Everyone has their own individual truth; what they believe, what they feel and what they value. I’m interested only in the truth inside. My life is about finding the truth of a character, the truth of a relationship, the truth of God, the truth of health. That’s all I’m interested in. —Shirley Maclaine Being a […]
#TBT Boomers Have Values
Boomers have come full circle. Well, almost. The Boomer Values Realignment Study from 2011, showed that the Boomer reaction to the economic downturn and other national and global crises has been to focus more on relationships.

Connecting the Dots
When Steve Jobs passed away, at only 56 years old, the world lost a bright visionary innovator. But I’m not going to talk about loss, for the legacy Jobs left was an enormous gain for the world. He was a man who, for better or worse, trusted his gut, his inner voice, even when […]

Professionals Who Matter

What really matters is what that change is made of and how much of a role we play in shaping it. Futurists, coaches, sustainability […]
Stop, Look, and Listen: Taking our holiday vision back
In a previous post called, “Unwrapping Your Presence,” I talked about the importance of having presence, everywhere you go and with every person you encounter—family, friends, and even strangers.

Entrepreneurs over 50
On another blog post, I talked more about the rising rate of entrepreneurs among people over 50. Odds are, you are one of the many 45- to 70-year-olds who are thinking about starting a business, or perhaps you are already running your own company. Even those already in business frequently reassess how their business is […]
Fewer Regrets, More Happiness Post-50
