Free to Serve

A question haunts; Have I properly served in what you need? Accountability beckons; There is power no doubt in a voice freed. No excuse are distractions of a day, a voice silenced in the fray. Refocused and ready I now stand, authentically offering the serving hand. An assertion made; Important you are and free I [...]

An Environment of Focus

This is being written as I continue to process what I perceive as the end of a long run of work with an organization. I am reminded how easy it is to blame. The most appropriate response for me may be to say, “It is what it is.” However, I realize in writing I can [...]

This post, and the next 6, are rooted in the topic of voice. The longer I study, observe, and practice in the freedom of voice, the more I am in awe of the power. Those who know you best – who love you authentically – appreciate you for something they know consistently about you; something [...]
