Back in January/February, I had the opportunity to spend a long weekend in NYC. It was awesome. But…when I found out the address of the hotel, I felt so unworthy. As I was walking there, I passed over all of the fancy streets that you hear about in every movie about high-end NY. Park Avenue.Continue reading “Breaking the fear of success”

Metamorphosis
We all have core values…whether we define them more not. One of my core values is that I will always welcome challenges and change. Recently, I was given an opportunity to host a podcast. About the entertainment industry. Me. Someone who honestly…is not a student of entertainment. Business? Makes sense. Mindset? For beginners and thoseContinue reading “Metamorphosis”
New beginnings
This week is going to be a week of lasts for me. It is bittersweet. After 10 years, I am retiring from the dental industry…specifically from working in a dental office. I know more about periodontal disease, brushing, flossing, crowns and implants than anyone who is not a doctor or hygienist should know. I’m metContinue reading “New beginnings”
Influence
Sometimes things are so obvious that you can’t see them…like the saying that you can’t see the forest through the trees. (I may have hacked that one…haha) Today I had a conversation with a co-worker that changed my perspective on certain things. She’s told me these things a few times…but I never fully comprehended whatContinue reading “Influence”
Leadership a la Deneen
I’ve learned that management is mistaken for leadership all too often. Management, in my opinion, is maintaining the status quo. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. For me, this is frustrating. I know I’ve been spoiled in the past. I was introduced to leadership at the first church I ever grew roots in.Continue reading “Leadership a la Deneen”
I’m a mess
I’m not usually a self-centered person. I generally consider others’ needs over my own. I will give and give and give until I have nothing left to give. I’m not usually an ego person either. I am willing to do whatever crazy, mundane tasks need to be done to get a group of people fromContinue reading “I’m a mess”
Leadership
Leadership is a well-designed dance. There are times when the moves are graceful and lovely. There are other times when the moves are visceral and move you to your core. Being a leader is tough when you are not in a position to act on the instincts that naturally arise. Being a leader does notContinue reading “Leadership”
Subtle insecurity
I’ve been reading the Twilight series. It’s eerily engrossing. I don’t know what it is about a story about a girl who is in love with a vampire yet best friends with a werewolf that captivates my free time. A theme that I’ve noticed tonight in the book I’m reading is how two of theContinue reading “Subtle insecurity”
Off-center
I had one of those days. You know the days I’m talking about. I woke up a bit later than usual. Everything I touched fell down, fell apart, created havoc in my day. It was snowing, so everyone was driving 10 mph on the highway. My coffee took too long to be prepared at Starbucks. Continue reading “Off-center”
Average
I only know life through the lens of my own experiences. Intellectual things come easily and naturally to me. They always have. I’m a fast-learner…I just pick things up. I was an A student with the smallest effort. The only time I got less than an A was when I was disinterested in the subjectContinue reading “Average”
