The last months have been hard. So why would anyone take on a big new project? Well, in a complicated end to a complicated year, I found myself with time to reflect. This is what I learned:
And so the idea for the newsletter was re-kindled. Every couple of weeks I'll be sharing resources, providing food for thought, and bringing you some of the content that I've found most impactful. If you know me "in real life" you know I tend to speak candidly and that I have a strong point of view. I'll be keeping it fairly short and encouraging you to reach out if there are topics where you'd like to know more. There will be bonuses for subscribers, and special opportunities for consulting, coaching and training. My goal is to give each reader something useful in each edition.
I've loved connecting with so many of you as I kicked off this project - let's talk soon.
Best wishes,

We've all been through a lot in the last twelve months. If we don't take time to reflect, it's easy to miss what we've learned, where we've grown, and what we've achieved. It's also important to acknowledge what we've lost and when we've been frustrated or disappointed.
Have you taken time to reflect on your year? I did and it helped me to shape my plans for this year - what I'm focusing on, where I'm putting my energy, and what I need to do to succeed. We often get caught up in moving forward and forget to look back. If you're finding that you're hurtling into 2021 without consolidating what you learned in 2020, we have two resources for you.
If you want to go it alone: A workbook to guide your reflective practice. If you're not sure where to start, download this resource. It gives you brief instructions and re-usable worksheets.
If you would like some help: A live workshop to take you through the process. While we'll be specifically reflecting on 2020, you'll learn techniques that you can apply to any timeframe. We'll cover the hows and whys of reflection, the power of emotional specificity, and the importance of capturing what you learn.
Friday, January 29th, 3-5pm EST. $50, with special pricing of $25 for newsletter subscribers.
“Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection, will come even more effective action.” Peter Drucker

I've always been an avid reader and tend to read more than one book at once. My current stash is typically eclectic and I offer you food for thought as you choose your 2021 reads:
What are you most excited to read - or what have you loved that you recently read? Drop me a line and let me know. I'll share the most popular recommendations.
In the era of virtual training, we know there's a lot of free programming out there. So why do we charge?

I'm finalizing this newsletter on Good Friday. For me, this is always a Complicated Feelings Day. As a Catholic in the Ignatian tradition, Good Friday is a highly significant day in the liturgical calendar and my faith life. Whatever our traditions and faiths, we all have Complicated Feelings Days in our calendar - anniversaries, beginnings and endings, traumatic events and poignant celebrations. Today, I offer you some tips on how to manage these within your work life, and an opportunity to...
2018 to 2024... it's been an amazing ride! I told my mum that Resolute turns 6 today. Her response? "Really? That's gone fast." I wholeheartedly agree! We have some important gratitude to share: For our clients. We literally would not exist without the people who hire us! For our allies and advocates. These people don't give us money, they give us something at least as precious - they trust us with their reputations, endorsing our work and building our reach. For our partners. Working with...
Resolute would not be a success without our clients, friends, and advocates. Many of our newsletter subscribers bring us into rooms we're not in, share opportunities and wisdom, and bring encouragement and joy. We are thankful for you. This time of year invites both introspection and gratitude. It also holds a tension between looking back and looking ahead, reflecting and projecting, learning and planning. In the spirit of the season, we are holding ten spaces for newsletter subscribers to...
