Servant Leadership Flies High from the Cockpit On United 757
When was the last time you boarded an airplane and the pilot was handing out Aircraft Trading Cards with the statistics of the plane on which you're about to fly? Think about it. It makes sense. How many of us would buy a car without reading the manufacture's label on the window? So why shouldn't we know about the "product" we are buying? That must have been what Captain Denny Flanagan figured when he stood at the jet way of the 757 that was to take me home to Orange County.

The Power In A Gathering Of Women
Forget "fight or flight" as the only duo of responses in the face of stress. For women, there's a third response: "befriend". A landmark UCLA study turned five decades of stress research on its head with the revelation that a cascade of brain chemicals gives women a larger behavioral repertoire ...

Resilient Employees Start with Right Recruiting
My mother always said, "To end well, you must begin well." Of course, she was talking about how you separated clothes for the washing machine or how you chose vegetables at the market. But it's also true when it comes to creating a resilient, sustainable workforce. The questions you ask in the recruiting phase will help both you and a potential employee determine if you have the right fit for your organization.

What's Resiliency Got To Do With Employee Engagement?
Consider these glum facts: Only one in eight workers worldwide are engaged at work, but according to Gallup's new 142-country study on the State of the Global Workplace, engagement varies considerably according to the region and country in which these workers live and their economic and social conditions. So let's just look at the U.S and Canada. Gallup reports that only 29% of workers are engaged, leaving 54% not engaged and 18% actively disengaged.

The Power of Welcome Home
Welcome home! These two small words carry potent possibilities for creating a connection that evokes loyalty and teamwork. Yet, one seldom thinks of "welcome home" in the context of work. In fact, it is only through recent incidents that I have become acutely aware of the power this gesture holds. Scene ONE: a world away in the remote regions of the western Himalayas. Our team had been warned of the dangers in crossing the white water rivers fed by glacier melt.

Baton Leadership Lessons From LA Philharmonic Conductor Dudamel
Imagine a crusty group of seasoned professionals standing, applauding and cheering a 28 year-old leader who has turned a same-old-same-old product into something fresh and exciting! This does NOT happen-particularly when the professionals are members of the Israel Philharmonic. But under the baton of young Maestro Gustavo Dudamel, orchestra members did just that.

Human Work Makes For Happy Workers
It started at the rental car turn-in location. My friend is a "platinum" member with Hertz-who offers a great benefit I discovered when the rental agencies are a considerable distance from the terminal. Hertz provided a shuttle bus to the lot for people to pick out their cars. Our shuttle bus driver grinned as she slid into the driver's seat and said she could hardly wait for school to begin. Turns out she's also a school bus driver and with her seniority, she gets to pick her route. Her passion: autistic children. "I just love 'em," she grinned. "I get them again this year."

Five Leadership Lessons Learned In A Canoe
One hour north of Ely, MN, off a gravel road called Echo Trail, Little Indian Sioux River meanders through lily-pad waters and past beaver houses to meet Loon Lake. It’s but a tiny part of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilde ess, a vast chain of lakes and rivers that divide Canada and the United States. It was our fourth season to canoe for a week, testing our ability to paddle against wind gusts of 35-mph, fight mosquitoes and stinging flies, drag our boat over beaver dams, portage up and down slippery trails and sleep most nights under the stars.

The Craft Of Choosing Well—The Ultimate Success
“Wealth is the product of a person’s capacity to think.” Ayn Rand Do you remember the “good old days”? At least it seemed as if our parents’ or grandparents’ lives were so much easier. Those were the days when life seemed to work in a straightforward, linear fashion. You went to school. You ...

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Eileen McDargh
Dear Colleague,
To fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run." Kipling wrote it. I believe it. When I use an audience's time, I take the single most precious resource they have-and one that is non-renewable. They must walk away feeling the time was more-than-well spent.
I try and live in the world of my client, speak their language, understand their anxieties and their hopes. Everything is contextual. With that as a key-underpinning, my programs all serve to leave people thinking about the possibilities and power they hold inside: power to lead, power to design a life of their choosing, power to recognize the possibilities for a higher level of human interaction, and power to ultimately believe that their presence on this earth makes a difference.
I believe in the wisdom of my audience and that my job is to help them reconnect with that wisdom. By using humor, fun, meaningful interaction, up-to-the-minute ideas derived from current business, and by being a solid storyteller and actor of the human experiences we all share, people discover their own wisdom.
No program is ever quite the same because no audience is the same. The value is that everyone in the audience will walk away with not only having heard the words but knowing what to do with the words through my actions, my caring and follow-through. It's my commitment.
Besides, it's the only way I know how to do business.
