What We Leave Behind – Our Selves
After several colleagues mentioned some new assessments tools they found helpful, I was curious to explore. With my interest in self-discovery, I wondered what they would highlight, especially now that I am numerous years outside of my corporate persona. I found the...
What We Leave Behind – Honoring Our Ancestry
I recently created a shadow box of memorable items from my family. In the same week it was completed, I had conversations with several people who shared that they felt younger generations today are becoming less and less interested in items from the past. Diminished...
Starting A New Year – Core Goals and One Word
January is that time of year when I see emails about defining your one word for the year and your core area of focus. There are countless reminders to create your vision board, address your money blocks, commit to taking care of your health, and more. All of these are...
Starting A New Year – Stepping Back to Move Forward
I was speaking with a friend recently and she reminded me of how years ago I shared that I turn right in order to go left. I started doing that because at times I would wait for what felt too long for two lanes of traffic to clear. When I first shared this driving...
Being Kind – Kindness through Change
There is a saying I have heard throughout the years of my personal journey – “our outer world is a reflection of our inner world” or, a similar version of the same sentiment; “our inner world is expressed in our outer world”. In my personal experience, this is true....

Bullying takes many forms. One common aspect of bullying that I experienced was name calling. Using a different variation of my name, a group of individuals would chant – mirror, mirror on the wall who is the ugliest of them all. What they were saying felt mean. In...
Sense of Self-Value – Valuing Yourself
A few months ago, I participated in several events connected to high-value clients and high-value programs. While I understand the rationale behind the concept, I found myself triggered by the term “high value” especially when used in reference to a group of people. I...
Too Much or Not Enough – Finding a Balance
Sometimes we think that more is better. A simple expression of this is when people trade up to bigger houses, more expensive cars, and fill their closets with expensive designer clothing. People who vie for bigger titles and higher salaries, or follow prescribed...
Too Much or Not Enough – Finding The “Antidote”
In one of my blogs, (https://systemsofchange.com/our-unique-journey-be-patient-with-how-the-path-unfolds/) I wrote about the impact of impatience on our journey. Shortly after the three experiences noted in that blog post that highlighted impatience, I saw three...
A Systemic Viewpoint – Taking Your Place Creates Alignment
I was speaking with someone recently about the importance of “taking their place”. This systemic phrase regarding placement can appear in different ways ranging from one’s place in the birth order to owning your place as the creator of a program. The person’s reaction...
A Systemic Viewpoint – Belonging Starts with Your Ancestry
I was listening to some recent conversations about creating belonging in organizations. One area of discussion was related to teams and ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard. It reminded me of my corporate days when I was facilitating teams. I focused on ensuring...
