The Only Way Out is Through

Sharon Tewksbury-Bloom
I put my trekking poles out in front of me to provide support as I lowered my foot onto a steep “trail” of loose rock. My knee crackled as it took on the weight of me and my pack. Scar tissue from six years of playing rugby was arguing with my decision to go backpacking…

What’s YOUR Gold?

Sara Wagner
My HYPO2 strength and conditioning coach recently inquired, “What’s YOUR gold?” (HYPO2 provides services for world-class athletes chasing elusive gold medals; more importantly, they support local community members in exploring their potential). While I interact with him in a gym setting, I realized there is no separation between how I determine success in something I…

The Missed Message of Minimalism

Sakenya McDonald
Ancient religion includes many spiritual teachings from times of old. As the years pass, teachings become philosophy. Philosophy informs religion. The social nature of humans means that like-minded individuals will seek out those that are similar. As groups of individuals joined, teachings were reinterpreted. Sometimes teachings were contextually fragmented which resulted in misapplication. Mistranslation of…

Cupcakes and Rainbows

Johanna Klomann
You read that right; the best advice I have ever heard is from a Troll and is about cupcakes and rainbows.  From the movie “Trolls” ‘Hey, I know it’s not all cupcakes and rainbows, but I’d rather go through life thinking it mostly is instead of being like you.  You don’t sing.  You don’t dance. …

While dogs do not…

Empowering Your Leadership Team

Julie Ryan
We’ve heard it a thousand times.  “Good leaders don’t micromanage.”  Honestly, most of us have heard these words from our managers.  My obsessive-compulsive tendencies have earned me the appellations of “control freak” and “meddler” and probably some even less flattering terms that weren’t said to my face. But of course, leaders need to be involved…

Stay the Course

Starla Collins
“Stay the course.” One of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies, The Patriot. When the movie came out in 2000, my three children were heading straightway into their teen years. Those years were consumed with decision making and so many highs and lows. (We would like to think all this ends when…

How and Why to Tell Your Story

Steve Peru
A few years ago, I participated in a leadership development group and learned a unique way of looking at yourself through storytelling.   The individual behind this concept, Marshall Ganz, is a senior lecturer at Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.  Dr. Ganz spent his early years as an organizer with the United Farm Workers before…

Picking Up Your Own Brass: Lessons from the FBI

Peter Janik
Picking up your own brass: physically picking up the brass shell casing at the gun range. In other words, being responsible. Not being too “big for your britches.” Doing the grunt work. Willingly pitching in at all levels. So, what does that have anything to do with leadership and you? To begin with, it’s actually…
