Facilitator of Possibility for Conscious Founders and Mission-Led Organizations & Teams. Founder of Brave YES Mindset Framework? for greater visibility, impact & revenue. Human Flourishing Activist
How’s your progress going this year toward your goals? Did you set big goals? Small, achievable goals? No goals? What worked? What didn't? It's that time of year when we're looking forward to the year ahead -- and what a year ahead it will be. But, before you do that ... stop and do a really beautiful and powerful glance back at not just what you've accomplished, but the patterns and self-sabotage you experienced, the projects you let go unfinished. And, be honest and ask yourself ... why? Why were you successful in some things and not in others? Then, ask yourself this: WHO? Who supported you the most? Who didn't? ?? Who do you need to reach out to in the year ahead? >>> Heart-Centered Support, Aligned Accountability and Compassionate Courage will be the highest forms of work in the coming year. P.S. My Plan Your Bravest Business Year Yet DIY Program is going to be available soon at a super sweet price. Leave YES! as a comment below or send me a message if you want to know more.

Ever wonder why some teams light up and others fizzle out? 'Feel-good' chemicals play a strong role here. And the right leadership can harness them to spark genuine connection and engagement. As leaders, we often focus on tools, strategies, and processes to drive engagement. But what if the most powerful resources were already within us? The science of well-being goes beyond balance and downtime—it’s about understanding the body’s “feel-good” chemicals and how to elevate them for better performance and satisfaction. Here’s how you can help your team tap into these natural motivators: 1. Dopamine (Achievement & Goals): Recognize and celebrate wins, big or small. Set achievable milestones to fuel motivation. And boost this “reward” chemical as much as possible. 2. Oxytocin (Connection): Build genuine interactions. Encourage moments of gratitude and strengths-spotting. The trust and support built in these moments release oxytocin, deepening relationships. 3. Serotonin (Calm & Stability): Create an environment where people feel valued, safe, and seen. Support a culture that promotes respect, psychological safety, and kindness. This nurtures serotonin levels, reducing stress. 4.. Endorphins (Energy & Resilience): Incorporate movement. A quick walk, a laugh, or shared activities can boost endorphins. This improves energy and alleviating stress. Understanding and nurturing these natural chemicals isn't just neuroscience—it’s leadership. When teams learn to activate their own well-being, they’re not just surviving; they’re thriving. How do you support well-being in your organization? Share your thoughts below! #wellbeing #workplace #dopamine #feelgood

When Beth spoke, no one listened. So, over time, she mentally checked out. That’s now called ‘quiet quitting’. That phrase may be new, but it’s something I’ve seen throughout my career. Quiet quitting is what happens when people feel they can’t bring their whole selves to work. It’s when they start doing the bare minimum, simply because work has lost its meaning. They show up, but they’re disengaged. It’s easy to label it as laziness or lack of motivation. But here’s the truth: quiet quitting is rarely an issue just with the individual. More often, it’s a sign that something isn’t working at a deeper level. Imagine sharing ideas for years and not being heard. Over time, it wears you down. You feel disconnected from the work itself, from your team, and sometimes even from yourself. I’ve seen this pattern across industries, in organizations big and small. When people feel that their values or strengths don’t align with their role, they check out—not out of choice, but out of survival. So, where do we start to fix this? By creating spaces where people don’t just work—they feel they belong. → Where we understand how to lift each other up, instead of just pushing for more or pushing away. → Where people know their contributions matter, not just to the organization, but to them personally. Quiet quitting isn’t the real problem. It’s a symptom. The real challenge is the culture—helping people use their strengths, feeling connected to themselves, the work they do, and the people they do it with. #career #organziation

Three decades of yoga have taught me this: mindfulness is about openness. As a yoga practitioner for over 30 years, I’ve come to realize that mindfulness extends far beyond personal practice—it’s a vital leadership practice. Mindfulness helps me develop clarity and understanding in business, enhance relationships, and navigate my own quirks and unhelpful reactions. While “mindfulness” is often overused, its essence is simple: can I approach the present moment with curiosity, openness, and acceptance? This practice gives me the space to fully engage with what’s happening—acknowledging both the challenges and the joys without ignoring or indulging difficulties. In leadership, this is essential. There are times when it feels easier to forge ahead with action rather than pause to understand the heart of the matter. I’ve made that mistake more often than I care to admit. However, being mindful—embracing curiosity, openness, and acceptance—leads to better, more thoughtful decisions. It fosters clarity amidst chaos. In leadership, these moments are crucial. When we embody openness and curiosity, we empower ourselves to make decisions that are thoughtful and purposeful, rather than merely reactive. #yoga #mindfulness #leadership

The key to great leadership is recognizing that profits don’t drive people. Yes, profits matter, but focusing solely on profits means missing the people who create them. People are the heart of any business. What drives people is purpose, connection, and recognition. When you create a culture where individuals feel invested and motivated, profits will follow naturally as a result of that commitment. Great leadership fosters a culture of openness, respect, and even love—where people feel empowered to bring their whole selves to work without holding back. When leaders nurture an environment where people feel valued, supported, and connected, the impact is profound. This authenticity and commitment doesn’t just stay within the organization—they extend to the customers and communities a company serves. It becomes part of the company’s DNA, the way it 'rolls.' When people are driven by purpose and a supportive culture, they give their best because they care, not because they’re chasing profits. Leadership is about understanding this balance: by focusing on your people, you create the foundation for sustainable growth and long-term success. #leadership

Science shows you how to get more engagement at work: 3 ways to use Positive Psychology to drive engagement. Positive psychology is more than just feeling good. It’s a science that helps people and organizations thrive. I’ve worked with leaders across industries, and one thing is clear—engaged employees don’t just happen. You need to build that culture. Here are three ways you can use positive psychology to boost engagement in your workplace: 1. Focus on Strengths, Not Weaknesses People naturally excel when they can use their strengths. Identify what energizes your team members and align their roles with those strengths. Research shows that employees who use their strengths daily are more engaged, more productive, and happier. 2. Cultivate Gratitude Gratitude doesn’t need to be grand. Simple, consistent recognition of effort creates a culture of appreciation. You don’t need to say “thank you” every time. Instead, recognize the unique contributions each person brings. This practice elevates engagement and strengthens relationships. 3. Encourage a Growth Mindset Engagement thrives when people feel they can learn and grow. Encourage curiosity and resilience by shifting the focus from results to growth. A growth mindset makes challenges feel like opportunities, not threats, and that shift leads to more motivated teams. When positive psychology is at the heart of your leadership, engagement becomes a natural outcome. More than theory—it's a strategy backed by science. How do you use positive psychology in your work environment? #psychology #workplace

How SPIRE changed my approach to leadership: Leadership wasn’t always centered on well-being for me. In the beginning, it was about making decisions, driving outcomes, and staying focused on productivity. I was pushing forward, constantly trying to move the organization ahead. But along the way, I was ignoring my own well-being. When I founded Wholebeing Institute, and we created the SPIRE model (Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Relational, and Emotional well-being): It didn’t just change the way I approached personal growth—it transformed how I lead. SPIRE reminded me that you can’t give your best to others or to your organization when you’re running on empty. By paying attention to my own well-being, I learned to take steps to restore balance, even when leadership demands felt overwhelming. The biggest change in me was that I focused less on driving outcomes and more on creating an environment where my team could thrive, both personally and professionally. The results naturally followed because we were all aligned and fulfilled. SPIRE didn’t just shape me—it reshaped the way I lead. And by making well-being a priority, I created a space where everyone could bring their best selves to the table. That’s the kind of leadership that truly makes a difference. #wellbeing #leadership

The most important business asset you have isn’t on your balance sheet. We measure success in numbers—revenue, performance, results. But the real driver is how well your people are doing. I associate and measure whole-person well-being (or wholebeing) with the SPIRE model— Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Relational, and Emotional well-being And here’s what I’ve seen: when leaders focus on the whole person, it transforms the workplace. I often ask leaders: How are your people really showing up? Are they engaged, energized? Or just getting by? When people are disengaged, apathetic, or burned out, it’s usually a sign that something’s missing— And when employees can identify what's missing, it's a step towards solving the problem. It’s not about adding another perk. It is a whole-person well-being strategy. We call it wholebeing. It’s how you help people bring their best selves to work—energized, aligned with purpose, and ready to contribute. The truth is that when people thrive, organizations thrive. SPIRE offers a way to make that happen, not as an afterthought, but as the foundation for everything else. This is what the future of leadership looks like—integrating well-being into the work itself. And when that happens, you get results that matter, not just numbers on a spreadsheet. #wellbeing #psychology
