Communication


Words Have Power

I think it’s time to retire the old adage “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” This saying supposedly first appeared in 1862 in The Christian Recorder, a publication of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. For more than 150 years this expression has been a frequently imparted piece of [read more]

The Fierce Urgency of Now

This week’s blog post is about the importance of advocating for yourself and others whom you love, especially when it comes to health and well-being. Adopt the mantra, “the fierce urgency of now,” inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are [read more]

Strengthen Your Communication Muscles

I had my first experience with physical therapy recently. It really opened my eyes to the hard job of working on one thing that impacts a larger system. I’m talking about the hamstring on my left leg that has really been bothering me. According to Wikipedia, the “hamstring is one of the three posterior thigh muscles in between [read more]

Make Generosity Your Brand

Have you ever met a person who just exudes generosity? I’m not talking about the kind of person who throws money around to show off their immense wealth. I mean the kind of person who has the spirit of generosity embedded into their very heart and soul. The kind of person who has made generosity [read more]

Anything Can Be Repaired

In April 2018 my husband and I launched an Airbnb house. As a first time Airbnb host, we quickly figured out what it took to create a positive experience for our guests. Thus far, we have had 58 bookings, with guests visiting our town from all over the United States, Europe and as far away [read more]

Building Peace in the Workplace

I’ll never forget a meeting that I attended with a digital marketing company based in Connecticut. I was meeting with the two partners to discuss the possibilities of joining their team. Within ten minutes of sitting down, I could see the tension between the two partners rise at an alarming rate. At one point they [read more]

Take Time to Think

Summer is the perfect time to reflect, relax, recharge, and destress. It’s also a great time to THINK. I was reminded of the value of taking time to think while reading the book The Navigator’s Compass:  101 Steps Toward Leadership Excellence, written by my colleague and friend, David O’Brien. It’s the perfect companion to a [read more]

Please don’t clear your throat

Twice this week, I have experienced the very unpleasant sound of people clearing their throats while presenting information and ideas. I don’t just mean a one time clearing of the throat, but repeatedly. One person was giving a presentation in front of a live audience. The other person was on the phone with me for thirty [read more]

Why you should never cut off anyone while driving…

When I speak to groups of job seekers, I often remind them that the interview actually starts way before the scheduled time. If you are driving to a location for the interview, your interview starts the moment you get in the car and begin driving. If you are interviewing via telephone, the interview starts a few [read more]

Stop interrupting

INTERRUPTING:  Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Is it a communication misdemeanor, or a clever strategy to dominate the conversation? Does it foster productive conversations, or does it lead to arguments, distrust, and disrespect? We’ve certainly seen a lot of interrupting lately in the Presidential debate series. The Vice Presidential debate held on October 4th was also [read more]
