When my kids were small, someone told me to combine acknowledgement of their accomplishments with small challenges just out of their comfort zone. That is how children learn. It makes them feel confident. While adults are not much different, today’s world is not set up that way. We have a more diverse workforce than ever …
Thank you again for all of the wonderful responses about confidence. It has taken time to condense, expand and enhance with some coaching solutions. On a funny note, I wanted to do a bit of research about Confidence. It took about two and a half seconds to discover that there is a major best seller …
Last week’s post on Confidence had an overwhelming response! It seems like we all have strong feelings on the topic. Thank you to everyone for the incredibly thoughtful and varied replies.

The request I seem to get more than any other, from individuals and Human Resources professionals alike, is for greater confidence. For themselves and for their employees.

The deadline is approaching! For years, I have been revolutionizing my clients’ thinking with a tool called the Social Style. This powerful assessment tool helps them project more confidence, engage and motivate employees, improve collaboration, better manage relationships up, down and across, and increase their influence.

This morning before sunrise, I sat in my living room, hiding from my four-year old son. He came out of his room, didn’t see any activity, and went back to bed. Ugh. Am I terrible? No, I just needed my meditation time. Channeling the energy we want to be in, is a fantastic way to …
