We Are the 51%
April 20, 2012
Today is the last day of Equal Pay Week but only the beginning, I hope, of our collective efforts toward pay equity for all, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or race. In Wednesday’s post, I discussed the Equal Pay Day event in NYC that I attended on Monday. Of course, a single post cannot sum up [...] Read more...
Equal Pay Week
April 18, 2012
As many of you know, this is Equal Pay Week, a time to refocus on the gender gap in pay between women and men. It’s hard to believe that even in 2012, U.S. women are still earning annually between 52 and 78 cents for every dollar men earn for the same jobs, with black women [...] Read more...
Starting or Reinventing a Business after 50
March 30, 2012
On Monday, I talked more about the rising rate of entrepreneurs among people over 50. Odds are, you are one of the many 45- to 70-year-olds who are thinking about starting a business, or perhaps you are already running your own company. Even those already in business frequently reassess how their business is doing, and [...] Read more...
Ageless
March 19, 2012
We’re all aware that each generation tends to live longer than the ones before, and we might have noticed also that each generation looks and acts younger at a particular age than previous generations at that same age. Yet our mindset about what it means to be 30, 40, 50, 60, and beyond tends to [...] Read more...
The Future Is in Her Hands
March 9, 2012
On Monday, I talked about two physics concepts that apply to our lives, our work, and our world: resonance and dissipative structures. Resonance teaches us that with the right timing, those of us of like mind, on the same wavelength, will have a magnified effect on the world when we come together—a much greater effect [...] Read more...
You Don’t Need Psychic Powers
February 24, 2012
In Monday’s blog post, I talked about why it’s a mistake to wait for the economy to recover before we transform our lives, work, and world. The future belongs to those who are starting those transformations now, who are shaping the world and creating their own place in it. If you can’t afford to make [...] Read more...

What Does “Reinvention” Mean?
February 13, 2012
I use the word “reinvention” often because it is a necessary process for most of us as we go through transition—career transitions; life transitions, such as entering midlife or beyond; relationship transitions; and the transitions we face in our lives, work, and businesses from the epochal changes the entire planet is undergoing—economic, environmental, social. But [...] Read more...
“But I Am Not a Visionary”
February 10, 2012
I’ve written a lot about the visionary voice we all have inside us, the qualities of a visionary and how that voice can guide us toward making a difference in the world while simultaneously achieving sustainable, meaningful success in our lives and work. Many of you are no doubt aware of this voice. Maybe you’ve [...] Read more...
Caution vs. Hesitation
February 8, 2012
There are many persons ready to do what is right because in their hearts they know it is right. But they hesitate, waiting for the other fellow to make the first move—and he, in turn, waits for you. —Marian Anderson Before making any big change in our lives—particularly before reinventing ourselves, our work, our world—it [...] Read more...
