Grandma’s Wild Journey

I hesitate to add to your inbox right now, just before the mid-term elections, in the midst of notification after notification, and the relentless disturbing headlines, breaking news, and tumult that is our climate right now.  Still, this onslaught is what inspired today’s edition of Work Wild.  Because somehow, between all that swirls […]

Hopefully I’ve nudged you toward the notion that bringing your whole Wild self to work and encouraging that in others…

Where does it go? The crisis from work, when you’re home; the drama as you left the house? The relentless news cycles…

Busy Season

Fall Equinox is upon us.  When day and night are equal in length.  When long summer days give way to earlier sunsets and cooler temperatures.  School is back in session.  Holidays aren’t here yet (despite store displays to the contrary).  It’s that window of time, post-summer, to dig in, to work hard.  It’s fourth […]

In Defense of Keyboard Inactivity

I remember working for a shipping company as an ‘unloader’ when I was in my mid-twenties.  It was a late afternoon shift. There wasn’t much to it, the conveyer belt was positioned into the truck and we, the unloaders, lifted the packages onto the belt with the label facing up, as fast […]

Now is that moment for more Wilding

Hopefully I’ve nudged you toward the notion that bringing your whole Wild self to work and encouraging that in others is a good idea. I know it’s catching on because in conversation or when I ask groups at speaking engagements for the words they use to describe feeling Wild they […]

Bringing your whole self to work, including your bladder

Apologies to the faint of heart, but we need to have a little potty talk.  Let me explain … I have been talking with a variety of clients these past weeks to get a feel for what it’s like to walk in their shoes at their workplace. These […]

Work/Life Equity

Equinox is upon us. That time, just twice a year, when daylight and darkness are equal. Ahh, the balance of it all. And it happens only twice a year. Even our planet seems to understand that perfect balance just isn’t intended to happen all the time. So many people, on hearing the phrase work/life […]
