It’s a dark stormy day here in South Florida. Looks like rainy season has moved in a few weeks early. Every few moments the afternoon crackles with the sights and sounds of lightning streaking across the sky. I’m happy I’m indoors. There’s a lot of electricity out there. Speaking of electricity, it was…
I just came from the World Happiness Summit this weekend brimming with ideas and thoughts on how to best spread some of the science and story shared there. Which I will do over time. But I learned one thing there that rocked my world so much that I am going to keep this…
I’m still saying Happy New Year! How about you? I’m still saying it to connect the fact that we have the power to make it happy. As a leader, let me invite you to think about the role that “happiness” or otherwise said – well-being – plays in the success of your enterprise. I get a…
They’re always watching you. 50 – 70% of an organization’s climate is determined by the actions of their leaders. Yep, that means you. Much of the time you spend at work is spent in clear view of those who report to you. In clear view of those who either admire you (and look for…
I know you have heard me say that before. Just in case you forgot, I thought I would remind you. If you’ve ever wished you (or your business) could be happier it’s an important thing to remember. What does it mean? It means you can train your brain to be happier. The more you…
As the year winds down and comes to a close, and our minds turn to celebration, I’d like to invite you to spend a little time on reflection. These will be some of the questions I’ll be playing with as I reflect on my year. Please feel free to use them, or use…

As most of you know, I teach positivity and happiness practices in business and I often hear, “ You must be happy all the time.” Surprise, I’m not happy all the time.
Sometimes I’m downright crabby. Lots of things effect my crabbiness – the weather, what I’ve eaten, how much sleep and exercise I get, the people I’m spending time with. Much like most people there are lots of things that irritate me, when I let them. (And yes, of course I do.)
Do you think different generations find it difficult understanding each other? I often hear that the older generation (now my age) doesn’t think the younger generation (now younger than my daughter) has any values. I don’t believe that. In fact, I think they have similar values, but they show up differently. For instance –…
Buckminster Fuller, the creator of the Geodesic Dome once said, “Relationships are everything and everything is relationship.” He saw the world as a whole – where everything is connected to everything else and where the relationships between things are as important as the things themselves. His work synthesized intelligence from the fields of architecture, design,…
