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...

Should I Shave My Pubic Hair? When I was on tour with Lissa Rankin, a question came up at our first college chat event -- a question about pubic hair. Lissa had just explained that not all STDs are prevented with condom use. Pubic lice is one of those. A young woman then asked if she should just shave all of her pubic hair in order to avoid exposure. I am sure there had to have been a time when shaving (or waxing) your pubic hair was akin to shaving you head. When I was a little girl... Read More.....

How Have You Changed?

Danielle LaPorte. Grade 1. Haircut by dad. "People change all the time and forget to tell each other." - Lillian Gershwin If you doubt that change happens, dig me in 1976 (see picture above!). Change is a marvelous thing to celebrate. Acknowledging growth helps us to keep on growing. Taking stock of the leagues you've traveled is especially useful for those of us who drive ourselves so hard to be...whatever we're craving to be. : I used to have glasses. And then I had lazer eye... Read More.....
