For this weeks #TBT (Throwback Thursday) I’m sharing a post that I wrote at the end of 2012. There was a lot of conversation around fear and the end of the world. With the social climate going on from US elections, to terrorist threats, to the global economy the same conversations are coming up again. […]
The Invisible Woman
Women tend to have the blessing and the curse of being invisible, especially as we approach 50 and beyond. The negative side of being invisible is clear to most of us. The world no longer seems to notice or care about us or what we have to say—if they ever did in the first place. […]
Multiple Conversations on Aging #TBT
For Throwback Thursday (TBT) I wanted to reshare this post I did back in the Summer of 2012 about the Power of Having Multiple Conversations on Aging. I read an article (Tori Vigil’s “Thank God for Aging”) that put beautifully why aging is in many ways a positive part of life. What struck me most, […]
We Are the Truth Tellers
Everyone has their own individual truth; what they believe, what they feel and what they value. I’m interested only in the truth inside. My life is about finding the truth of a character, the truth of a relationship, the truth of God, the truth of health. That’s all I’m interested in. —Shirley Maclaine Being a […]
Passion and Purpose Pay Off
Before I have talked a bit about the shadow self we all have inside and the importance of acknowledging it, understanding it, and using it for our success and in our own leadership. Today, I want to talk about the light. The visionary voice inside us is that light, the one that guides us and […]
Bypass the System
In a New York Times op-ed piece, Thomas Friedman examined two different viewpoints on the future. One is that we are in the midst of the “Great Disruption,” as coined by environmentalist Paul Gilding. As Gilding describes it, “Our system of economic growth, of ineffective democracy, of overloading planet earth . . . is eating […]
Stop, Look, and Listen: Taking our holiday vision back
In a previous post called, “Unwrapping Your Presence,” I talked about the importance of having presence, everywhere you go and with every person you encounter—family, friends, and even strangers. When you have presence, the visionary inside you is wide awake and calling the shots. You embody that visionary and inspire others to awaken their own. […]
Entrepreneurs over 50
On another blog post, 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 […]
It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times
~Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens In September of 2011, Hurricane Irene was on its way, hitting states as far north as Maine that ordinarily didn’t experience the wrath of hurricanes. I lived in the Berkshire foothills, which is far enough inland that you wouldn’t think we’d need to worry, but we are surrounded by […]
Women and the Future of Business
I’ve talked before about the ongoing trend of women leaving the corporate world to start their own businesses. This is no surprise considering the glass ceiling is still unbreakable in many companies throughout Corporate America. Many women, especially women over 50, who have spent their working lives climbing the corporate ladder are faced with the […]
