Through the Woods: Letting Go of Another Year

December 31, 2009

It’s a tradition born out of circumstance. I rise early New Year’s Eve morning, just the other side of dawn when the invisible sun burns beyond the dark, cold sky and the world has yet to fully awaken.

Women and the Face of Leadership

December 30, 2009

In a recent article, I wrote about the myth of the C-suite and why so few women are reaching the uppermost echelons within companies and organizations.

The Year of the “Chick Blitz” (Hollywood Discovers Forty-Something Women)

December 29, 2009

According to Samantha Critchell of the Associated Press, 2010 is a “new day” for forty-something women. “Women are where it’s at in the world of entertainment — and we’re talking “women” not “girls” for the most part.

Despite years of progress by women in the workforce – they now occupy more than 40% of all managerial positions in the U. S. – within the C-suite they are by far more scarce. When you look at Fortune 500 companies, the most highly paid executives with titles such as chairman, chief executive officer, president [...]

It’s My Party and I’ll Cry If I Want To

December 7, 2009

I threw myself a pity party all last week because I had to cancel my trip to Orlando where I was scheduled to be on an expert panel speaking to my peers in the coaching industry. This cancellation came right on the heels of another business conference I had to forgo – both due to [...]

A Search for Significance

November 25, 2009

While working on developing products and services for 2010, it occurred to me that I needed to ask a number of questions of the women I serve or hope to serve before I can create a telecourse, e-book, or any other product that is spot on. So I began to do just that, and have [...]

November 7, 2009

Someone asked me the other day why I refuse to refer to the transition that occurs for most women in midlife as a “crisis.” While it’s true that the word “crisis” means a crucial or decisive point or situation, or a turning point, it also has about it an air of instability and upheaval.

October 9, 2009

For women, the second half of life brings with it many career choices and questions. For some women, continuing in a current career doesn’t fulfill personal, spiritual or financial needs as it once did.
