Goals & Practices

I have been thinking about the space in between change; that transition time from the “old” to the “new.” It could be from setting a goal or practicing a new habit.

I reflected on my graduation from the MOR program and wondered how to keep that energy going? What are some specific things you can start doing today.

I wrote these essays to help new leaders as they began their leadership journeys. They were also valuable to more experienced leaders.

Feeling burned out as the leader? Resilience is the capacity to meet adversity, setbacks and trauma, and recover to lead and live life fully.

I suggest that you begin by changing your nomenclature. Instead of speaking and thinking about resolutions, begin to speak and think about commitments you willingly make to yourself.  Why?

I was flipping through my notebook. I wrote down what I want to be known for. Later I circled the question “Is what I said true?” I had some doubts.
