The Great Secrets of a True Leader
To be most successful, leadership can not be treated simply as a role you play or as a program for middle management, but rather it must be viewed at all levels as a way of "being a leader." This "soft stuff" is hard work, but as a leader you already knew that.
Unemployed? Plan Your Career Now
Our economy is a mess, and we are in uncharted territory. Most everyone is feeling the pinch, especially if they now find themselves unemployed or wonder if they are the next one to lose their job.

Jorge was a young construction worker, sitting near the front of the bus. Natasha was an older lady confined to a wheelchair. She asked him about his orange safety vest, "Where do you get those?"

Natasha thought that a similar vest might protect her as she crossed the street from the bus stop to her house in the evening. Jorge stood up, took the vest off, and presented it to Natasha as a gift.

Summer Hours....Lost in Transition
As much as we may try to control the events in our lives, life sometimes has a mind of it's own. A firm believer in "Summer Hours", a time to work less and play more, this year because of the death of my father, my summer hours have in fact become lost in transition. Reflective of the knowing insights that this significant event and my new family responsibilities have created, I share my memories and the internal quest to find a new semblance of balance, a work in progress as I seek not to become lost in the transistion.

Smart Women Create the Right Environment
This article is a reminder about how important it is to create the “right environment” both internally and externally is we are to live a meaningful life filled with passion and purpose. A cluttered environment creates a cluttered mind. We typically are not as creative as we might be if we have an open, reflective environment.

The “right” Environment is key to living our dreams and reaching our goals.

EVERYTHING THATS BEAUTIFUL IS CRACKED THATS HOW THE LIGHT GETS IN
Leonard Cohen is credited with the above statement. I believe that he has captured the essence of beauty. Beauty is in the nature of our flaws. It is in our reflective self-awareness and acceptance of our imperfections that we discover our true beauty.
Ideas and Actions of a CEO
CEOs are more than action oriented people. They must be reflective, come up with the lead example, determine the lead course and have great faith in the ideal they are promoting. Great leaders of the past are good examples to study for clues as to how to lead, beliefs to possess, action to take, people to care for and earth and land to entrust. The great are given much and from them much is expected. They must be worthy and act determinedly in the position they have been privileged to stand in

Self-Discipline: A Balancing Act
Self-discipline is a balancing act. We are a collection of values, motivations, intentions, fears, potential, abilities, quirks, strengths and stories we tell ourselves. How all of this translates into self-discipline depends upon how aligned we are with our goals and how we balance priorities day to day. The balance you strike is reflective of your personal style of self-regulation. Are you happy with the way you balance your life or do you tend to let things slide a long time before you notice things are out of whack? One thing I notice about people who are content with their ability to regulate themselves is that they are aware of their priorities, they are clear about them, they take responsibility for them, they take time to focus on them and they have a way of balancing competing demands on their time.
