Feeling Like an Imposter? – Play the Film!
March Madness is my favorite time of year. Not only does it coincide with the freshness of spring, but it also brings about additional feelings of excitement and possibility, seeing dreams come true and hard work pay off. While watching this year, I came across the Under Armour commercial below, and I knew I had to post about it.
Your Vulnerability is Not Unprofessional
In talking with my social media writer Lindsey Gough about potential newsletter subjects, she said something that struck me as valuable and I wanted to share it here. She said: “Your vulnerability is not unprofessional.” Oftentimes as leaders we want to present a strong, confident persona, so we avoid getting personal or showing vulnerability.

What do Spring and Vaccines have in Common?
Recently, I have noticed a bit of a spring in my step (pun intended). Here in Raleigh, NC, the weather has started to warm up and the daffodils are blooming – the first sign I always notice that we’re on the cusp of spring. At the same time, more and more states are opening up wider vaccine distribution groups.
There is No Such Thing as Multitasking

Diversify Your Network
As Black History Month comes to a close, I want to talk about a strategy to diversify our lives beyond February.

These things are excellent, and important. But I’d like to
Work-life Balance, Blend, or Blur?
I have struggled with work-life balance challenges long before COVID. If you ask my husband, he’ll tell you I still am. What can I say, I’m a work in progress! These days the lines between home and work are really blurry as people work from home, continue quarantining, and many people still juggling home school/remote learning for their children. I
Helpful or Not? Your Intention Doesn’t Matter!
I was talking to a good friend recently, and she shared a bit of wisdom she had heard. It resonated with me, so I wanted to share it with you. Help is only help if it is perceived as help, otherwise it is viewed as judgement. And no one likes to feel judged or told what to do.
Groundhog Day…Again
Have you ever had the feeling of waking up, and all grogginess disappears as you remember today is the day you’re going to Disney World? You have no desire to roll over and go back to sleep. Rather, you feel the excitement and anticipation and spring out of bed. While work may not generate the same enthusiasm of Disney world,
Drop a Few Balls and Learn to Juggle
I probably have 13 different goals / habits on my list that I want to achieve for 2021. How many times have we started off in January trying to accomplish all of the changes we desire at once? At least for me, that strategy has never worked. When your focus is divided 13 different ways, you can’t give
Hop Off the Hamster Wheel of Life by Setting an Intention for the Year
Last week, I talked about cleaning out your fridge to make more space. This week, I wanted to talk about what you want to create with that new-found space. Something that has become popular in recent years is selecting a one-word intention for the year. Not being clear about your intentions may feel like you are running on the hamster
