Lead May 17, 2018

This month, I want us to look at some very important aspects of leadership—including why leaders fail. But I also want to try and equip you with some lessons I have learned over the years, about being a leader. For this reason, every Thursday this month, I will share one of my leadership tips. If you are just beginning your leadership journey, it is my hope that these will give you some practical help in fully embracing your current role. Or, if you’ve been leading for a while that they will assist you as you begin empowering others to lead. [...]

This month, I want to help equip you with some lessons I have learned over the years, about being a leader. For this reason, every Thursday in May, I will share one of my leadership tips. If you are just beginning your leadership journey, it is my hope that these will give you some practical help in fully embracing your current role. Or, if you’ve been leading for a while that they will assist you as you begin empowering others to lead. For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned.   —Benjamin Franklin Leadership Tip #11: Get Organized Very [...]

Lead May 3, 2018

Often, when we start out in our careers, we don’t think about the leadership that will be involved. Instead we focus so much on the reason we first went into our profession, like serving people, creating things, or even the money. We don’t realize how much of our role will require leading those around us.  Or, perhaps we started in a job with very few leadership responsibilities, but now we’re looking to make a change. And the new path we are considering requires leading others—maybe even more than we ever saw ourselves doing. Either way, at some point in our [...]

Whenever I am in a hard season, and I am facing a daunting obstacle, I feel like I go into gamer mode. Now, I don’t play video games, so I don’t know that this metaphor is fully accurate, but in these times, I zone in. I focus all my energies around a certain problem and try to come up with the best plan of attack. I find myself looking for the right button to pulverize the issue stressing me out. Only, there’s no remote in life that does that. Friends, we have just about made it through the gloomier month [...]

Maybe being a writer makes me a little biased, but I think as human beings, we have a thing for stories. How else could we explain our need to binge watch TV shows? Or why we wait in long lines when our favorite books are turned into movies? More than any of these though, the thing that has convinced me of this, is my years speaking to teenagers. Every Sunday morning for over seven years, I used to give a message to seventh and eighth graders. Often, I’d look out into their young faces to find them sleeping, texting, or [...]

Who’s In Charge?

When it comes to love, romance, and relationships, leadership is often only thought of in terms of initiation. In other words, “Who asked Who.” Or, as I have heard many girls say, “Why won’t he ask me out?” “Why won’t more guys step up and ask girls out?” Proving that there are some patriarchal roots that even us ladies have a hard time letting go of. That there is something to be said for a man pursuing the woman he loves. But, after the first dance, the first date, and for some of us, even after the man gets down [...]

Love Learn Lead January 4, 2018

Ok, I admit it. I did it. When writing the date for today’s post, I typed 2017. It is going to take a few times of writing dates down to solidify in my mind that it is indeed 2018. But here we are, having entered another year. This past Monday, Tony and I left the frozen tundra that is Wisconsin, where we were visiting family, and are now back at home in Pennsylvania. Though where we live has yet to fully feel like home, we are eternally grateful the winters here are a little milder than where we grew up. [...]

The countdown to Christmas is dwindling. In a few days Tony and I will get on a plane and head to the cold, northern shores of Lake Michigan to see our family in Wisconsin. There we will be greeted by one of the greatest gaggles of nieces and nephews ever. Every one of them will have grown way too much over the past year, which will make us feel both old and sad that we live so far away. But it will also make us savor our time with them all the more. As we prepare for the Christmas weekend [...]

We’re not even to the middle of November, and yet the Christmas Creep is well underway. Music and displays in stores are already trying to get us to start our gift shopping, when I just want to hold on to the sunny days of fall a little bit longer. So for this reason, no more mention of Christmas. For today’s Love Learn Lead, I am sharing a recipe I love, a few books that have helped me learn an important lesson about life, and a crucial leadership tip to consider this season. Enjoy! Love One of the things I love [...]

Just like that, we are at the end of August. Kids have already started back to school where I live, solidifying the fact that summer is coming to a close. But before we head into the focus that will kick off our fall on the blog, we have one more day talking about travel. Today, I talk about a city I love, a quote I find to be true about new experiences, and our latest Leadership Tip. Wherever you are, I hope you are squeezing out every last wonderfully, warm moment of summer. I hope you are surrounded by great [...]
