“No-Fail” Friday: On to the next
I hope there’s been some celebrating underway for you this past week, regardless of your creed or culture. Even if you’re a member of the Holy Church of Nothing at All, you can at least find your way into a room full of someone else’s punch and cookies. Nothing wrong with that, as there seem

Cautiously optimistic
There’s been something in the air lately, and for some of us, it might seem a little foreign. Many things about this year have made it less than a favorite for everyone, but as 2017 comes to a close, there’s been this rare phenomenon happening…dare I say it? Are some of us actually hearing…good news?

Monday Moment: Open road
It’s always something, isn’t it? Whether it’s clicking through your to-do list or reaching for your loftiest goals, the path is never completely smooth. It’s anything from mildly annoying to completely deflating, depending on the size of the block and the state of your mind. That last part is exactly the thing, though. What if

Monday Moment: It’s not you, it’s me
Don’t take this the wrong way, ok? Thing is, it’s not about you. I mean, for you it is, but for most other people, it’s not. How much time do you spend thinking about what someone meant by something they said or did, or even more so, following a whole, imaginary narrative in your mind

“No-Fail” Friday: Paper trail
(Real quick sidebar before we get started: did you know I’m doing one-on-one sessions now? Check it out, if that’s your speed…) We took a little detour into new terrain this week, didn’t we? Wasn’t sure that was possible after more than two years of posting three times a week, but you know, that’s how

Spending power
What are the three topics everyone tells you to never bring up in “polite” company? Religion, yeah, because that means something different – and often deeply important – to everyone. Then there’s politics, which at this moment is a subject with a lot of wires and a short fuse. (I’ve talked before, however, about the
Monday Moment: Mixed messages
To be or not to be…a consultant. A banker. A non-profit manager. A brand management guru. A startup prodigy. None of the above. All of the above. If you have a life that allows you to consider even one of these options as a realistic path – let alone to be confounded by the possibility that any
