Building a Culture of Gratitude

May 15, 2019 by Diana Leave a Comment

Focusing on what I have to be grateful for is my antidote for the dark places my thoughts can take me when I become discouraged and am feeling helpless about affairs of the world and humanity. To keep my mindset in check I make note of the things I’m grateful for. I count my blessings […]

I really like what the Harvard Medical School says about gratitude: a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible. With gratitude, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives… As a result, gratitude also helps people connect to something larger than themselves as individuals—whether to other people, nature, or a higher power1.

Gratitude & Leadership

April 29, 2019 by Diana Leave a Comment

Over the last few weeks, I have taken some time to ponder my why and to live fully alive. The funeral or celebration of life for a community leader who died much too young stirred me, leading me to this discernment process. Then, within the next week, another dynamic community leader also died far too […]

Being Vulnerable

March 18, 2019 by Diana Leave a Comment

I am a big fan of Dr Brené Brown’s work. Learning from her has transformed my mindset around vulnerability and failure. Her work has influenced the building of my own character, resulting in a greater sense of grounding in who I am and how I show up. In her book, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to […]

Creating a Framework for Success as a Sustainable Leader in a Socially Connected Environment
Being a sustainable leader isn’t just a ‘touchy-feely’ term. It’s about creating innovation and collaboration within your environment. It’s about accomplishing goals that matter. And yes, it’s even about improving the bottom line of your business.

Because nothing is sustainable if it doesn’t “increase profitability and your competitive advantage.”
