A couple of weeks ago I wrote about mentoring and got lots of feedback about the need for it. So in the spirit of adult learning, I am going to lead by example and be vulnerable by sharing something that happened to me. Last week, after delivering an all-day corporate workshop, I sent my usual satisfaction […]
I’ve left my blog post to the last minute because I’m feeling uninspired. Recently I’ve had a few clients land really amazing jobs and promotions, and that’s exciting. But I also have a few right now who are so talented and have amazing work experience, but are waiting longer than they’d like to land the […]
15 years ago I knew I wanted a career shift. I shared with a close friend that I wished my mom had had a corporate career so she could be a mentor to me. And my friend reminded me that she was. When my mom was 40, she went back to school, finished college and […]
The more we go, the more I hear people say, “Let’s face it, work-life balance is a myth.” And yet the more I work with people, the more I see that they are exhausted and need a little peace. There are all sorts of remedies: Meditation, yoga, vacation. And while those are all a necessary […]

More than once in my professional life, I’ve made a big change. Those were usually scary “moments” that were months, even years, in the making. Going for something big takes courage, and it takes support. This Wednesday I will be joining my friend and colleague, Rick Tamlyn, for his Jump Start Your Bigger Game event in New York and would […]
Happy New Year-ish. On Monday, I wrote about the gap between New Year expectations and sometimes not feeling prepared to meet those expectations. When it’s freezing cold and the holidays have left us tired, the thought of making your next career move can feel like crossing the North Pole – a vast expanse and no clear milestones. […]
My husband shared this article with me. Probably because it reminded him of vacation with my French family and how frustrating it can be to figure out what is actually going on. And while the article is about personal life communication, the same dynamic happens at work: our beliefs about how things are supposed to be, the “shoulds” drive […]
