Leadership is a power.
Leadership is an honor.
So, by logic, power and honor are synonymous, right? (My philosophy professors would be so proud!) Seriously though, my point here is that what’s really next for leadership development is learning how to harness the power of leadership as a force for wholesome, honorable, good in our teams, organizations and the world at large- to affect a new gold standard...More

Not everything that matters can be measured. Einstein
In the age of metric obsession, this revelation by Einstein is counter-intuitive to the dominant thinking and behavior we see today in organizations. Data, analytics, metrics- data fluency and having a distinct "data-orientation" are what is valued. All decisions must be "data-driven" and based on data. Data is critical, yes, but CLOs (Chief Learning Officers), is this obsession shrouding...More

Micro-kindnesses are frequent, brief verbal and behavioral intentional, good, positive and uplifting attitudes, words or actions toward other human beings that communicate love, respect, hope, encouragement, consideration, positivity, harmony and peace.

When it comes to the L /D (Learning and Development) space, there are many fads and trends that come and go. Because L/D is often viewed as the "fix it" center of organizations, all problems in the organization suddenly become and default to a "training issue". This is wildly untrue and unfair and, as a result...More

Time Management is OUT & Productivity is IN. Time management is an illusion. You can't "manage" time. But you can manage productivity! I invite you to start thinking about time in a new way- within a new dimension of... results! When you shift your thinking about time in this way you start to move faster and...More

Take a moment and feel your own beautiful precious heart. The rhythmic beats, the strong energy, the feeling of pure love- both a spectacular mystery & miracle. It is part science and part wonder. It feels good to be centered there. It provides peace, hope, excitement, joy- and answers. It's the center of our...More

"Purpose-driven" has been so widely overused and misused, that it is truly very unfortunate. "Oh yes, we are leading edge- purpose-driven- yes we have it in our mission statement and all employees know about it- it's in the policy!” I literally cringe when I hear this- I actually feel a crushing sensation. Because, so often...More

Anyone who knows me knows that one of my favorite expressions is "let's build forward". I say it a lot... and I mean it! So many times I have coached leaders on being aware of how they are contributing to the team. The best teams, whether a board of directors, an internal scrum team, a working group, a...More

Learning transformation only happens when learning is acquired, as I like to call it, so deeply within the DNA... the living molecules of the learner that it viscerally becomes one with their very being. Wow! That is very powerful! Some learning, unfortunately, falls very very dismally short of meeting this goal...More

We are entering a new phase of executive learning and leadership development- a new frontier...a new evolution, I believe, of human beings... as a species. Leadership is evolving past the finite limits of fiscal reward. Leadership is calling us to be more, to be brighter- to expand. This expansion requires a new thinking and...More
