May 24, 2012Sunday Service – HopeMob.org
May 20, 2012Today’s service opportunity comes to us via @BrentPeak on Twitter. He posted this message this morning: HopeMob? My curiosity was piqued. To quote its tagline, HopeMob is “where generous strangers unite.” The website has a process for registered members to influence which charity drive is the current feature story. In addition to the feature, there are [...]

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). [...]

April 17, 2012I’ve been giving some thought to a talk I’m giving later in the year about diversity. Diversity comes in many forms; gender, cultural, and generational, to name just a few. There are just as many ways to illustrate how diversity enriches us. Take seashells, for example. These three jars of shells are in my office, reminders of favorite [...]

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. [...]

April 10, 2012The Art of Possibility by Rosamund and Benjamin Zander is one of my favorite books from the leadership core at Otterbein University. Benjamin Zander is the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also an inspirational storyteller, speaking and writing about possibility thinking, living and leading. The clip below is just under two minutes, but provokes a meaningful activity [...]
Sunday Service – Kiva
March 11, 2012There are people all over the world who, while living in impoverished conditions, see a way out with an inspired entrepreneurial idea. These people are willing to work hard to farm or weave or fish or build, but don’t have the resources to get even the smallest business off the ground. More often than not, traditional financial institutions are either unavailable or [...]

February 28, 2012Starting at 8:00 a.m. this morning, I am spending two and a half days in operations strategic planning meetings. I really enjoy the brainstorming aspect; encouraging a wide-ranging collection of ideas be put on the table, seeing them filter down to a smaller collection of really good ideas, then formulating an action plan around them. I thought some quotes on the importance [...]

February 16, 2012Every day, I DVR The Ellen Show. In the evening, I catch up as time allows. Last night, I watched Monday’s show with guest Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer was wearing a black skirt with the word L-O-V-E across the front. Ellen commented that it is good for the universe to wear clothes with positive words like that. She asked [...]

February 7, 2012On my flight home Sunday night, I read Mark Sanborn’s newest book, Up, Down or Sideways. This book is a little different than his others; it is a tool box, of sorts. In it, you will find tips on “how to succeed when times are good, bad or in between.” It’s a fairly quick read, [...]
