Widowhood - Is Your Workplace Prepared?
Today, June 23rd, is #InternationalWidowsDay. Please allow me to share something that is near and dear to my heart. I became a widow in 2006. The domino effect of a widow’s secondary losses, such as their support system, co-parent, second income, friends, home, and in some cases, even the loss of their extended family, is not something that widows "get over." They hopefull ... More! |
How Accessible Are You to Your Employees and Customers?
Recently, I have had several occasions where trying to reach someone was next to impossible. The convenience of technology to answer phones, redirect calls, set up auto-responders, and send scheduled posts have given us the luxury of designing our workday with less interruptions. However, the flip side is that automation cannot fully replace the human aspect of the workplace. There are still times ... More! |

Questioning Your Next Career Move?
Are you at a crossroads on your career path where you don't know whether to stay where you are comfortable or take the leap into the unknown? Is this manifesting itself in your inability to enjoy your life just being in the moment because you are always preoccupied with these thoughts? Does this keep you awake at night because it feels like a huge weight is upon you? Is your inner voice telling yo ... More! |
What Can a Career Coach Do for You?
The busiest time of the week for me as a career coach starts Sunday night. Everyone is winding down from their weekend events and preparing to return to work on Monday. For some, they look forward to this with anticipation. For many others however, Sunday night brings the dread and stress of returning to a job that they hate, in a company they don’t like, with work that is unfulfilling or not alig ... More! |

30-Year Anniversary Celebration of the Event that Never Happened
Today I am celebrating the 30-year anniversary of the event that never happened in my life. Today, I would have worked at the same place for 30 years. THIRTY YEARS! That’s a long time – most of my adult working life. But that anniversary did not happen. Why you ask? Feeling burned out, stressed, on the cusp of health issues, and just not being where my heart and soul wanted to be anymore, I left a ... More! |
Landing That New Job is Just the Beginning
When you start the process of searching for a new career or job, you often approach it with the mindset that once you get that new position, then your work challenges will be resolved. But will they? When you accepted your current position, you probably also thought that this job would be the answer you were searching for. The truth is that landing that new job is just the beginning. As you beg ... More! |
Can You See the Roses?
Imagine a place where you can drink your morning coffee on the porch listening to birds singing their songs while nestled amid the lush green oak trees towering high against the bright summer sun. Practicing mindfulness in a setting like this gives me a deep appreciation of the smallness of myself in the world. You hear a great deal about changing your mindset these days. Seeing things differen ... More! |
