One of the biggest pieces of being intentional is that we make choices based on our personal values, beliefs and goals. When we talk about being intentional, it doesn’t mean that we have to change [...]
Last week I talked about how to be present…but how do we manage that when we have so many things on our to-do list and only so many hours in a day. Often we like to talk about a work-life balance but instead I think we should talk about our work-life harmony. Work-life harmony [...]
We all are in the world where we have a LOT of things going on and often, we are overwhelmed with our “to do” list! I know that I often try to do too many things and overwhelm myself. But one of the things I am working on and trying to do everyday is [...]
This spring I went to a lot of conferences. I love going to conferences to not only keep me up to date on new things going on in our industry but being able to share my knowledge with other attendees. At this year’s set of conference, I had a few things that made really [...]
We talked about adding and communicating value to our clients but now let’s talk about value for our staff. McKinsey recently published a survey of middle managers and talked about how middle managers in particular are vital to organizations. “Managers face pressures from above and below, they tend to be both underdeveloped and unempowered, [...]
Last time we talked about the value they can see and that we provide. But what about the value that they can’t see or measure? Often our value differs from client to client. Understanding what your client wants and what is important to them, helps them to see your value in a way that [...]
When we run a practice there are so many things that we always need to think about today, but we also need to continually think about tomorrow. I think one of the things that we must continually work on is “value”. Value can mean many things that are measurable now as well as things [...]

I can tell you that many years ago I would have told you that I made it in this world all by myself…but when I look truly back at my life, there were so many people who have guided me along the way. We all need a guide and you just need to recognize [...]
There are so many ways that experiences can help us in our life, and I am going to talk about a few of them that have been helpful to me. The first is spending some time alone. I know that sounds a little crazy, but I truly love spending time alone. By taking time [...]
Some things you firmly believe in now will change as you grow older, so always keep an open mind. I can definitely tell you that there were things in my early life that I said I didn’t believe in that changed for me as time moved on. Make sure you listen to the people [...]
One of the most difficult things in life for me is control...I want to control EVERYTHING! I look back and wonder how much time I have wasted in my life on things that are completely out of my control! What I have learned is that I cannot dwell on things that have gone wrong [...]
On our journey to find our best self, we should invest both time and money in ourselves. Don’t spend time and money on things that don’t really matter. Instead invest in yourself and you will find that it is always worth it. Sometimes we just need to give ourselves a break even if we [...]
