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 kind of permission slip do you need as a leader to get back in action and start reseting your life and your organization?
Exploring “Atlas of the Heart”
For today's Think Good Thursday Conversation, I am sharing something a little different! Hopefully you have heard about Brené Brown's new book, "Atlas of the Heart".
I am discussing some of the key points I learned from this book that can help leaders lead with more intention and grace.
Looking At Cognitive Diversity
You are not like everyone else. You have a unique perspective that can offer great insights to any problem or challenge you face.
As the final video in our DEI conversation this month, I am excited to share the concept of Cognitive Diversity with you.
Imagine if there was a way to use your natural strengths to become even more successful. That's what Whole Brain Thinking is all about- using your brain in the most efficient way possible to achieve your goals.
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.
I was completely out of my comfort zone...and it was the professional risk I have ever taken.
I'm challenging you to get out of your seat and get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Let’s Talk About The “F” Word…
Today, I am sharing my thoughts on reframing that icky "F" Word...Failure.
This is such an important conversation because, let's face it, we are at the end of January. We've set our intentions, gotten clear about next steps, and then we've dropped the ball.
I share my own story of failing and reframing a 2022 action item.
Are Virtual Relationships Real?
In this video, I'm sharing my recent experience meeting my virtual friends and fellow coaches.
Yes...virtual relationships are real. They require us to keep showing up on a consistent basis. AND they require us to build familiarity, comfort and trust with others.
Introducing Think Good Conversations!
Newsflash!! You can now catch weekly YouTube Videos with me on my very own channel! Every Thursday, I will be recording a video around the core concepts of The Think Good Company.
Think Good Conversations is a weekly video series where I will be sharing my insights and resources on cultivating compassionate and courageous workplaces.
Word of The Day...Burnout
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. It requires a new kind of leadership. It requires us to think differently. And it demands flexible leadership.
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
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.
BRING SOME TLC TO THE ORGANIZATIONS YOU LOVE!
Consider an organization that you are passionate about. It could be your company, your nonprofit, your faith community, or even your family. You know this organization is on the precipice of excellence. And, it’s a bit damaged in its post-pandemic transformation. Perhaps... it needs a little TLC..(Thinking, Love and Compassion)
Let’s consider why…
Realigning Vision and Values
This is a watershed moment for so many leaders. And as always, most executives are working through these concerns with good intent. We are both trying to survive and thrive in a post-pandemic environment.
The truth is that most employees are disconnected from their work. Employees are tired. Leaders are tired. And many have no idea what’s expected of them.
Learning to Live and Lead Differently
Did Someone Say Pivot...Pivot might be the most overused word of the pandemic. I've been talking about pivots way before 2019.
In fact, I specialize in supporting my clients in finding the courage to make pivots.
And yes...The Think Good Company is making a pivot.

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.
Like most women, I felt like I had lost a role model. A #shero. An absolutely fierce lioness who lived a life of courage. And I wanted to honor her by sharing how she lived a life of #thinkingcourageously.
Stepping in to the Arena!
ou are a parent. You are a daughter. You are a son. You are a friend. You are part of a team. Part of an organization.
And things aren’t going well.
You may know this because of the data. Perhaps your organization is underperforming.
You may know this because things aren’t getting done. Lots of promises. No action…
Joy and Pain! Like Sunshine and Rain!
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?
