We are in the midst of an exciting, nerve racking and pivotal time right now. I see this in the economy, in business, in leadership, in politics, in families, and in peoples’ senses of purpose and personal values. There’s a lot happening. On one hand I notice a lot of complaining, blaming, making excuses, and [...]

Some of the work I do with clients is hard to “put in a box”/get a handle on/make it really tangible. Afterall, when I work with people, everyone’s different, and it’s not like I can say “here is this gadget I’m going to sell you.” Or “here’s exactly what you’ll have when we’re done with [...]

How are you engaging your employees right now? Are you inspiring trust and motivation and internal drive for growth, or are you disempowering them by holding to the stories of fear and domination in today’s economy?

What if the most simple and key principles of effective leadership and engagement were already in your bones and just needed a playful reminder?
At the beginning of the school year, my son’s 2nd grade class established class “ground rules” aka “Rules of Engagement.” These rules were set as guidelines by which they agreed to be [...]
