I caught myself doing it. 

 

There I was, sitting at my desk, ready to focus and get s*!t done. But my brain? Not quite. Craving a quick dopamine hit, it wandered everywhere except where it needed to be.

Hello and welcome back!  We are coming off a bizarre weather week here in the PNW.  Last Sunday, we lost power due to a wild ice storm and over the course of the following few days I found myself out of routine and feeling a bit out of sorts.  A powerful reminder of the impact the rhythm of our routine can have on how we experience life.  Many of my conversations this week...

Let’s talk about comparison.  A natural, primal behavior we all find ourselves engaging in from time to time.  As with most words, I love to begin with a definition—Comparison: the representing of one thing or person as similar to or like another, an examination of two or more items to establish similarities and dissimilarities.  How do we compare ourselves to...

Hello and welcome back!  Let’s talk about leadership.  In this post pandemic world, there’s a lot that is new and different but today, I’m dishing on what I believe remains unchanged. As our trusted leadership expert, Brenè Brown, reminds us: A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes and has the courage...

Happy New Year and welcome 2022!  3-2-1, let's goooo.  I don't know about you, but I really feel the shift in season from December to January.  As we head into the first week of January and return to routines, schedules, and every day life stuff, I invite you to join me in exercising grace in the transition. Grace for you and for those in your world.
