The Art of Strategic Procrastination

The Art of Strategic Procrastination

Honestly, I have been putting off writing this blog for weeks! Seriously. I am what is known as a “Moderate Procrastinator”. My typical MO is to do some research on a project up front, have a few resources in place and then go off-line for awhile. As the deadline gets closer, I will get it done maybe the night before it is due and have been known to come up with a “brilliant” idea (wink, wink) overnight and change it up the morning of the deadline date.

Trust is a Biochemical Phenomenon! OXYTOCIN -The Secret to Building High-Trust & High-Performance Cultures!

All Aboard the Trust Train… Last Friday, I had a great time with a leadership team facilitating an all day off-site team retreat. I felt inspired by this group as we worked through the activities of the day.

But now, as a mother of two boys who love all things outdoors, I find myself spending increasingly more and more time back on the ranch. . . and enjoying every minute of it. I’ve come to cherish our time spent there and find that it adds value to my life and to our family in multiple unexpected ways. Isn’t it wonderful how.... Read More

Look What the Empty Nesting Bunny Brought…On Purpose!

Becoming an empty nester in the Fall of 2015 didn’t seem to phase me. I was so busy from all the activities planned that special year. Both of my two amazing kids graduated, one from high school and one from Oklahoma State University. (Proud Mom warning!) They left for their respective new homes in August. My daughter was bound for OU Law School and my son followed in the family footsteps, attending Oklahoma State. Read More
