What’s Your 2014 GAP?

In coaching we often speak of the “gap” – that place (in the middle!) between where a person currently is and where they want to go. The gap is often an uncomfortable place because there are no instructions or roadmap to get out on your own, and it feels like one obstacle after another. Most […]

Top Qualities of Powerful Leaders

Over the last month I had the great pleasure to interview 4 amazing women who are (or were) high-level leaders, executive coaches and consultants at Boeing, Goodwill, and the Military. Wow.

50 Shades of Leadership: Vulnerable Leaders Unbind Yourselves!

My husband got me the book 50 Shades of Gray for my birthday last fall. Oh my. It’s not going to win any literary prizes, but it sure was an, ahem, interesting read.

How to Choose In order to Save Your Life (and Business!) part 1

I am fascinated by what motivates people to make a decision, then ask for accountability, then never follow through. I was talking to a friend recently, she shared that at a recent speaking event where she was keynoting there were 90 people in the room. She asked people to email her one action they would […]

How Can I Trust Myself?

Organizing your life and schedule starts from within, one decision at a time. ~KMP I was talking to a couple different clients yesterday about how they were feeling overwhelmed and too busy. They were looking at some of the commitments they had made to people and activities and wondering how they kept getting so busy […]
