I am curious about what motivates people­. My biggest driver, my motivation, is the intrinsic reward I experience when I am in an environment that allows me a lot of autonomy. In the past, when I was around people who appeared to be driven, disciplined and consistent in how they work toward something I had […]

The Relationship between Confidence and Leadership Success

June 29, 2015 by Diana Leave a Comment

The journey to authentic leadership through the eye-opening examination of Self-Deception is amazing.  The results — a Heart at Peace. The reward of having a heart at peace leaves you feeling right with the world. I learned this from my personal journey through my own self-deception. We encounter our blind spots daily, so there is always work to […]

Leading and Self-Deception

June 22, 2015 by Diana Leave a Comment

Living in alignment with your values, strengths and purpose by doing the work is rewarding in and of itself. In my experience, I know that working to ‘stay out of the box’ is not always easy work. At times, I find myself resisting the work. And I know that when I pause to ‘do the work’ it results in […]

What Happens When Everyone is Above Average?

June 15, 2015 by Diana Leave a Comment

Working with hundreds of people over the years, I have observed the difficulty in being forthright with our failures. We keep them secret and feel ashamed that we failed. We confuse failing at something with internalized belief that we are a failure. The tragedy in this is that learning does not occur where there is no forward movement. We may take failure to another level […]

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.”
