Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin The source of all your power is within you; it always has been […]
Many of you probably know exactly where I’m headed with this, but it bears writing after watching someone I once respected pass harsh judgment on a number of people this week. It actually affected me physically to hear it. Unfortunately, many of us either witness people being judgmental of others in the business world or […]
“It’s a reflection on them and their insecurity…not on you.” Sadly, I must have said this ten times this week to people I care about. It wasn’t in reference to Fortune 500 leaders or to any of the inspirational CEOs I work with. Instead, it was in reference to the “everyday leaders” in our lives; […]
I wrote last week about what I feel to be an undeniable truth, that what determines who you are as a leader is who you are as a person. I shared my strongly-held belief, “It’s not possible to be a visionary leader if you do not have the ability to connect to the vision that […]

In the world of leadership it’s very common to hear of others’ success. Announcements about “movers and shakers” and various corporate promotions often find their way into our in-boxes. Just last week this happened to a friend of mine who asked, “why do I feel sick in the pit of my stomach?” When we are […]
I had the honor and great pleasure of speaking to a group of Midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy last week. I don’t use the word “honor” lightly. I told them I work every day with current leaders, but rarely get the opportunity to work with future leaders. They were a brilliant audience and their […]
Last week in a presentation on The New Psychology of Money given by my To Be A Woman business partner, a gentleman in the audience suggested to her that women are dependent on men because we depend on men to make money for us to live. You could literally feel people cringing in the room – […]
There have been very few times when I have wanted to write about something that has moved me to my core, but have been unsure of how to even begin. This is one of those times. You see, I’m not quite sure how to convey to you just how deeply the new book, “Get It On!” by […]
