Meditate with Purpose! It Works!

The phrase for the week is "Meditation Works.”

Begin the week by tapping into the spiritual you! The answers you seek will be revealed. Be open.

What I like best about meditation is it can be like a mini vacation without leaving home. Because you must focus and quiet your mind, you eventually reach a higher level of awareness and inner calm. I was surprised to learn that you can meditate anywhere and at any time. I find it hard to meditate unless it is perfectly quiet, but others can meditate amidst utter chaos.

There are countless techniques for meditating, find one that works for you and practice each day this week. If you meditate regularly, consider taking your meditation to the next level and go deeper than you have in the past.

I meditate with purpose to connect with all knowing voice within.

Your Network Can Send You a Life Line!

The phrase for the week is "Invest in Your Network” Thought I'd keep the investment theme going another week. On this day when taxes are due, I'd like to remind you that investments in your network are also due! Too often I speak with young and senior professionals who invest little or no time in building and expanding their network. It is usually during a personal or professional crisis when the alarm sounds and they realize they have no network. They are all alone. When you have built a thriving network, you’ll know. You are privy to information that hasn’t gone public yet or perhaps, never will. You are smarter than your peers because you have a body of knowledge and expertise that you can tap into with a quick phone call or email. You are the go-to person for counsel and information. People want you on the team. How do you build or expand your network? Begin with securing a mentor (see March 11, 2019 blog post). It doesn’t have to be some

Strive for Excellence!

The phrase for the week is "Strive for Excellence” What exactly does that mean and how will I know I’ve achieved it? Good question! You can go back as far as you’d like…think about a time when you either led or were part of something that swirls joyously in your head for months or years--having children or getting married doesn’t count. You know you gave y our best when years later, you are still beaming with pride at just the thought of it! Could you imagine having that feeling each day? How about once a week? Once a week is absolutely doable. When you achieve a high level of excellence on a daily basis, and it becomes habit, then you’re going to find success greeting you at every turn. Know where your sweet spot is and be purposeful, deliberate. Strive for Excellence. I strive for excellence in all I do each and every day.

Welcome to My Leadership Blog!

I don’t have to tell you that thinking outside the box is critical to success in today’s bustling world. As busy leaders, it is a daunting task to find the time to strengthen our leadership skills, attend to our family and contribute in a meaningful way to our community. Often we feel overwhelmed and find it difficult to set priorities when, so it seems, everything is a priority. Yet, we suck it up and move ahead, not sure if the problem is “us” or “them.” Certainly, we can all agree that working harder doesn’t always get the desired results. Throughout my 38 years as a public relations and business strategist and executive coach, I’ve observed that sometimes it is “us” and sometimes, it is “them.” Recently, I reflected on all I learned over the years as a student of human behavior and was compelled to write the blog I wish I could have read 30 years ago. I have a personal library filled with books on leadership, emotional intelligence, coaching and the like.
