My calendar tells me that today is the 75th day of 2006, with 290 days remaining – meaning the year is about 20% over.
A few months ago, I asked how 2006 could be your year of the "dangerous idea". So… how are your dangerous ideas – and actions! – coming along? To further up the ante, I offer you this quote by Audre Lorde:
When I dare to be powerful–
To use my strength in the service of my vision,
Then it becomes less important whether I am afraid.
Remember, this is also the year of "no-do overs": I’m daring you to step into your powerful place, where you are using your strength in service of your vision.
Ready, set, go: you’ve still got 80% of a year left to make it happen!

How are you planning on making a difference in the next 290 days?
The next 100 days?
The next 30 days?
Today?

Before specializing as a professional coach in 2004, I spent more than a decade in leadership, management and program development for state and local government and non-profit organizations. Now I get to help leaders and teams have more clarity and ability to stand up for what's important in their work and in their organizations. Working with me, leaders and teams find more meaning and purpose, feel happier and more confident, navigate change and conflict, and work together better.
