I don’t often share my day-to-day life updates with you on my blog. You are likely busy and I highly value the time you invest with me. Therefore, I aim to keep the content power-packed and value added for you.

How To Get Caught Up On What You’ve Missed
Its summer in the northern hemisphere. That means vacation time! Don’t mind if I do. We all need a little rejuvenation throughout the year and this is a great time to do it. Whether you love the mountains, the beach, or just a quiet spot to relax, everyone needs a vacation.
How to Create a Productivity Friendly Environment
In our efforts to increase productivity, we find the strangest places to get work done. A friend posted on Facebook yesterday that he was working from the back of his SUV in the parking lot of a big box store while others did the shopping. I’ve written a blog post while zipping across Scotland by rail. Another friend of mine works in an open office space where nothing separates her desk from her coworkers’. Yet, every environment isn’t suited for productivity.
How to Accomplish Your Goals: Avoid 8 Common Mistakes
Nearly half of Americans will embark on a new set of goals this week (i.e. New Year’s Resolutions). According to the stats, the vast majority of people who make resolutions will fail to reach their goals – 92%. Furthermore, 24% fall short year after year. That reminds me of the definition of insanity (doing the same thing and expecting different results). Are you one of these people? If so, you likely have a flaw in your achievement strategy. If you’ve struggled to achieve your goals, allow me to show you how to overcome the most common stumbling blocks.

Beware the Curse of Knowledge: 3 Things Leaders Must Share
Recently, I was asked to hand off a training event that I usually lead to a few of my colleagues. After they took the reins, we sat down to discuss how they did with the first event. During the discussion, I found myself getting slightly frustrated that important details were overlooked and the message wasn’t as crisp as we wanted it to be.
It was then that I realized I had withheld information that would have been helpful to my colleagues. This wasn’t intentional. Perhaps I’d mentioned a few ideas and suggestions. However, I’d assumed that my colleagues had paid attention to the strategies I used to connect to the audience, the illustrations I gave that resonated with the group and the questions I asked to bring people into the conversation. I made an assumption, a dangerous one.
Why Should Leaders Encourage Employees to Get More Sleep?
News Flash: We need more sleep! Most Americans get only 6 hours of sleep per night, according to Dr. Daniel Amen, author of Making a Good Brain Great.
Should employees’ sleep habits become part of a company’s conduct policies alongside drug use, sexual harassment, and drinking? In some professions, being intoxicated on the job is grounds for termination or even losing your license to practice. A lack of sleep can produce the same level of impairment. Yet, America’s workforce continues to operate at less than its best day after day.
Highlights from 2014
Thank you for making 2014 an amazing year for me and The Excelling Edge. On December 31st, 2013, I introduced this blog for the first time. I am honored and grateful that you chose to read my blog and share your time with me.
As we close out 2014 and look eagerly into the new year, I’m reminded how important it is to take my own medicine. I encourage others to dedicate time to rest, rejuvenate and build connection with family and friends. Therefore, I’m taking some time to follow my own advice, to enjoy the Christmas season and to prepare myself for 2015. To close out the year, rather than a new post, I’d like to share some of this year’s highlights.
