We’ve all been there – in a situation where somebody annoys the crap out of you and that little voice in your head goes off shouting: Are you freakin’ kidding me? Can you believe what she just did to me? What is she thinking? Hell, sometimes, we even say that stuff aloud!   I find […]

Did you just balk at that title? I know—it’s not politically correct. But I think it’s a brilliant question to ask one another. Look, I get it. The truth (telling it and hearing it) makes us uncomfortable. But when we keep everything nonconfrontational, we end up unconsciously lying, sugarcoating and walking on eggshells. And in […]

If you’ve been working your tail off at your job and are annoyed that you haven’t been promoted yet, you may be one of the following types of people: 1) THE SPECIALIST You are really great at your job and it’s your secret sauce. It’s frightening when you call in sick. You made yourself too […]

Whether you are white, black, brown, yellow, tall, short, fat, thin, gay, straight, blonde, brunette, male, or female, you are in some way, shape or form discussing or dealing with diversity and inclusion. Schools are ramping up programs to address it.  Corporate America has expanded the c-suite to act on it. Police and military recognize […]

As Co-Founder and President of HG Corp – and coach to our top executive clients – I invariably find that when I start working with an individual or team … everyone is gossiping. It’s just a way of life in their workplace and everyone thinks it’s just fine. But I don’t buy that theory! In fact, […]

Beth Weissenberger, co-founder and vice chairman of Handel Group, gets into the nitty gritty about those insidious internal tendencies that keep us from making real, lasting change, and how to shut them down once and for all with Mind Body Green. >

Have a seat.  I don’t think I’m going to tell type you something you don’t already know, but in case you never thought of it exactly this way, take a deep breath, a seat, and a stress ball, and read on:   Just as we coach clients to take a hard look at the league […]

I was that girl.  The one that graduated from college with a 2.8 GPA and a minor in Michelob. And the gig I landed after graduation wasn’t much to write home about, either. On paper it looked fine: I worked in the insurance industry on Wall Street. But, I was answering phones—and I hated it. […]

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it.   Andrew Carnegie Kermit isn’t the only one who has problems being green… Sure, many of us are gunning for the big promotion, the title, the new office, the bigger paycheck, etc. We’re […]

In 20+ years of working with clients, I’ve found that the area where people tend to be most complacent about their dreams is career. How do you think you stack up? Thing is, it’s easy to get stuck in your career, especially if you’re already in the field you want to be in. It may […]

So what if my wife (aka VP Content, Handel Group) rolled her eyes when she heard Quora invited me to host a live coaching session? Now, now. It wasn’t that she thought I shouldn’t be asked (or even shouldn’t answer)—she thought that the Quora readers might not necessarily find my creative take on the English […]

It’s that time of year: toasts, roasts, floats, and bloat. And truly, what better time than the holidays amongst family (his/hers/yours/theirs), friends, coworkers, and direct reports to accentuate (or exacerbate!) what we actually need to work on (and our teams are begging us to do better?)
