Insights & Observations

Welcome! Note the tabs on top -- Trades Success showcases Handbooks I co-authored that celebrates careers in the trades. The "Working Women" section offers services and ideas to help summon our creativity in every phase of our careers. In the "Ponder That" section I comment on current news items and emerging trends. In the "Tips" section I offer workplace advice and reminders. "About Me" is just that. "Mid LIFE Matters" has segments from my public tv show. "The Ryan Group" tab offers access to an astounding set of organizational improvement services.

E-Book Webinars & Workshops

Thank you to Joan Lahti, Ph.D., of Get To The Point Books for sponsoring a 45-minute webinar on my e-book, Are Your Star Performers Packing Their Bags? How to Persuade Them to Stay. Participants from across the country (and globe) reflected on their own retention tactics, and saw how to navigate this user-friendly workbook approach. I offer similar sessions -- in person, online, or using blended technology, for any size group. Contact Joan for a reference:

Uphill Climb

Climbing out of a hole is tricky business. Depleted resources diminish out decision-making powers. Not enough money? We scramble and settle for short-term relief - or magical thinking. Not enough time? Same dynamic. Poverty pressures use up precious cognitive bandwidth* which leaves us even more overwhelmed.

No easy answers, but tapping into our dreams and brains requires a huge leap of faith - and then, it's one foot in front of the other.

We are all 'poor' in some way - read *Maria Konnikova's excellent NYT article, No Money, No Time - Sunday Review, 6/15/14.
