Procrastination. Putting things off until you absolutely need to is not a good plan. Procrastination is the enabler of all […]
It’s amazing what you learn when you listen to the conversations happening around you. As I sat in a small coffee shop on a Tuesday night catching up on some work, I overheard a few staff members going on and on about how they hadn’t had any time off. They complained about management never attending […]
I want to share these words with you because all too often I see many people having such a strong desire to be accepted, they overlook how awesome it is to be who they are. So here’s my advice: It’s easy to follow. It’s easy to imitate. It’s easy to adopt and adapt to the […]
As a former graduate of the school of intense procrastinator university, I can tell you that I know all too well about the consequences of being a procrastinator.

Years ago one of my managers said to me: “Mary, you are an overachiever. You’re overqualified for this position and we’re not used to that around here.” I was a little thrown off by that because she said it in a tone that made it appear as a bad thing! I thought, well aren’t we […]
When I begin my leadership coaching sessions, I always ask my clients….”What do you want your legacy to be?” 💫 I’ve found that when we have not made it our life’s work to have understanding and appreciation of our inheritance, we are doing the world a disservice.
