    2024 The Year of More Connection

    ByTheresa December 30, 2023

    My theme for 2023 was simple, “More sparkle”. More sparkle in my writing, more sparkle on my nails, more sparkle in my eyes and with the people around me. Most days, I felt successful. “More sparkle” was a personal reminder to include joy in my life after two (three) long years of work, toil, and…

    It’s My Anniversary! Fourteen Years Later and Going Strong

    ByTheresa November 20, 2023March 25, 2024

    Fourteen years ago today was my last day as an employee. It was the day I said goodbye to pension, benefits, and certainty. I’ve been working for me, and the clients I serve, ever since. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I sent out an email to those I had worked with most…

    This one’s for the not-for-profits: What hat are you wearing today?

    ByTheresa July 6, 2023July 6, 2023

    So, what hat are you wearing today? Are you the innovator, the problem solver, the communicator, or the cheerleader? For most leaders, it’s a fact that wearing many hats is a fundamental part of the job. Whether you are leading a small grassroots organization, or a large established non-profit, the demands of the job are…

    Why Connection Matters Here, There, and Everywhere

    ByTheresa May 2, 2023May 2, 2023

    We are wired to connect. After pandemic upheaval and social isolation, we were changed. When connection is taken away, there are long-lasting and sometimes dire consequences. The Reality We know that social isolation is hard, but did you know that social exclusion can feel like pain? Let’s consider one well known study conducted by UCLA neuroscientist…

    Rise Above Life’s Challenges: How to Build Inner Resilience and Thrive

    ByTheresa May 1, 2023May 1, 2023

    It’s Mental Health Week and few concepts have been linked more to mental health over the last couple years than resilience. Resilience is a fundamental quality that helps us thrive. It’s what allows us to pick ourselves up after a setback, dust ourselves off, and keep moving forward towards our goals. Or at least get…

    Culling Your Circle

    ByTheresa April 20, 2023April 20, 2023

    This image popped up on my social media memories today – I shared it four years ago. I think I’ve learned with age (and wisdom) that it really is ok to make your circle smaller if it means having only the people around you who support you. It’s also ok to replace the weak links…

    Why Can’t We Describe Our Own Perfect Work Day?

    ByTheresa April 10, 2023April 10, 2023

    What are the parts of your work you enjoy and what parts do … not enjoy. I was recently thinking about this so I could hand off some of my least desirable tasks, and was curious how my preferences lined up with others. So, I began searching for examples of other people’s perfect work day….
