Just this last spring, Harvard Business Review published an article titled “Leading an Exhausted Workforce”. I absolutely loved this article. I loved that the author so blatantly calls out that we are still – yes still – exhausted. It’s what I see. It’s what I hear. On a regular basis. The acknowledgement and validation of… Continue reading Calculated Steps
I was raised by two loving, self-proclaimed workaholics. My parents ran their own business when I was young and they worked absolutely crazy hours. I was an only child, so I was alone. A lot. This frame of reference growing up was unique. Witnessing my parents build and run a successful business provided me a… Continue reading My Story
This time of year, we like to reflect and identify some team goals to get us through the end of the year. This November, we are focusing on carving out some time and space to spend the “Holidays Unplugged.” To do this well and still meet those high work demands, it’s all about three things:… Continue reading Holidays Unplugged

It’s more of a recognition that despite the chaos, things are either “ok” or… Continue reading Focus to Steady

We are in a moment of unknown. This applies to our immediate families, close communities, the wider community, our neighbors and world. It can be difficult to focus and stay steady at such times. Our minds may be racing with scattered thoughts, concerns and fears, or we may feel frustration or annoyance at the unexpected… Continue reading How to Work in Unstable Times
It can be challenging at times – juggling work and life. Our Team met over coffee and tea last week at Steam Dot and we laughed about our own challenges in cultivating balance. We discussed our efforts and how we connect to full and meaningful use our time. The Integration Group brainstorms often on how to better… Continue reading Don’t Be Rushed
The front of my refrigerator is a well-loved canvas. Crayon colored pictures cover nearly every bit of silver to be found – no doubt, a common scene for parents everywhere. However, in the upper left-hand corner, it holds a drawing of my own. It’s a simple picture of a house, family, and two words written… Continue reading Resilience at Work Reminders for Good Management (and Parenting)
