We had a grief counselor at the office today, helping some of our employees through the recent and sudden loss of a beloved, long-time employee. As I was leaving an afternoon meeting, I saw the counselor packing up her papers, getting ready to head out. I stopped and thanked her for being available for our staff. [...]

Thank you Thursday
May 31, 2012Thank you Thursday
May 17, 2012Today, I am thankful for inspiration that comes from the most unexpected people or places. Monday evening, a front line customer service representative from one of my teams sent me a lovely email, sharing a story about a friend of his. The crux of the story was that while training for a local 5k, the runner [...]
Thank you Thursday
May 10, 2012I had lunch today with an old friend. Susan was one of my college instructors a few years ago. I was in her classes for three of the four core leadership classes at Otterbein University. After completing her classes, I wanted/needed more so I engaged her as an ontological business coach (meaning, an emphasis on discovering what’s possible). [...]
Thank you Thursday
May 3, 2012This has been one of the crazy-busiest weeks I’ve had in a long time. Trying to get caught up after a week out of town is generally not easy under any circumstances. Trying to get caught up while also balancing (juggling?) several other projects and initiatives is turning out to be impossible. And then there’s finally having [...]
Thank you Thursday
April 26, 2012I am fortunate enough to be spending this week working in Salt Lake City, Utah. Except for when my Dad passed away, I haven’t spent this much consecutive time away from my husband since 1989, so that’s been kind of strange. However, aside from missing home, it’s been a fabulous week. The scenery is incredible. [...]
Tuesday Tidbit
April 24, 2012A different kind of Tuesday Tidbit today… Tomorrow is Administrative Professionals Day. I don’t think our office is any different than most when it comes to the value of our administrative professional, a.k.a. Stacie*. Anyone who needs to know almost anything, find almost anyone, or generally accomplish the impossible knows that she is one to count on. She handles a [...]
Thank you Thursday
April 19, 2012I’m sure the news of Dick Clark’s passing yesterday brought back many memories for a lot of people. There are many younger people who only know Dick Clark as the host of New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, or maybe they’ve seen Dick Clark Productions named in the credits of game shows or award shows. But, before Times Square, before the [...]
Thank you Thursday
April 12, 2012My husband and I love to go to high school sporting events. This time of year, it’s baseball, baseball, baseball! Yesterday after work, we headed to one of the local high schools and were amazed at the field improvements since last year. The principal of the high school happens to be a friend of ours. [...]
Thank you Thursday
April 5, 2012. In honor of the start of the major league baseball season, this week’s Tuesday Tidbit post included several baseball quotes that can also be applied to the workplace. After reading the message at work, one of my team members sent me the following email: You are just a wonder, El. This one really sums up [...]
Will you join Thank You Thursday? #TYT
March 29, 2012While I take a few days off to enjoy a visit with my grandson (speaking of things to be thankful for), enjoy a re-post of my very first Thank You Thursday, originally published October 14, 2010. Every Thursday since then has brought a new expression of gratitude. I invite you to join the Thank You Thursday [...]
