I am filled with fear about this next part of my journey. But, ironically, I am not filled with fear about the arrival of Hurricane Irma. Maybe it’s the fear of the unknown. I lived through Hurricane Andrew in 1993, and I know the devastation that is possible. I am not suggesting that I am […]
Your brand has a story. You are a part of that story. The days of hiding behind the corporate ladder are no longer. Everyone is watching. Even if you are an employee, an intern, or just a temp. You represent the company you work for. With your LinkedIn profile, and your name tag, and your […]
We live in a world of edges. An unexamined life, is worth examining. The edges are here for us to explore. Not for us to avoid. Right — Left Good — Evil Easy — Difficult Give — Take Real — Fake New — Traditional Fast — Slow Cheap — Expensive Pleasant — Offensive Innovative — Proven Risky — Safe However, exploring these edges is not recommended if we’re looking for approval. We’re not encouraged to explore beyond […]
You want to know how to attract the best talent? Here’s a newsflash: Millennials are no different than the Baby Boomers, Gen X or Gen Y’s youth of yesterday.

Since reading Icarus Deception, by Seth Godin in 2012, I have been forcing myself to stop dancing with the Lizard Brain (aka the Resistance) and to look for ways to make myself stronger, more resilient, and willing to do the work required to get outside of my comfort zone. In March of this year (2017), […]
I was thinking about the things I want to accomplish in the next 5 years. Growing my business, and developing my skills so that I can begin to spread my message to a wider audience. I believe I have the ability, I know I have the passion, but there is one thing holding me back. I […]
My Aunt, Elena. Anyone who knows her has learned something from her — that love is the most endearing gift ever given to man (and woman). When I was a teenager, I got into trouble. I was sent to live with Elena and my uncle Willy, who is also another loving soul. They are both so blessed, and […]
Invite Yourself When you are considering the work others are doing, you may find yourself feeling left out. I remember that feeling well.
