The Thing About Open Doors…
Bill Treasurer's son Ian inspired his book Leaders Open Doors. Talking about being the leader at school, he shared "I got to open doors for people." For the 2nd time, my team is launching this amazing book. The 2nd edition, published by ATD, is available this month....
Living Our Core Values: Integrity
I don't want to intimidate you, but I think you have the right to know — I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Granted, I received my black belt when I was twelve, and nowadays I would likely topple over trying to do a roundhouse kick... however, my time spent sparring...

The Small Gestures Matter
This year my husband enjoyed his birthday on a Saturday. When I heard the loud noise from his Blackberry signifying an incoming email, I likely sighed. His position in a government agency requires that he stay connected 24-7. After 12 years, I should be used to the...

It’s Never Too Late to Do Something
When I first met John Stoker, he expressed some disappointment about the marketing of his May 2013 release, Overcoming Fake Talk. If I had ten bucks for every time someone expressed disappointment about money spent on publicity and marketing, I could take the trip to...
The Magic Happens…
... when you show up. If you have worked with me at all, you have heard me say this phrase: "The magic happens when you show up." If you don't show up, nothing can happen. When you show up matters. Where you show up matters. What you do when you get there matters. Who...
