Collaborative Transitions Coaching

Love As An Expression

The following is the seventeenth practice of Occupy Life: One Step At A Time, practices for living life to it’s fullest, regretting nothing and stepping into the glory of who you came here to be. It is appropriate for today as we celebrate Valentine’s Day, our National Day of Love, and I wanted to share [...]

Patience – One More Time

The bank sent my husband a debit card the other day because he went to cash a check and the debit card he had in his wallet was expired. He doesn’t use a debit card. He didn’t know the pin number. So they graciously decided to send him another card. The card was addressed to [...]

Electronic Vision Boards

For all of you creative people who like making vision boards, or treasure maps, I’ve been playing with a new website that allows you to do it electronically – in a variety of areas of your life. It has sparked my imagination, and I am intrigued. There is an element of social media to it [...]

You Are Perfect Just The Way You Are

(Gasp) ”No, I am not!” This is the reaction I get from almost all my clients when I share this with them. We often go in one of two directions after that. Once I explain the statement (why, oh why, must I?), they either sit there with tears running down their face, or they argue [...]

A Crisis of Caring: Opportunities to Help

Several weeks ago, I was asked to participate in a lunch-n-learn at the Lincoln Food Bank. Just prior to the lunch, Alynn Sampson, BackPack Coordinator, took us on a brief tour of the facility. During that tour, she spoke with pride of the work they are doing within the community, and with great sadness about [...]

Pop Culture and Souls

I started reading a philosophy book a couple weeks ago. Now, some will roll their eyes and shake their head when they read that sentence, but I must tell you that I’m enjoying it and learning at the same time. It isn’t necessarily an easy read, but the references are allowing me to enter into [...]

The Power of Curiosity in Leadership

Our family has always been very curious, especially in regard to exploring the unknown – but perhaps that is the definition of curiosity, isn’t it? So, as I started preparing the weekly Occupy Life Step on Curiosity, I couldn’t resist sharing my experiences over the last week in this blog. I am very lucky to have a [...]

Embracing Inclusiveness – Part One

This week I gave a talk on diversity to the Lincoln Food Bank as part of their lunch ‘n learn series. I was asked to do this by a friend of mine, who has asked for my help many times in doing presentations, serving on panels, and facilitating group discussions. The topic: LGBT. Now for [...]

Book Review:Introvert’s Guide to Success in Business and Leadership

As a coach, I often run across extroverts who don't "get" their introverted colleages, and disparage them as leaders. It's when we look at the strengths that introverts bring to the table, and how that fits into the overall development of the team, that we make progress on celebrating them as leaders.

OWS: Maybe It Is A Rant, Or It Could Be A Musing

We are upset. We are angry. We are protesting. We are the 99%. We are victims of the 1%. Really? What if we did it to ourselves?
