Thanks-giving [Gratitude]
When was the last time you took a moment to ruminate on all the good in your life?
With Thanksgiving, a time when our attention is drawn to the idea of giving thanks, fresh on our minds I wanted to take a moment to discuss the life-changing effects of Gratitude.
So what is gratitude? And why should you be thinking about it?
Generational Differences in the Workplace
A leader with a fixed mindset will find themselves struggling with high turnover or disengaged or burnt out employees. They will see the cause of the problem as outside of themselves, and therefore not seek a solution, blaming “this generation” for being lazy and entitled.
A leader must dig deeper to take responsibility. This is why personal and professional development is vital in any leadership role. Leaders must learn to expand their views to understand and value the views of their employees. If they don’t, their employees will go find a leader who will.
How much do you Know?
When I was working in tax I remember my supervisor telling me to always go back and review even the things you know you put in, just in case. Because tax return preparation can be repetitive and the mortgage statement you absolutely remember putting in might have been on a different return or maybe youContinue reading “How much do you Know?”
Being “the first”

Transformation I/V: Habits
This week my friend and fellow JMT Coach, Julian, asked me to do a Live Zoom interview to share some of my story. It was certainly a FFT [F*ing First Time] as Brene’ describes.

There is a before and after in my life. A before consciousness and an after. October 2018 marks the beginning of life after my “Wake Up.” The first month after a year of pregnancy and losses. The month I committed to “Show Up” and take action to make change. After my losses and almost losingContinue reading “Transformation: October 2018”
Transformation: Control to Surrender
I controlled everything I could and then lost pregnancy after pregnancy through no fault or action of my own. I spent countless hours lamenting the unfairness of it all. But over time I learned to be grateful for the lessons that all of these experiences taught me. The one I want to discuss again todayContinue reading “Transformation: Control to Surrender”
The Universe and Manifestation
When I read You Are A Badass for the first time I started and stopped it more times than I can remember. Spirituality, believing in the power of the Universe, manifesting, etc. was a woo-woo nonsense concept to me at the time. I remember thinking the book was a waste of time and asking myselfContinue reading “The Universe and Manifestation”
