Points of Leverage: 7th Edition

The intention of C-lever Points of Leverage is to support you in your own development and growth as a leader and a human by sharing my journey of the same.  I hope you find it useful.   What I’m excited about– Camp Maverick – I didn’t go to camp as a kid.  It wasn’t in the consideration set. As a result, I generally don’t like to camp and find being around lots of people for longer than a few hours, more than a little challenging.  And when I learned that a couple of people I know and love had a…

Points of Leverage: 6th Edition

The intention of C-lever Points of Leverage is to support you in your own development and growth as a leader and a human by sharing my journey of the same.  I hope you find it useful.   What I’m consuming –  Lululemon – Men’s Pants- My husband has become the master of looking sharp while being extremely comfortable.   Now that he’s not going into an office every day, his daily activities vary a lot ,so his wardrobe needs to serve double duty.  He wears these pants when he wants to both be comfortable and look great.   He’ll pair them with…

Points of Leverage: 5th Edition

The intention of C-lever Points of Leverage is to support you in your own development and growth as a leader and a human by sharing my journey of the same.  I hope you find it useful.   What I’m trying –  Hyperice Sphere – Vibrating Therapy Ball -  I started working out with a new trainer recently and I think he was trying to figure out my baseline or something.  After a first workout that included a grueling series of pull ups, chin ups (assisted, of course), sled pushes and pulls, tire flips and TRX pikes, I was toasty, achy and…

Points of Leverage: 4th Edition

The intention of C-lever Points of Leverage is to support you in your own development and growth as a leader and a human by sharing my journey of the same.  I hope you find it useful. What I’m trying – The Math Behind Successful Relationships -  Of the myriad of topics that can burden the mind of the entrepreneur, their marriage and their relationship with their spouse/partner is among the most common.  How we attend to and acknowledge our spouse makes an enormous difference in the quality of our relationship.   The good news is that if we honor the golden…

Points of Leverage: 3rd Edition

The intention of C-lever Points of Leverage is to support you in your growth and development as a leader and a human by sharing my own journey. What I’m learning – Eco-leadership – I’ve been studying various forms of leadership for quite a while, but I’d never heard of Eco-leadership until recently when preparing for my interview of Dr. Simon Western.  Eco-leadership is an exciting concept (that little is written about and frankly, I’m still trying to figure out) that focuses on the idea of distributing leadership and decision-making throughout an organization. It’s a more organic and nimble form of leadership…

Points of Leverage: 2nd Edition

My intention with C-lever Points of Leverage is to support you in your own development and walk along side you by sharing my own journey.  As I begin to peel back the motivation underneath so much of what I do, I find that it comes down to a desire to know, understand and be aware of myself. What I’m learning – Power of Awareness  - Six months ago, I applied for a 2 year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) led by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.  (I got in and it just started!).  One of the pre-requisites for the…

Why Would Anyone Great Want to Work For You?

Bob had a look of shock in his eyes, one I hadn’t seen in the 18 months we’d been working together.  Bob owns a thriving landscaping business and he wanted to get my thoughts about adding someone to his office staff.  I asked several questions before serving up the one that triggered the look.  “Why would anyone great want your crappy little job?”(Did I say that out loud? I cringed after I said it.)   Bob was making the mistake that virtually every hiring manager makes: viewing his employment opportunity from only his perspective.   Bob had scoped the job narrowly…

Life: By Design or By Default

A couple of years ago, I began to see a pattern that I could no longer over look.  Every time I engaged with an older female client, I experienced an internal dialogue that was critical of them.  YIKES!  That’s a big f-ing deal!  The foundation of my work as a coach is seeing the hero in everyone.  My internal disparagements were infecting my client relationships and souring their results.   Oh, I could always justify or disguise my critiques.   “She’s being a victim.”  “She’s just wanting attention.”  But when I looked at my default pattern of behavior and the results, it…

Never Ever Give Up

Never Ever Give Up.  We’ve all heard that advice dozens if not hundreds of times.  So many times, in fact, that it can seem a bit trite, as least to me.  But then I saw Diana Nyad’s talk at last month’s TEDWomen and her words gave the saying a new meaning.      What You Probably Already Know – The Results   Unless you’ve been living in a remote village in Nepal (or you are an entrepreneur working 90+ hour weeks), you know that Diana Nyad is the 64 year old woman who recently did something no other man or…
