It’s a New Year and…

And just like that, a new year has begun. I hope you took some time to reflect on 2024 and think about 2025. If you haven’t, block some time on your calendar to ponder two questions: In 2025, what do you want more of, and what do you want less of? Keep it simple. Here […]
How are you using AI?

I consider myself an early adopter, but since I don’t own any Bitcoin and didn’t start using AI daily until last month, maybe I am not that much of an early adopter. Based on a human recommendation from an Executive Coach I know and trust, I started using the AI tool built into Zoom for […]
How Good Are You at Hiring?

How good Are You At Hiring? Before we get into hiring, I have a different question for you. How much empathy do you have for yourself and your team? Do they feel seen, heard, and valued, or are they there solely to drive success for the organization? I hear awful stories about how people are […]

When starting a new job or getting a new boss, one of the most important things we can do for ourselves and our future success is “get on the same page” with the other person. Many clients I coach struggle to align with new bosses or team members because communication is difficult. We are all […]
How Are Your Doing With?

The other day, I was on my monthly Zoom call with four colleagues with whom I studied at Columbia University to get my Executive Coaching certification. Our Columbia Mastermind Group has been together for over five years, exploring professional and personal development, sharpening our coaching skills, and examining what gets in the way of forward […]
What Are Your Doing to Develop Professionally?

I didn’t realize I had so much to unpack!” That is how a new client ended our first coaching session recently. Partnering with professionals who want to develop their skills is one of the things I most enjoy doing, especially when clients are hungry to get to the next level. Having a thought partner brings […]

I enjoy researching relevant topic areas and creating workshops that bring the subject to life. The other day, I tackled authenticity and authentic leadership and had the privilege of testing the content with 19 professionals with diverse backgrounds and experience levels for Charleston Leaders, a local non-profit.
