Milk-Bones. Frozen fruit pops. Italian soda. Gluten-free crackers. That's all it took for me to “misplace” my husband at the supermarket recently. Shopping doesn't tend to be a team sport for us.

These are ordinary moments, and yet they stay with … [Read more...]

What comes to mind when you think about leadership and creativity? Both topics have been on my mind a lot lately as I prepare for an upcoming workshop I am conducting. While leadership and creativity are very common attributes, I used to think of them as having very separate identities – like good steak and polka dot sprinkles, they are both good, they just don't go together. Or do they? Can you be a good leader and not very creative? Probably not. What about very creative and a poor … [Read more...]

It's early in another new year. The holidays are behind us and many of are trying to get back in the groove, wondering what's up. Why am I here? What did I leave undone? How can I make this year different, better, less stressful, more fun than last year? The answer: write your own manifesto, your rules to live by for this year and possibly the rest of your life. You can do it solo as a personal expression of who you want to be or as part of a partnership, family, work, community or other … [Read more...]
