6 StepsTo Authentic Self Confidence For Women

By Dana Theus

Why would anyone follow a leader with no self-confidence? They wouldn’t. Do women struggle with self-confidence more than men? Yes. Then why are we surprised when there aren’t as many female leaders as male leaders in our businesses and society? We shouldn’t be. Now, I know very well that moving women in to more leadership positions is a bit more complicated than this and I’m not trying to suggest an easy fix to women’s inequality… but I am saying that for too long women have “bought” the stories society has told us about how we “can’t lead like a man” (which, by the way, research says is true) and that “leading like a woman...

What Needs To Die?

By Danielle Dowling M.A.

What in your life is so inflamed + aggravated that it gnaws at your psyche? What keeps you up at night bleary-eyed + restless? What keeps you contemplative in the shower? Zoned out behind the wheel? What in your life is dying, fading, falling apart so that something else can be manifest? And why don’t you let it die? Whatever it is, is clearly over. Done. Finito. Yet, we cling, white-knuckled, to any remaining scraps. This is our ancient fear of change run amuck. And we tell ourselves this present decay must be better than the unknown that is waiting on the other side. Like a scavenger dog we sink our teeth into the...

The True Power Of No

By Midge Greentree

I'll always remember my first, real, big no in the work world. A new supervisor, who wanted to look good on paper, who wanted to impress, I guess, began suggesting that I conduct my business in unethical ways. Soon, the suggestions became recommendations. And then came the closed-door directive. I didn't actually say no – I didn't actually say anything. I was actually quite dumbfounded and completely dumbstruck. I just remember leaving that room and meaning no, knowing it. Still, I called Pops for some advice, because I was twenty-something and new at this career thing, and Pops had seen and done it all, I was sure. Sure enough,...

Help Your Child Become An Inspired Leader

By Ashley Ryan

I recently read a study that said 78% of people are unhappy in their career. This got me thinking about the golden handcuffs that keep us stuck in jobs that we don’t love. And how with a little bit of prevention, and planting a seed for our kids, maybe they could have the opportunity to have a career they love. I did an interview with Dr. Greg Schreeuwer, from Be Who You Wanna Be, on this very topic. Q: What’s the single most important element in supporting and inspiring our children to be fulfilled, inspired and purposeful about their lives? I feel a key to supporting and inspiring our children to live a purposeful life...

Ask And It Is Given

By Leslee Horner

My daughter is a stickler for routine. If a change occurs without her knowledge, you will find her in quite a tizzy. Yesterday the weather report called for storms and possible tornadoes. I'd told her the night before that I might not be able to walk to school to pick her up. Panic flashed across her face. I assured her I'd do my best not to change the routine and sent her to bed. When we woke up in the morning, the sky was grey and the wind fierce. I sent her and her sister off and took out my journal. I wrote down a prayer. I prayed for my safety in travels that day and that the bad weather would hold off long enough...

Stop Hiding & Start Teaching - NOW!

Look at your world: What do you complain about? What ties your heart in a knot? What makes you angry, livid, incensed? What bows you in resignation and sends you to watch reruns of I Love Lucy? (I date myself. Fill in your favorite numb-out comfort.) Here's my claim and my call to action: Do something about what bugs you, what angers you, what collapses you, through teaching. What do you know? What experiences have you had? What wisdom have you gathered in the school of life that... Read More.....

The Relationship Is Dead. Stop Kissing It.

Sheena LaShay,

March 24, 2013

I should take my own advice. Seldom do we do that though. Years ago, a guy I knew bemoaned about an ex who was still his ex. The situation was complicated, although in retrospect it reminds me of a former relationship I was in. I forgot about that at the time when my words to him lacked a bit of grace. As he bemoaned missing her and wanting her and trying to make it work again even though it was MORE than obvious to EVERYONE else that it would NEVER work, I just couldn’t take it anymore. I...

Spring Raises Your Happiness Levels

Steve Sisgold,

March 23, 2013

“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.” Ernest Hemingway, “A Moveable Feast.” It’s springtime and for most people that means getting outside and seeing everything bloom, including us. Spring offers warmer days and lighter and longer evenings, which means we are more inclined to exercise and spend outdoor time and activities with... Read More.....

The Faith Factor: 3 Practices To Eradicate Fear And Strengthen Your Faith

Michael Eisen,

March 22, 2013

We all know how debilitating fear can be right? But it doesn’t have to rule your life! I’ve found that in my own life if I can make friends with my fears, accept that I have them and that they do surface at times, and then to choose to let them go instead of dwell on them—I spend so much more of my life feeling good, safe, and free. I also believe that in order to truly be able to let go of our fear we need to substitute it with something stronger that vibrates at a higher frequency. This is... Read More.....

Making Room For And Saying Hi To The Divine

Maggie Lyon,

March 21, 2013

Let’s admit it: Life feels crowded. Sometimes the days are so packed with sick kids, work deadlines, to do lists, errands, and exercise, it is as if we are in perpetual sprint—our blenders stuck on fastest puree—with very few slower moving settings in which we can pause to let the breeze of spirit in, to receive the soft sacred influx of this most sage wind. To match the demands of our worlds, we’ve grown super stealth at pushing, searching, and looking. Yet, how successful are we at not... Read More.....
