You’re a pretty smart person. No, don’t try to play humble and say you aren’t. You are, and you know it. Maybe you’re really smart, or even a genius. Regardless, you’re probably better at or happier doing some things over others, and with certain activities, you’re lucky enough to get both. The point is, whether […]
You’re getting it all the time, whether you realize it or not. Formally, and informally. Directly, indirectly, and 360 degrees. It’s a natural and necessary part of human interaction — and apparently, also professional existence. Just because it’s everywhere doesn’t mean you’re paying attention to it, though. You may ignore it, dismiss it, or even

We’re back with more Real Mindful conversations, beginning this month with Eric Schneider, who recently joined the Harvard Business School Class of 2021. Eric is an engineer turned consultant and non-profit founder (free GMAT mentorship??

Hey, friends. Yeah, I know. It’s been a minute. We’ve both been busy, though, and you’ve had plenty going on so I bet you didn’t even miss me. Hah, j/k I know you did. 😉 I missed you too! I promise it wasn’t wasted time, though. I’ve been up to some cool things and I’m
In theory, this is the time of year when we all get to kick back. Various traditions around the world celebrate holidays, we welcome the start of a new calendar year, offices slow down or close for a little while, and we’re supposed to quietly retreat into quality time with family and friends.

Hi friends! It’s been an intense couple of weeks, and you might be wondering what’s going on over here. Lots of changes! BUT, that doesn’t mean I haven’t had anything to say. I’ll be back this week with another post here, but in the meantime, you may be missing out on your Monday Moments and
There’s been a theme in my work at as a coach and an instructor over the past week or so. Even though it’s summer, which is supposedly the most relaxed time of the year, many of us are feeling just the opposite. Life seems a little dialed up this summer, for lots of different reasons.
