Leveling Out In Your Career
As managers, we pay a lot of attention to professional growth. We prepare for promotion, we seek out opportunities, and we dream about that plum job we first spotted when we joined our organization. But is there ever a point where we level out, and stop pushing upwards? Is there ever a point wh...
Definately an interesting topic. As a polymath, it's hard to sum up who I am in a short headline. It's definately more important to enjoy yourself than to figure out how to discribe it. I think you're doing it right Cheri.

Making Sense out of a Non-Traditional Career
Hey Enlightened Managers! Today I wanted to write about something that has been rolling around my head for a few months. Perhaps by talking about it I can make sense of it all. Back when I worked as an HR Manager, I had what you could call a traditional career path. I was busy stepping my w...

A Trip to Ireland, and a Return to the Beginning.
Five years ago, I did something scary. It also ended up being one of the best decisions I ever made. I left a job I loved to take a risk on starting my consulting business. I had a lot of ideas, very little experience, and more than a little naivete. Right after leaving my "going away party" ...

Teambuilding Question #3: Do you embrace what is funny, meaningful, and wacky?
Years ago the author Stephen Covey famously wrote about the concept of an emotional bank account. He said that when you are kind to your family, when you support and affirm them, you are making deposits into that account. When you are thoughtless or mean, you make a withdrawal. Teams also buil...
Thanks Cheri! I'm more of a Work Leader, but I try to get better at Self-Managing everyday. Either way, I love your insights on this blog. Kudos also being scientific about your Twitter commitment: Hyposis - Experiment - Analyze Results. In the end, you followed the evidence to make the best choice for you. That's enlightened.

So You Don't Use Twitter....
Well, the Twitter experiment was quite interesting. :) A few days ago I asked which Enlightened Managers use Twitter by asking you to tweet with the hashtag #enlightenedmanager Guess how many enlightened managers tweeted in those 48 hours? Three! Less than one third of one percent of my regul...

Tweet and Win a Book signed by Howard Schultz.
Hey Enlightened Managers, I admit I'm a late-comer to Twitter (my handle is cheribaker). I've had an account for years, but I'm not really sure if it's the place for me. I thought it might be fun to run a little experiment. How many of you use Twitter? It it a useful place to interact with ot...
Love the imagery of an intoxicated octupus!
