.  She said that no one ever believed in her.  People keep reminding her of what she’s done wrong and how she’s screwed up.  She was scared […]

Do it right. Get it done.

Sometimes I get caught up in trying to making something be right. I’ll look for the perfect image for a presentation. Or the ideal color for a header. It’s easy to get sucked into details. The details could make something perfect if they were right. The value the perfection adds isn’t worth the price of […]

If you don’t do the work, you’ll be stuck living a life that is discouragingly frustrating. That […]

How do I find myself?

I looked at the clock. It was 12:13am. I’d been working for the last 11 hours without a break. I was building a website for a cause I believed in. I lost myself. Time evaporated. I was engaged in solving a problem. Progress was made. I felt good about how I spent my energy as […]

Where’s your resume?

I work with people to help them manage change.  When things go well, they produce results that they weren’t able to produce on their own.  This is a common outcome. I speak to many clients who want to leave their job.  Their obstacle:  Their resume isn’t ready.  They’ll wallow in misery rather than write their […]

Will you let your people resume?

Some companies fire employees they catch working on their resume.   Some let people go when they find their resume on Monster or some other job posting site.  That’s odd to me. Do they want employees who don’t want to work for them?  What kind of service do those employees deliver?  How committed are they […]

Has evolution evolved?

Life started on this planet as single cell organisms. At some point they connected, unified and evolved.  Adaptation created diversity.  Over time, consolidation would favor the stronger adapters. Corporations are people (per the U.S. Supreme Court).   People are single cell organisms. We connect, unify and emerge as corporate bodies. Corporations are the next step […]
