Why Accelerating Momentum and career solutions? Wherever you are in your career and/or your life, each day brings a new variety of experiences, decisions, actions and opportunities to make your mark on the world:


  • How do I think honestly and clearly about my career and my talents? Can I really have a job and a life that I love?

  • How do I get out of this soul-sucking job with my dignity and emotional well-being intact?

  • What do I do about that co-worker who keeps gossiping behind my back?

  • Now that I’m the boss, how do I work with people who used to be my peers?

  • What do I do about a formerly good employee who isn’t cutting it any longer?

  • What do I do when someone just won’t leave me alone when I’m trying to work?

  • Can my boss/co-worker/customer/employee REALLY do that? And what do I do about it?

Times change and we all have to change with them. But no matter who you are or where you live or work, some things always stay the same:

  • We want to feel that our work has meaning and purpose.

  • We want the opportunity to do our best work to shine!

  • We always want to do just a little better, to continually “sharpen the saw”, to stay alive to possibilities and eager to learn from new experiences.

  • We want simple, clear solutions to the things that affect us both on the job and off.

  • We want a go-to-resource that touches our work and our personal lives.

I want this blog to become a valued part of your professional AND your personal development. I believe that you can’t be successful in one part of your life unless you have the other parts working in harmony and combining to make a whole. As your guide on this journey, I will draw on my 30+ years of workplace and personal experience to bring you a cornucopia of experiences, tips, strategies, techniques, and insights about the best ways to:

  • Handle the inevitable changes and transitions that are part of life

  • Develop and maintain both personal and professional relationships

  • Successfully manage the never-ending work situations that crop up

  • Choose and use assessments to benefit both yourself and the people around you

  • Develop leadership and management expertise

  • Communicate with employees, co-workers, bosses, customers and significant others

  • Start living the life you want and deserve
