Can 2026 be about Value
December 31 is always a strange day for me. It is like turning a chapter or even a new book. While I know I will inherit everything from last year, the good and the bad. Yet I feel January 1 is a new thing and demands more action. Maybe December 31 asks us for more…

A time together at work
I don’t think I have ever shared a picture from work on social media and blogs but this one I needed to 😊 Last Thursday we had a team-building event. I look at these events to do three things. Connect during the event, Reset & Rewire for work when the event ends and Reflect on…

Our Relationship with work
We don’t work for the same reasons at 25 as we do at 55, yet companies and people could mistakenly treat us in the same way. It is not anyone’s fault it is about change, about what matters, what is visible and what transpires in our professional life. What We Seek at Work Changes with…

My journey of recovery and the process

What makes me (us) happy ?
Sometimes I wonder what makes me happy. What makes others happy. What makes us all do what we do. There are no straight answers. It is a mix bag. Not having straight answers does not mean we stop asking these questions. What makes me happy?There are many things that make me feel good and for…

The Cost of not doing
‘The cost of not doing’ is a profound question. Yet we ask less of it. The question feels trivial. We are suppose to do things & not ask what happens if we don’t do it. But the question and the answer can make a significant impact on how we prioritize things. Both in personal and…

Calling In by Loretta Ross: Book Positive
Calling Out and Calling In. I figured out the importance of that differentiation and was able to delver deeper into the meaning and difference as I read Loretta Ross’s new book Calling In: How to Start Making Change with Those You’d Rather Cancel. We don’t agree with everyone we come across. People at work and…
