What is the role of shame at work? I invite you to take a few minutes to think about those times where you felt rejected, like an outsider, or a failure, or observed that in others. On the left hand side of the paper write the feeling/situation and on the right describe what was the impact wa... Continue reading...
Are you into game playing at work? No not me. Never! Never? I know many of us like to keep our heads down and just focus on our work and stay out of all the politics or interpersonal issues going on around us. But office politics does exist. It shapes organizational culture, communication flow, and the work environment every day. What are some of the games people play at work? What should you be aware of that’s occurring around you?

Now this is coaching that is not for the faint of heart! IF you're looking for results and ready for intensive 1-1 coaching that could kick traditional coaching to the curb...for some clients.

It is not easy being green as Kermit said, and its really not easy being caught up in the "boiled frog syndrome"!

First, Source/Spirit gives you a sign, then a whisper, a tap, a yell, and then a brick falls on your head (a la Oprah). Pay attention. How far back should I go to share all the signs calling me to reconnect to learning and sharing what embodied leadership is, and ‘embodiment” in general?
