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)

Emerging: What Will Your New World Look Like? (Copy)

The current environment provides little-to-no certainty about what’s to come, but it does present an opportunity to contemplate and decide what and how we want to emerge. Our decisions and how they reflect our values, our goals, and how (and where) we spend our time are all on display for (re)consideration. Do they support the life we now know we need? Where do we begin to create the world we hope to see?
