Speak Up in Every Situation

I’m here with so much encouragement to speak up! Your voice is needed now more than ever.

But also acknowledging that finding your voice is more than just mastering speaking skills—it’s about discovering the confidence to share what you have to say in any setting, whether you’re on a stage, in a meetin...

Make Your Move

There’s power in knowing when it’s time to say “game over.” Sometimes, it’s not about waiting for an ending to come naturally or for a push from the outside. Instead, it’s about making a conscious choice to walk away from what’s comfortable and familiar. Choosing to leave a job, step out of a relationship, or take o...

It’s Like Culture Math

When it comes to workplace culture, there’s this elusive “X” factor everyone’s trying to solve for. You know what I mean—that wow factor, the secret sauce, the spark that makes people excited to show up. It’s the kind of engagement that transforms an ordinary job into something people actually love. Solving ...

It’s amazing how many professionals in my network have been bringing up The Tortoise and the Hare lately. I think it’s because we’re all running so hard and fast forward that we find ourselves craving success through slow, steady progress. There’s a growing realization that being the Hare- constantly sprinting- isn’t sustainable fo...

Expect the Unexpected

Sometimes life forces us to slow down in ways we don’t expect, offering us moments of stillness that help us reflect, recharge, and appreciate the present. But have you ever thought about how these pauses—whether forced or intentional—can be some of the most valuable moments we experience?

Has this ever happ...

Running Toward a Vision

Picture yourself at the starting line, poised to take off. The sunrise is just peeking over the horizon, casting a warm glow across your path. You can feel the energy in the air, the quiet excitement that comes with knowing the race you're about to run is worth it—worth risking it all. A smile creeps across...

Stepping Into The Storm

Storms have been on my mind lately. As a true Floridian, I’ve come to expect those afternoon thunderstorms rolling in over the horizon. But every now and then, we face storms of a different kind—ones that shake our lives a little harder than we expected.

This week, my family was hit by one of those storms,...

Competing to Lift Others Up

Alright, let’s get real for a second. When you think about being “the best,” what pops into your head? Probably something like climbing to the top, being the star, getting the recognition, right? But hold up—what if I told you that’s not the kind of “best” we’re talking about today? Forget that me-first...

How Preparation Leads to Confidence

Let’s talk about being prepared. I mean really prepared—like that feeling when you walk into a meeting, and you know without a doubt that you’ve done everything possible to set yourself up for success. It’s the difference between dreading Sunday night and actually looking forward to Monday morni...

Imagine this: a sunny afternoon, you’re sitting on your front porch in a rocking chair, and your friendly neighbor is just a click away. Need a cup of sugar? They’ve got you covered. Lost your dog? Don’t worry, they’ll help you track it down. Now, what if that friendly neighbor wasn’t just a person next door, but AI—always ready to...

We’re all living in 2024, and let’s face it—workplace engagement isn’t what it used to be. It doesn’t take a bunch of statistics to tell us that. We feel it, we see it, and sure, if you want to get technical, Gallup’s got the numbers to back it up. But here’s the thing: whether you’re knee-deep in data or just talking to folks in t...

Suddenly I See

Have you ever had one of those moments where everything just clicks? Maybe you were going through the motions, doing something familiar, and suddenly, you saw things differently—like a lightbulb switching on in your mind. That’s the magic of a perspective shift, and it’s something we all experience in different ways...
