Next time you find yourself faced with someone who’s angry, try asking them if they are okay.

We often fail to realized that anger is an expression of discomfort. Treat it like a stubbed toe: ask about the pain, offer relief, care.

Are you getting IT?

Yesterday’s SheLeads DC: P3 Summit was such a great opportunity to share tools from my communication toolbelt and gain a few new ones.

Power, Purpose, and Progress in action — thanks for having me.

Hot Take: Judging isn’t a bad thing. It’s just what our brains do and becoming more aware of it is a key part of gaining cognitive control.

I know your secret…

There’s someone in your life that you are pretty dang frustrated with.

Don’t worry, we’ve all got one or two. This framework can help you towards a better relationship with them.

Think of the last conversation you had.

What was your goal?

To convince someone of your point of view?
To bond over the latest development in a television show?

I spoke at #DullesSHRM EXP last week and something one of the other speakers said mirrored words I often say to my coaching clients:

You have to OWN your expertise.

For me, that fits hand in hand with owning the behavioral blindspots I call ‘IT’s’.

What would you inner voice say to you if you believed the following was true?

Your mom has one, your boss has one, even you have one — everyone has an ‘IT’.

Figuring out your ‘IT’ can make all the difference as you try to bring your best to the workplace.

What is an IT?

An IT is a behavioral habit that is/not presenting the best you. It is one thing you have to accept or have not accepted about yourself.

You can identify, learn about, and master your ITs in the inaugural Owning Your IT course which starts in April and May of 2025.
