Intentional Leadership

A Leader is a Reader…

January 17, 2014 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

A leader is a reader, and a reader is a leader!

Mother and daughter reading

To develop the leadership skills of your children begin reading to them at a very young age.

To fill your leadership shoes, create a goal of reading minimally one to two books per month.

Start with topics about which you feel genuinely interested.

One of our favorites, “The Art of Possibility – Transforming Professional and Personal Life” by Rosamund Stone Zander and Boston Philharmonic Conductor Benjamin Zander, will surely keep your attention!

Let us know what you think!

The Power of Vulnerability

August 14, 2013 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past ten years studying vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame. She spent the first five years of her decade-long study focusing on shame and empathy, and is now using that work to explore a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness. She poses the questions:

How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to recognize that we are enough – that we are worthy of love, belonging, and joy?

Love does

August 13, 2013 By Lisa Hill DiFusco

Bob GoffLiving a life fully engaged and full of whimsy and the kind of things that love does is something that most people plan to do, but along the way they just kind of forget. Their dreams become one of those ‘we’ll do it next time’ deferrals. The sad thing is, for many there is no ‘next time’ because passing the chance to cross over is an overall attitude toward life rather than a single decision.

Love Does, Bob Groff
