Cup of Jo: The Impact You Want To Make (Copy)

Everything we do creates a ripple.  And yet, we often wonder if our efforts bring about any difference in the world. While the answer is always yes, the more important question to answer is, "What is that difference?" or better, "What difference do we want to make?"   One of the reasons I refer to my coaching as integrative is that I believe strongly that tapping into our whole selves is the best way to bring all of our gifts forward.

In that spirit, here is my story about how I came to understand the difference I wanted to make (for my clients and in the world) and why it's so important that we are intentional about the impact we seek to have.

Cup of Jo: Supporting Individual Excellence ...

As leaders, one of our key duties is to bring out the best in each member of our team. If you are concerned about performance, there are ways to structure conversations that demonstrate not just your concern about how someone is showing up and delivering (or not) but also that you see people, you care about them, and that you are a resource for their development.

Cup of Jo: How to Identify and Own Your Value ...

Do you know the difference between being valuable versus invaluable? Understanding how – and why – they are not at all the same thing is the key to making better choices, choosing the roles/positions where we thrive, and ultimately creating a more fulfilling and joyful life.

What Cathedral Are You Building? (Copy)

We inherited this world from those that came before us. Although it’s not perfect, we sometimes take for granted the work and investment made by individuals who likely never saw the fruits of their labor. Similarly, we’re faced with the ever-present challenge of meeting the current moment, all the while carrying the sacred responsibility of building for those that will come after us. The overarching question, then, that I continue to ask myself, and that I encourage the leader in all of us to pose is: “If not now when?  If not me, who?” (Hillel)

Necessary Obstacles: Challenges Help Write Your Story (Copy)

I wrote this article for Forbes prior to the coronavirus pandemic, with no foresight of what was to come. It was recently released, and although the article wasn’t intended for the current environment, it may help us reframe how we’re experiencing our challenges today.  Hopefully, you’ll find some helpful tools for learning whatever we can from obstacles – understanding that they are a part of every narrative.  While so much is indeed out of our control, choosing how to respond most effectively in difficult times is a muscle we can all develop.

Bullying in the workplace is a regrettably common phenomenon. In a 2017 national survey, 19% of respondents reported being bullied at work, and another 19% have witnessed it firsthand. While some perpetrators may purposely treat others unkindly, others may not even be aware that their words and actions are being viewed as "bullying."
