As we journey down the path of living a life of enough, there seems to come a time when we wake up to everyone else’s scarcity. For me, this discovery took awhile. I’ve been really interested in myself as the subject, focusing on my own personal context, the one, we say, we have the mostRead the Rest…

Skillfully Ill
April 10th, 2013 - No Comments
Here’s a riddle: What does a leader do when she’s sick? (Wait for the answer.) First, consider our options: We can ignore our illness and align ourselves with the traditional, cultural way: to continue—or try to continue–to produce through our un-well condition. We often know the risks of this, but do it anyway. In thisRead the Rest…
Resting in Commitment, Part 2
October 18th, 2012 - No Comments
In a post last week, Commitment, on anniversary eve, I had written: The power of commitment resides in the quality of attention. What I attend is what I am committed to. I am committed to what I direct and rest my attention on. It feels harder and harder to rest in or on anything these days. WeRead the Rest…
Nourishing Ourselves as Leaders

What does it mean to be a leader? Is an inquiry I have grappled with for myself and with our clients for a decade. In looking at the research and in our own work environments we all see that many of our colleagues and family members are over stressed and over tired and can’t seemRead the Rest…

Walking into Jud Knox’s office it is immediately apparent he is a leader doing something extraordinary. First of all, he works at a standing desk. Why? He says he moves a lot and is readily available. Secondly, his primary and core leadership value is loving kindness. And he’s completely transparent about it. Curious yet? ThoughRead the Rest…
Budgeting Time
April 29th, 2011 - No Comments
Budgets are the foundations of businesses and families that run smoothly. Mostly we budget our money, planning out how to spend our expected income, using our needs, values and desires as guides. We also budget our time. We often do this less explicitly, unless we take Rosemary Tator’s courses within her More Time for YouRead the Rest…
anatomy of a breakdown
November 3rd, 2010 - No Comments
I still regret my mistake. I don’t prescribe to “everything happens for a reason.” Though I didn’t accidentally end a life, what I did stinks and was wrong. Sometimes that happens. And, we were able to acknowledge, adapt and learn. These actions are the foundations for coping with uncertainty, for an ever fast changing economic (and political and social and climate) landscape, and for shifting into a new paradigm.
