As many of you know, Equal Pay themes are an opportunity to refocus on the gender gap in pay between women and men. It’s hard to believe that even in 2018, U.S. women are still earning annually between 52 and 79 cents for every dollar men earn for the same jobs, with black women and […]
Purpose or Profit
Most of us want to make a difference in the world, to follow our passion and live lives of significance and purpose. But many feel like they can’t do this and still make the money they need to make, especially after the recession. Either we do what we love or we meet our financial needs. […]
What’s Your Success Look Like
In Seth Godin’s blog post, he makes an excellent point about why we sometimes don’t get very far in our endeavors, even when we are taking action every day. Often out of fear, our actions are either too small, too easy, to get us anywhere, or, out of our impatience, they are too big and […]
Your Place at the Table
Soon,, many of us will reconnect with loved ones, allowing time to stop for a day while we enjoy each other’s company (and cooking!) and reflect on what really matters to us. As I have discussed in the past many women have applied the spirit of this day, both the gratitude and the giving, to […]
ThanksGIVING
Around Thanksgiving, many people focus on gratitude. On the holiday itself, as we sit around the table with family and friends, we take that time to be conscious of everything we have to be grateful for.

Being Human Being Visionary
Visionaries are not perfect ascended beings. They make mistakes, they take the wrong path, they struggle with obstacles—in other words, they are human. Being conscious of our own visionary voices, and the visionary potential in those we lead, also requires being conscious of our own stumbling blocks, particularly those that come from within. Being an […]
But I Am Not a Visionary
I’ve written a lot about the visionary voice we all have inside us, the qualities of a visionary and how that voice can guide us toward making a difference in the world while simultaneously achieving sustainable, meaningful success in our lives and work. Many of you are no doubt aware of this voice. Maybe you’ve […]
It’s Never Too Late
Sometimes rock bottom is the best foundation for building something incredible. Chris Gardner, 57, the homeless man who transformed his life and made millions, is a shining example of this. His story is told in his autobiography and the movie based on it, The Pursuit of Happyness. Dewey Bozella also knows that it’s never too […]
Sustainable Success
Do what you love. Follow your passion. Live your soul’s purpose. These ideas have an almost universal appeal, and they are, of course, true.
