One of the hardest parts of personal growth is managing self-limiting beliefs. It’s not what you do that matters, but who you become in the process. It doesn’t matter what company you work for, what job you do, if you’re a stay at home mom or dad, or even if you’re in between opportunities. Making […]
If you hired a consultant or “coach” to help you with your company, what would be the first thing they would change? What are the really obvious and maybe not so obvious things that just came to mind? From time to time it’s good to get another perspective. Not because you aren’t smart, but because […]
Extroverts have a one step process for thinking and speaking. They speak while attempting to form their point of view. An extrovert is often fast paced. They process information out loud because they have an external thinking process. When you ask an Extrovert a question, what do you typically get? You get an answer. Eventually […]

I love a good debate. I actually get nervous when everyone agrees with what the “boss” is saying without pushing back. My experience has been that some people don’t understand the value diverse opinions can bring to the situation. They see the push back as antagonistic, disrespectful, and/or slowing the group down. Perhaps it can slow […]
No matter how old I am, at times my parents still think I’m 8, maybe even 18. Recently, I heard my Mother say to my father, “She won’t eat brussels sprouts, she hates them.” I’ve also heard her say other things that perhaps were true when I was a kid but are no longer valid. […]
I didn’t say hello? I didn’t even see you. I didn’t respond to your Facebook post? I never even read it. I didn’t call you back? Was I supposed to? I didn’t comment on your email? Is that the one that was so long I had no idea what the point was when I finished? […]
