Welcome

Learning is a never-ending journey. I've learned much from my mentors, from the wise sages in my life. I feel it is important to share and pass along some of what I have learned – and continue to learn. I believe we are all responsible for smoothing the path for those who come after us. And I know that we are all connected and here to support one another.

My purpose is to:

  • Improve organizational effectiveness through individual development
  • Improve individual effectiveness through organizational development

Thoughts Guide Behaviors

One of my favorite brands is Life is good. You can find this label with a smiley face on t-shirts, caps, towels, or just about anything that is casual and fun.  While we were out of town this past weekend, I discovered that there is a brand now called:  Life is crap.  You can find this brand on the same kinds of merchandise.

While I realize this is to be funny and at first I laughed myself, the more I thought about it the more it bothered me.  There is an expression that says:  "Where thoughts go, energy flows."  I believe that our thoughts influence our behaviors.  If we are not thinking it, we won't say it or do it. 

So I am going to stick to my Life is good.  I love that expression and now I don't find the other brand funny.  Have I lost my sense of humor?  I don't think so.  But I believe strongly in the power of positive thinking.  So does the author of The Secret and she has made a fortune!
