Why, hello there, all of you!
Yes, despite all best efforts to issue this blog to dust, I'm baaaack!
And, I have all intentions of not forgetting about you, dear Internet, this year. In fact, you're back on my list!
As I wrote waaaay back in 2008 (ancient history, huh?), I spent a good bit of my energetic resources this past year attending the CTI Leadership program… an amazing, life-changing experience for me, that's really brought me to a new level in myself and my own leadership. More to come on that. Lots more, in fact.
So, when I say "you're on my list", Internet, what I mean is that this blog is one of my projects, one of the ways that I believe I can really fully live out my purpose as a leader (which, in its current iteration, is about being an unconventional ambassador for change).
Stepping up my writing on this blog – so that it's a better resource for my coaching clients, so that it's a more powerful way of connecting with non-profit and government leaders, so that it might even shift something out in the world – is one of my goals for 2009. I actually have a secret (oops, perhaps not so secret now) dream that these blog posts might someday find themselves edited into some type of book – what do you think?
What's on your list, Internet, for 2009? What is the world waiting for you to do, say, be, this year?
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.
