Sept 24, 2018 - Are your values in the forefront? Are you allowing your values and what is most important to you guide you forward in the decisions you are making?

Jan 23, 2017 - Is there a carrot dangling? Are you anxiously awaiting someone to commit to an initiative they continue to show interest in, yet they aren't making the final commitment to engage?

Nov 28, 2016 - Are you sharing enough? Are you keeping too much inside, not letting others know what you are thinking or feeling about a particular situation?

Are you expecting a great deal, yet not sharing clearly why it is important to you and of value to those who are assisting you?

June 23, 2014 - Are your values driving your action? Are you hesitating to take action in a particular instance and are uncertain why you feel so hesitant? Chances are it is because one of your values is in conflict? Have you taken action that you regret or now believe was the wrong action to take?

Sept 17, 2012 – Are your expectations too high? Your expectations are what they are because of your aspirations, values, and who you are as a person and a professional.

Setting standards for yourself and what is expected of others in support of you is your right. However, when it impacts others, make sure...
