Have you ever noticed the unique corporate irony that can happen to high performers?

I have realized lately that a big part of what I offer to most situations is my core need to make things concrete and specific.

Here’s the thing. Good employees do their job, great employees make their jobs better.

The month of March is full of women.  There is international women’s day, women’s history month and Ada Lovelace.

I love my Tivo.

Several people I work with attended an interesting training here at Oracle. 

As a mother of girls I’m highly sensitive to female behaviors — those that I want my girls to exhibit and those I’d like them to avoid.

As promised, I’m ready to share a TED learning. As it happens this was the first session I heard so it has the benefit of being less jumbled

I am just back in the office after my first TED experience and a quick ski trip with the family. 

I hear a lot of people talking about their Talent strategy in a way that makes me think that they might be missing the big picture.

I’ve come to realize that I have been unintentionally misled as far as the golden rule is concerned.

I had the opportunity to attend a leadership training this week. 

Let me be clear, I do not love failing.

This year I found myself struggling to define my goals.

I must confess that as a female, there are few things I like to hear better than, you are right.

Oh my goodness. I still can’t really believe it myself but it seems it’s true.

One thing I’ve noticed about high achievers is that they hate to be bored.

Those of you with long memories know that I had my innocence taken from me about the California public school system.

A few months back Steve Boese spent some time on the question about how to get more strategic.

Hat tip to the Anita Borg Institute newsletter for reminding me that I wanted to blog about the importance of influence over title.
