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

Six Word Memoirs

I discovered this site called Six Word Memoirs that is think is a great site and wonderful idea.  They believe that "everyone has a story.  Can you tell yours in six words?"  Several books have been published targeted at various audiences.  The first book was titled:  Not Quite What I Was Planning:  Six Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser.

The idea is an interesting one.  Take a topic and see if you can summarize your thoughts in only six words.  For example, What is the best advice you have ever been given?  Some of the responses include:

  • Forget head, heart.  Go with gut.
  • Greatest things in life aren't things.
  • When cookies are passed, take one.

  • Life's a rummage sale.  No returns.
  • Love unlovely; they need it most.
  • Moderation in all things (including moderation).

So I have decided every now and then I will ask whomever is reading my blog (Are there readers out there?) to submit responses to various topics.  And I will start:

What is your best definition of leadership in six words?

My response:  Learning to live your best life. 

Now, what is your response?  I would love to hear from you.

Happy holidays.  I hope to hear from more of you in 2010.  Thanks.
