Just like an ultra-marathoner, here we are. Weâve covered a ton of ground, have LOTS to be grateful for, touched many lives with our heart and accomplishments, climbed some big mountains, celebrated milestones, but we are tired.
As we likely sped past Hanukkah and now head into Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Yearâs, weâll cherish time with family, give gifts, give love, give time, give money to amazing causes and organizations, and (for my fellow Jewish Limitless Leader subscriber family), make and give lots of food, LOL!
But there is one thing that some of us may need to unapologetically receive, so we can re-design our upcoming year.
Time.
Time to pause.
Time to reflect.
Time to recharge...
...and time to plan for a year that weâd like to create. So, in the holiday spirit, I invite you to gift yourself some time alone to do just that.
Yes, before we map out our personal and professional goals, it may be a good time to just âbe.â You see, if we do not slow down to t...
Do you ever get distracted or veer from whatâs most important? Maybe youâre too overwhelmed to think about it, or youâre not even clear on what it is anymore! If so, youâre definitely not alone. Maybe itâs time to course-correct and get more strategic about the year you want to have and the impact youâre going to create in 2022âŚ
This has certainly been a year of reflection, and itâs the perfect time to get clear on what matters most to you, how youâd like to achieve it, and how youâd like to feel in the process.
Maybe youâre so busy that you donât have time to make a shift, or you are not sure where to start. As we wind up the year, here are a couple of things that might help create the impact you want and deserve on your terms.
Consider that goals are not just about your career, such as meeting/exceeding projections, having more influence with leadership, and driving initiatives. There are important pre-steps to launch to your impact,...
I hope the upcoming holiday will be a safe and joyous time for you and your loved ones. Just a reminder (I remind myself often too!), even in challenging times, we all have things to be grateful for, be they big or small. Focusing on our gratitude helps keep our stress levels lower and makes our celebrations even more special!
Grateful for YOU!
Iâd like to express how deeply grateful I am for YOU and my Limitless Leader community! You have something SO special and unique placed within you, and itâs a real honor to provide content, tools, and resources to help you access what is already there!
Itâs my sincere hope you will rest well over the holidays, so your reverence, hope and action for 2022 will be epic.
âOne person can change the world.â
- Rosa Parks
Your voice is needed now more than ever, and I truly believe that one person CAN change the world. Can you imagine what we can do collectively?!
Grateful to give!
Along those lines, Iâd ...
If you know youâre doing a great job, but you feel like youâre getting overlooked, excluded or not on leadershipâs radar enough, it could be the perfect time to get a plan in place to dial up your visibility and rise more. While there may be many things that are not controllable, there is one thing that is 100% under your control, and thatâs the impact that YOU decide you want to have. Likely having greater impact means getting leadership on the bus with your ideas and seeing you as a confidant and trusted advisor. Letâs make sure you have a visibility plan in place now, so you can have as impactful a year as possible.
Here are a few questions that will help you take the first step, gaining personal clarity, to rise more in 2022. Deciding on the answers to these questions and taking action on them is a way of accepting where youâre being called for your highest sense of leadership. They will also help lay the foundation for a proud moment when the day comes...
Have you ever had the courage to speak up in a crucial conversation or to your leadership and then felt like someone pooped in your cereal? (I know thatâs gross, but I cannot take credit! A recent C-level client said it yesterday:).
If so, I am EXTREMELY excited to share this with YOU! On November 5, Iâll be hosting a global live masterclass for VMwareâs 6000 member Women in Leadership group, and I wanted to give my Limitless Leader family access to these important tools!
So, hereâs the treat...:ghost:
A sneak peek of the outline...
Why?
Because itâs YOUR time to speak up, be heard, and share your unique area of genius even more.
While we have come a long way in terms of equality for women in the workplace, we are not there yet and likely will not be in our lifetime.
According to the recent (September 27, 2021) McKinsey report, 1 in 3 women are considering leaving the workplace.
Feeling like youâre drinking from a firehose? Youâre not alone!
If youâd like me to talk you off the ledge:), let's chat privately ASAP.
Keep in mind...
Now that we are deep into Q4, what Iâm hearing (now more than ever) is that individuals and teams are feeling overwhelmed, depleted, and losing motivation.
Your or your teamâs highest sense of impact and contribution DO NOT live here, and itâs virtually an impossible pace to sustain.
This, of course, has a huge ripple down effect on productivity, profitability as well as talent retention... not to mention on the overall sense of well-being and impact on the family. As you can imagine, this is costly. Upwards of $500 billion dollars of lost revenue a year according to a recent Gallup study.
If you are an ambitious heart-centered leader, we lose even more. We lose your ability to access your highest sense of contribution, your ability to influence up and have the biggest voice possible at the table at a time whe...
"Talk me off the ledge, or I quit!â
Have you been feeling that way, or is it possible your team is?
Maybe it's the back-to-back-to-back-to-back meetings with little time to do your work (nonetheless time to strategize for the future.) Letâs not even talk about your "me" time to take care of yourself and nourish your soulâŚ
The great resignation is a thing, and letâs make sure you and your team are not part of it.
Unfortunately, itâs not where your (or your team's) greatest creativity, innovative ability, or profitability exist. If you are grinding it out, do you want to keep working this way, and how will it affect your ability to have your greatest impact?
The great news is that there are ways to take some control back and create more time for what matters!
Hereâs a great place to start which is taken from Greg McKeownâs book, Essentialism...
He mentions a "Zero-Based Budgeting Approach." Itâs similar to when accountants start from zero rather than from incorp...
In case you missed my LIVE interview with the amazing Denise Reed Lamoreaux (Chief Diversity Officer at ATOS), here are a few of the wisdom gems she shared:

I think itâs safe to say that most of us have found ourselves in this predicament. Clamming up when we know we should speak up. Maybe itâs an awkward situation. Maybe there is a lot at stake. Maybe itâs just easier not to say anything. Whether itâs in our living room or in the boardroom, your voice needs to be heard. Change for the better will require us all to speak up when our gut and our heart tell us to do so.
Easier said than done, right?
Yep, and weâre not alone.
A recent survey done by LeanIn and SurveyMonkey polled approximately 7,400 women and men in the workplace. While 80% of those polled considered themselves allies, less than half of the women (most notably women of color) say they have strong allies in the workplace.
Also, consider that it can be extremely difficult to âinfluence upâ. In other words, share your perspective with senior leadership especially when there is a lot at stake. Maybe you are asked to do something th...
Have you ever had a day where you had so many meetings that there was no time to strategize or do YOUR work (not to mention fit in a morning routine)? If you feel like youâre lacking control of your schedule and productivity, that can be frustrating and exhausting. If this sounds familiar, I hear this about 10 times a week in private and confidential sessions, in group trainings and in chat rolls that are lit up with these types of comments, so youâre most definitely not alone!
We need to pause that right now.Â
Why?
According to Passport Health, a corporate wellness company, if this is not addressed, there can be physical and psychological health consequences as well as serious and deleterious effects on profitability. The ripple effect of this can be staggering for a region or an entire company.
When it comes to YOU, youâre needed now more than ever. Your expertise, your passion and compassion, your leadership, and your G-d given...
