Tuesday Tidbit
September 13, 2011As mentioned in Sunday’s post, last week I attended the Ohio Diversity and Leadership Conference. Dee Dee Myers was the keynote speaker at the “2011 Ohio Most Powerful and Influential Women” awards breakfast. Ms. Myers is the former Clinton administration White House press secretary, a respected political analyst, and author of “Why Women Should Rule The World.” [...]
Sunday Service
September 11, 2011Usually, the Sunday Service post spotlights a charity whose work has appealed to me through either the organization’s vision, its mission, or timelinesss of need served. Today, however, is not a usual day. To somehow add to the conversation on this tenth anniversary of the 9/11/01 attack on the U.S., I thought I would share a few quotes [...]
Sunday Service – 9/11 National Memorials

Thanks to the passion and drive of those visionaries, the cooperation of the town of Sunbury Ohio, [...]
Newslink: Leadership
August 5, 2011Masculine “Norms”: Why Women Find It Hard to Reach The Top Let me begin by stating that I am generally not a fan of the commonly expressed belief that the reason more women aren’t in corporate leadership positions is entirely because of the men making the decisions. In my opinion, that statement is as sexist as the idea itself. Todays newlink, however, provides [...]
Book review: The Little Red Book of Wisdom
July 25, 2011The Little Red Book of Wisdom; (revised edition) by Mark DeMoss and published by Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2011 (original published in 2007) My personal book preference is one that uses real life stories that I can relate to, introducing them with an interesting approach and sharing positive outcomes and impacts; stirring in some inspirational nuggets that are easy [...]
