As a professional in the world of learning and development, I am often sought as a subject matter expert on personal and professional growth as well as managing relationships...and then I walk through the door and find out how much more learning I need to do at the courtesy of my husband and five-year-old daughter. Join me on my journey towards humility and accountability.
I have read many articles and books as well as listened to countless individuals share that money is the number one cause of most marital arguments and divorce.
I beg to differ. In our house, home improvement projects are the greatest source of contention. An ... Read more...
So first thing I want to make clear. I am going to be talking about Wendy’s, but nobody asked me to talk about Wendy’s. This blog post is not sponsored by Wendy’s, and I am not getting anything in return. I just had an unexpectedly great experience at Wendy’s this ... Read more...
I have several…hundreds of them. Thousands of them.
Since leaving my previous “dream job,” I have been asked numerous times by friends, family and interviewers about what my “ideal job” is.

What is a leader anyway? I’ve essentially had that discussion hundreds of times over the past decade with supervisors, managers, front line staff, business thought leaders, learning and development professionals, etc., etc… But I’ve never asked a six year old. Unti ... Read more...
I’d like a do-over of middle school please. Had you asked me six days ago whether I would volunteer to go back in time and redo middle school, I would have vehemently opposed. I often think of my middle school time as the “lost years.” The years I would prefer neve ... Read more...
Hmmm…I was called “intense” this week…again…for the hundredth time. This was shared by a friend, and she didn’t use it in a negative connotation. I asked her to use three words to describe me, and she said, “passionate, intense and loyal.” “The “loyal” part is one ... Read more...
I hadn’t realized there was a downside to turning six. I have heard there are downsides to aging, but that’s a conversation for the 30+ crowd-or so I thought. Lexi turned six today, and it has been a highly anticipated event in our house, not because of any major ... Read more...
