Just Arrived; The Last Month of One Helluva a Year!
I belong to a network of entrepreneurs and small business owners called, “What Works.” A few weeks ago its founder, Tara McMullin, posed a question: “What’s your REAL capacity?” She posed it at an interesting time because, well, capacity was something with which I was...
What’s the Thing Babies, Businesses and Money Have in Common?
You are probably thinking, where is she going with this title? Bear with me. As you may know, I’m an avid podcast listener, mostly those of a business and political nature. This post is inspired by one such episode; the replay of the Ezra Klein Show, “The Best...
Why Do Things Break at the Most Inconvenient Time?
I know the title is a rhetorical question. Yet, it is one to which everyone reading this can likely relate. Maybe your car went on the fritz in the middle of a trip. Or, maybe an oven or refrigerator went on the brink in the midst of hosting a dinner party. Or,...
The Truth About Results: It’s Largely in What You Can’t See

One of the Most Effective Responses to a Question Is…
Asking questions is a part of my nature. Growing up, my mother called me Rona Barrett because of my incessant questions. So, it’s probably quite fitting that I make a living asking them. Often directly, as when I’m working 1:1 with coaching clients. And indirectly, as...
Is This Something You Want to Get Better At?
Beginning tomorrow, I’m doing something I’ve never done before. And I have my friends Dorie and Carlton to thank for the inspiration. Taking off every Friday, as they do, is not really a goal I’ve ever had. But, lately I’ve been working on integrating the idea...
