Shifting Your Mindset...The Great Resignation or The Great Reset?

The Great Resignation. The concept of a life of resignation leaves us powerless as leaders. What if we took this time to commit to a #GreatReset?

What’s In Your Box?

Today I share an exercise from my time working at a global diversity and inclusion firm. It had such a profound effect on me that not only do you see it in physical form, but also throughout everything I do in my life.

When we limit our thinking, the impact is a decreased ability to stand tall in alignment with what's important.

I am excited to share with you my experience about thinking outside the box.

Getting Comfortable About Being Uncomfortable

Today, I am sharing my experience with why I said yes to getting uncomfortable. I made a pivot about a decade ago to take a job with with a nationally known Diversity & Inclusion firm.

Today, I am sharing my thoughts on reframing that icky "F" Word...Failure.

Regardless of your politics, I’m pretty sure that all of us are seeing the word “Burnout” show up everywhere. Let’s be clear. Burnout is not just a women’s issue. It is a workplace problem.

Joe Vs. The Volcano

Leadership is exceptional when it comes from a place of self-awareness. When leaders are willing to do the heavy lifting to understand themselves, organizations thrive. My zone of genius as a coach is working with the few leaders who are awake and want to be continually amazed.

Lessons Learned As an Entrepreneur

Lessons Learned As an Entrepreneur

I’ve delegated throughout my career as a leader, but this was different. I was committed to totally disengaging from the work. No sneaking emails when no one was looking. No scheduled calls. Not even providing feedback until the projects were 90% done. Which meant fully letting go…and putting my trust in each team member.

This Research Should Bother You

I have been proud to wear the label #working mom. I took 8 months off when my daughter was born. And then I returned to the workplace. I tried to be a stay-at-home mom and honestly, I just wasn’t good at it.

Please don’t judge me. I made every career choice in my life based on how I was showing up as a mom. If I felt like Ali wasn’t getting what she needed, I knew it was time to pivot. And I did…

Celebrating the Courageous Life of RBG with Dr. Nichola Gutgold and Jessica Armstrong

There's never been another like her. And when Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in September, the outpouring of support and loss of a national treasure, was palpable.

I woke up this morning with that song in my head. It’s an “oldie but a goodie”. And, it’s exactly what I want to write about today.

“The Dichotomy of Leadership”. In 2018, Jocks Willink and Lief Babin penned this book. “Leadership is managing tensions. Leaders must know when to adapt. This is where self-awareness plays a big part. In a word, they need balance.”

7 Ways to Use ZOOM for Relationship Building

My favorite words of wisdom this week are from Seth Goodin. We need to stop using the words "new normal" and accept that there is "simply the normal of now."

ZOOM and other virtual meeting platforms are here to stay. And for the most part, ZOOM has been a game-changer for organizations. Imagine life without this digital space?

So now that we are comfortable in a ZOOM room, what's next?
