Better to Give than to be Grateful

December 21, 2010 By Maribeth Kuzmeski

I received 3 email newsletters this week where the authors share with their readers all that they are grateful for. And although it is certainly good to be grateful, it seems to me that something is missing – a focus on others. I do understand that we find ourselves reflecting and thinking about what we are grateful for during this time of year. However, when truly … [Read more...]

The Marvelous Connector

December 15, 2010 By Maribeth Kuzmeski

Shea Megale is 14-year-old author of a successful book series called Marvelous Mercer; but she is no ordinary girl. Shea has Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a paralyzing disease that has left her with limited arm strength and compromised motor skills. To help her get around more independently, Shea has a companion dog named Mercer. Mercer knows 60 commands that include turning on … [Read more...]

Can Leaders Take a Break?

December 13, 2010 By Sylvia Lafair

Do we have to go off to an island with limited access to the internet to get some quiet? Is it ever okay to put a “do not disturb” sign on the office door? Can we ever admit we are fried, exhausted, done, and not be judged as lacking in mojo, courage, stamina? These were some of the thoughts I had after spending a remarkable day presenting at Purdue University in Indiana. … [Read more...]

Leadership Challenges: Start with a Strong Spine

November 8, 2010 By Sylvia Lafair

Viral Explosions

When we meet people, we are always looking for the core of who they are. Sometimes we just observe, other times we ask lots of questions. When I met Peggy McColl at the 21st Century Book Marketing Conference in San Diego, I first observed.  A seasoned speaker she was engaging and had a wealth of important information about the power of online marketing to capture … [Read more...]

Work Drama Mimics Family Drama

September 27, 2010 By Sylvia Lafair

“Can you believe it?” said the frustrated voice on the other end of the line. .. “She did it again!” the voice was getting louder. “I think it may be time for me to quit, I can never please her.” This was the essence of the frantic phone call from one of my coaching clients.   “Real life is much more intriguing than fiction” was my thought as I began to dig into the drama … [Read more...]

Entrepreneurial Tip #1: Begin with a Dream

August 13, 2010 By Linda Smith

A dream for a small business might be as simple as a sidewalk flower shop.  Or you have an idea for a cozy four-table breakfast shop.  Maybe your dream is to start up a concierge bookkeeping service.  No matter what the business is, it began with a dream. As a writer, I've been absent from Women On Business for awhile as I was working on redesigning my business blog and art … [Read more...]

The Aspirations of Women

July 6, 2010 By Mary L. Bennett

"Women simply do not have the aspiration to pursue C Suite roles which is why we do not see equal numbers of men and women in leadership positions." I have had this conversation more times then I wish to remember when working with organizations on increasing gender diversity in the leadership ranks. The aspirations of women can be a very perplexing yet popular topic of … [Read more...]

Leadership and Emotional Pollution

June 28, 2010 By Sylvia Lafair

Did you ever throw a paper cup on the ground and walk away? The women who read this blog would not think to do that. The cup would find a home in a trash can. And, if you look down and there is a candy wrapper lying on the pavement, do you pick it up and throw it in a waste basket? Most likely you would take the moment to help clean up the area. So, why do we walk past … [Read more...]

5 Lessons I’ve Learned about Leadership

June 21, 2010 By Sylvia Lafair

The economic waves have settled a bit and my company is getting ready to hire several new employees. As the resumes have rolled in, more than I can ever remember, I thought back to my very first professional job and the anticipation of the world that was unfolding before me. When you started your career what was front and center on your work agenda? I was armed with a … [Read more...]

Visibility of Female Leaders

June 15, 2010 By Mary L. Bennett

In the past two posts we have been talking about why we do not see more progress in the advancement of women in business , community and politics.   In the first post we covered an overview of what is happening to slow down our progress.  Much of what happens is subtle and not well understood. (Post May 24)    In the second post we talked about the first barrier in more detail- … [Read more...]
