I have a friend who's relationship was rocky for years. She is a powerful executive coach who is asked to speak on leadership world-wide. When she met her boyfriend, he was the marketing VP for a well-known global corporation. During their relationship, he moved on to creating his own consultancy. Their travels and changes in their lives made for a bumpy relationship.
Once, while visiting my friend, we made a quick
A Roof of Hope

“…here’s what I’ve decided: the very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof. “ ~ words from the character Hallie in Animal Dreams
It’s not all about the winning
I live in Phoenix, Arizona, home of the Arizona Cardinals football team. Karl, my life partner, is from Philadelphia. We went to the playoff game this weekend. He wore his Philadelphia Eagles hat. At the end of the game, there was a pile of cups, not all completely empty, that Cardinals fans threw at him. Where's the love man?
We like rooting for the winning team and harassing the "others." I
Will you forgive me?
Sorry if you wanted to hear my ICF presentation. I was so happy when I figured out how to link audio to my blog posts that I didn't read what formats it would accept. If you want a copy of the presentation, respond to this post and I will email it directly to you. Another reminder of when my enthusiasm, and impatience, give me trouble.
I would love to share a

I took my partner, Karl, to Kauai for his 50th birthday. We celebrated by standing at the top of a 800-foot waterfall. Fabulous!! Yet hiking to that spot, and on a slippery trail on the Na Pali coast, I had a chance to observe some of my quirky high-achiever behavior.
While hiking, when I am in front I tend to hike at a fast clip, maybe too fast since I'm pretty
How to Stop Worrying
Lately, the topic of conversation has been discussing how bad the economy is going to get and debating when the sky will surely fall. So why do we worry so much more than spend time being grateful for what we have? It's primal, and men worry differently than women.
THE TENDENCIES: In my last post, I told you that women use both sides of their brains more than men when they

While listening to the conversations around the table at Thanksgiving, I was reminded that there is one physical difference in the brain between men and women that affects our conversations. The bridge that connects the right and left frontal lobes is much thicker in women than in the brain of men.
THE RESULT:
Women multitask better than men. Not only can we work on one thing at a time, we can
Time to be recognized
Thank you to all the coaches who showed up in my session at the ICF conference to hear about my research on the current generation of high achieving women in the workplace. My heart pumped wildly as over 200 women raised their hand declaring they are a part of this somewhat misunderstood and mostly mismanaged generation. When I defined who they are and how they differ from the generation of
