You know when you are trying to get somewhere and your cell service is spotty and you wish you had entered the directions before you left the house?
Discover Alignment With A Magical Vision
An organization that is not aligned, does not get things done. Is your vision compelling enough to align the team?
I’ve had the pleasure and honor to work with a number of non-profit organizations of late and have observed the importance of one key thing to be able to get things done:
Momentum is your Friend
In mountain biking, it’s common knowledge momentum is your friend. If you come upon some rocks or tree roots in the trail and slow down out of concern or fear, you will more than likely go over your front tire, also known as an endo.
The Stories We are Told
The stories we are told influences our belief system. This email would normally come to you on Sunday morning. I know you didn’t notice it didn’t come. It’s OK, I don’t expect you to pay that close attention (and I mean that in the most un-passive aggressive kind of way) Sunday morning is my own internal metric and I am not happy with myself if I don’t make it.
Relevance in the Turbulence
How do you create a culture of “take my money, anyway?” In the lifecycle of any organization, we experience many bouts of turbulence. Events outside your control are going to happen. Often without warning. Best-laid plans often go awry.
Who Are You?
If someone asked you at a cocktail party, “Who are you?” How would you respond? It’s a hard question to answer. We’re so used to being asked “what we do.”

It’s been a reflective time for me. Maybe for you, too. Today, I have a few personal stories that added up to one realization. On a backpacking trip in the 1990s, my (then) boyfriend and I stopped at a beautiful overlook for lunch. It was one of those beautiful hot September afternoons and we sat […]
The Communication Conundrum
For the past four weeks, I’ve spent my days helping business leaders make big decisions with big consequences. How can we be sensitive to the current situation but, at the same time, bring in revenue? Should we be completely silent? Or can we be out there talking about what we have to offer? We respect […]
Making the Most of Time
I have an important invitation for you to join me in making your idea happen. So please read on, friends. It’s Day 14 trying to follow a self-imposed morning routine that starts with a 5 am alarm and a pretty aggressive schedule to get things done. This is also Day 14 of starting my day […]
The Stories We Tell Ourselves
On a trip to Melbourne last week, I had two days off from work to explore the surrounding area. That is a pretty short time to see a vast country, so there was a lot of pressure to pick precisely the right things to do for those two days. I received a lot of advice, […]
