Emotional Intelligence

I have done everything in my power to never show excessive emotions at work, but one time stands out as a leadership lesson that I'd like to share.

The core is to create inclusive environments where people belong and thrive, diversity is appreciated, and empathy is part of the culture.

Adaptability is core for success and entails having flexibility to handle change, balance multiple demands, and bring fresh ideas to new situations.

Inclusion is an act liberation. When all contributions are welcomed, communities grow. And inclusion enables voice, perhaps the greatest gift of all.

I offer strategies to help make your leadership voice heard in the virtual workplace and build a more inclusive culture. 

Forgiveness begins with awareness and acknowledgement of where we’ve been and evolves to our aim and action to advance toward the desired future.

As we look ahead to a “Thanksgiving like no other,” I offer a perspective of that first Thanksgiving drawing perhaps surprising parallels to 2020.

To calm ourselves and others: acknowledge our experiences, review our rituals, focus on what needs doing, communicate, and respect other views.

What would it mean for you to consider resiliency as the ability or willingness to accept joy?

The Queen song, Under Pressure popped in my head and made me smile. And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night, And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves... this is our last dance this is ourselves under pressure.  Doesn’t this ring true, especially at this moment in time?
