While our political systems stagnate, corporations are being given an opportunity to step forward to rebuild a foundation for world peace and prosperity. Much of our future well-being lies in their hands.

The organizations boldly meeting this clarion call are adopting consciousness and culture as their star batters. Their...

For me, the singular question that lies underneath everything that is happening right now -- from Occupy Wall Street to the brutal famine in Somalia -- is: WHAT KIND OF WORLD DO WE WANT TO LIVE IN?

Those of you who know me well know I do not engage in...

Leadership is an extremely important commitment. That is why there are so few truly great leaders on the planet at any given time. Great leadership hinges on a dedication and commitment to learning -- the type of learning that demands a willingness to traverse the divide between success and failure....

Business leaders around the globe are begging their teams to tell the truth -- to challenge ideas in meetings, to answer difficult questions with candor and to rock the status quo.

The challenge is that telling the truth isn't easy. Psychologically, it demands certain conditions: feeling safe, feeling supported,...

If you made a list today of your top 25 business relationships and asked yourself, "How much full-on human contact have I had with these people this year?" we (Frank Wagner and I -- Frank is also a top leadership and executive coach, an expert on leadership behavior) think you'd...

I recently met a group of people involved in producing an event called Leaders Causing Leaders, who are as passionate about the importance of leadership, and leader "shifts" (shifts, as in consciousness) as I am. They read my last blog entitled "CEO's -- Here's One Four...

And that four-letter word is LOVE. Love is the value proposition most CEOs still don't get. ROL (Return on Love) will radically and rapidly increase your ROI (Return on Investment). When CEOs the world over take the word love out of their closet and use it as their primary driver...

With a combined 30 years in the field of executive and leadership coaching (plus five books), Stephen Miles (a Vice Chairman at Heidrick & Struggles) and I are challenging all CEO's to kick mediocrity in the pants and make the cultural changes that will allow your people to be exceptional.

Welcome to a series of blogs I will be writing with my colleague and friend, Stephen Miles. Although Steve's credentials could go on for pages, he is, in short, a renowned thought leader, C-suite (CEO and COO) coach, and global expert on succession planning. Together, we have a combined 30...

I am blessed with the good fortune of knowing Sheila Hollender, one of the co-founders of the company, Seventh Generation -- an iconic business that has courageously and positively been impacting our world for over 20 years. At Seventh Generation, "they know your home is your world" and have steadfastly...

Hard to believe that our nation's "Toxic Substances Control Act" has NOT been amended, updated or improved since its inception in 1976.

I guess our repeated exposure to toxic chemicals isn't high on our government's list of urgent issues. Perhaps it's time to change that perception. Particularly now as momentum...

Let's be honest. Making money isn't easy. It takes passion, time and focus. Lots of it!

One of the major reasons individuals and organizations fail to create sustainable wealth is that they haven't built rest, relaxation and recharging into their money strategy. Big mistake. Here's why.

Have you...

I am, unfortunately, a woman who went into menopause early (hello hysterectomy). Although I believe that everything happens in life for our advancement/learning, I'd really like to give the Almighty a piece of my mind for the challenges of the big "M."

I acknowledge that the menopause debate is...

I must admit a deep sense of relief that we have finally passed some kind of health care reform in this country. Although I am still unsure what is actually changing, or when we will see the transformation (2014 seems a long way off), I do agree it is an...

It is my privilege to share my recent conversation about the power of MOJO with my friend and mentor, Marshall Goldsmith. Marshall is the king of great advice (I am a mere princess!) and is widely recognized as the world's leading authority in helping successful leaders...

I'm not the kind of person that likes to be told how to feel on any given day. Example: Feel joyous at Xmas. Feel sad for Yom Kippur. Feel somber on Memorial Day. However, I am a sucker for Valentine's Day because I'm addicted to the power of love. Having...

The Huffington Post and Glamour Magazine are spot on to "out" our country's dysfunctional relationship with sleep. The list of negative physiological effects sleep deprivation can sponsor seems endless, but here are a few of my favorites: aching muscles (good for massage therapists), dizziness (only if swooning will get you...

Most people think of January as the month of New Years Resolutions -- a time to leave the past behind and set positive intentions for the future. However, after one year of living through a global recession, I am left wondering what, if anything, has really changed? I still feel...

Although both my parents have passed away, I vividly remember the experience of going home for the holidays. I loved my parents very much, and they shared amazing qualities: intelligence, talent, humor, joie de vivre, and a complete adoration for me, their little girl.

They were also highly opinionated,...
