FINDING YOUR PLACE IN THE WORK OF THE FUTURE
Career Journal
January 13, 2022
The pandemic has left us with a legacy of new ways of working. Highly placed officers of major
corporations were looking for new metaphors, frameworks, and strategies to turn pain points into
pivot points. The events of 2020 undercut any linear logic in planning and designing work that
worked for people, organizations, and their communities. These events tell us the future of work
requires paradigm shifts in corporate culture, co-collaborative teamwork, and career potential.

Lost Your Mojo? Me Too. Here's how I found it again
LinkedIn
March 22, 2021
I’ve lost and regained my mojo many times during my life and career, however those dull feelings have usually been brief and were far outweighed by the sparkly times. I'm a glass-half-full person, silver linings all round, an optimistic outlook on life. Which has made the last few months a double whammy for me.
2020 and the Covid Curveball has been tough for all. The bright side (for me) was that 2020 was full of distractions, redesigning programs for virtual delivery, playing with new tech tools and upping our facilitation game. I didn't have time to languish, it was all hands on deck. Busy. Busy. Busy.
As the year end came to an end, the optimism of a 'New Year New Beginning' quickly came crashing down with the reality of 'New Year Same Struggles'. Ugh. I struggled. The Funk took hold.

Is Your Leadership Showing?
LinkedIn
March 03, 2021
There's a great Maya Angelou quote that we use in many of our programs here at SkyeTeam:
“People won’t remember what you said, or what you did, they’ll remember how you made them feel.”
Putting people first has always been at the heart of what we do, so putting together an article to help others on their leadership journey seemed fitting. Being a leader doesn't happen with a title, it comes with deliberate thought and action, and carries quite a bit of responsibility.
Especially today.

7 WAYS TO CREATE CONNECTION REMOTELY

In our life before Covid (B.C.), most of us saw our colleagues, friends, and family every day. We had one or two long-distance relationships and that was plenty. Now, times are changing yet again with the release of the vaccine. We are now in After Distancing (A.D.). This raises the question…

One Thing... New Year Resolutions and Goal Setting
LinkedIn
January 04, 2021
I don't know about you, but I have always kind of despised New Year's Eve. A night that has been bestowed with almost magical powers of transformation. 'Almost magical' being key, since most of the promises of New-Year-New-Me fall by the wayside within a matter of weeks, if not days.
10...9...8...7...
Our eyes glued to the glittering ball, or the face of Big Ben, our hearts race...
6...5...4...
Excitement, anticipation, full of hope for the new year, our hopes and dreams are tantalizingly close...
3...2...1...
BONG! The sound of anticlimax and reality crashes around us. Everything is the same. Everyone is the same. I am the same.

If You Don't Like the Show - Change the Channel
LinkedIn
November 19, 2020
When I looked at the clock, it was 8am and I had been crying off and on for an hour. This time it wasn't James Blunt's fault. I’d spent the last hour with colleagues sharing my story of how I got to where I am today. Those of you who know me will realize that talking about myself is not my forte. Those of you who don’t, just trust me, talking about myself is not my forte. For those 60 minutes, however, I surprised myself (and my colleagues). This was me. All of me. OK most of me. Some of me.
It wasn't how I had planned to spend my morning. I'd been procrastinating on the conversation that triggered my reactions... after all, my story was boring. What did I have to share? As it turns out, quite a bit.
