By Lorna Magill Have you ever read a book and encountered a major thought-provoking question? I recently completed "The Measure" by Nikki Erlick, and it really raises an intriguing question worth pondering. Imagine having access to a transformative piece of information that could alter the course of your life: The duration of your existence. In the book millions of people wake up to find a small...
By Marianne Clyde "Knowing your purpose strengthens your sense of self; it gives you a way to explain who you are both to other people and to yourself," according to Meg Selig, author of Changepower. There are so many ways that having a purposeful life, or living a life of intention can help you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and intellectually. Studies have shown that being...
by Marianne Clyde I've been so privileged to disrupt the status quo in so many ways and it's just because I started saying to myself, "Hey, I can do that!" And doing what you used to think you couldn't sends a feeling of complete freedom through your body! The excitement and pride of publishing 3 bestselling books, and counting. The proud moments receiving awards for accomplishments over the...
by Marianne Clyde Disruption is how we change the world. Doing what others can’t or won’t do. Disruption is not as difficult or offensive and you might think. It’s pretty much just following your truth, unapologetically. Why do we, as women, feel like we need to apologize for who we are, or what we like, or how we think? We’ve woven a tangled web of self-deceit over the years. And man, that has...
By Lorna Martinez Magill Have you ever had the experience of having a friend give you a nudge to get you to do something that is good for you that you might not have done if she wasn’t there to make you accountable? About a year ago, a friend encouraged me to make a crucial phone call that I so needed to make, and she helped me overcome a challenge I was experiencing faster than I would have...
By Lorna Martinez Magill Have you ever had someone ask you a question that made you pause because it hit you so much to the core that it made your eyes well up with tears? I recently had this experience. About a year ago, my doctor recommended that I go speak with a therapist to help me noodle through all the transitions I was going through. I had resigned from my job as a CFO, I was a...
I Do you ever read a quote and think, man I love that quote, it sure speaks to me? I have many of those quotes but this quote by Mark Twain has resonated with me in recent weeks: “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." Mark Twain Wow! That sentence is so powerful. According to motivational speaker, Simon Sinek, discovering your “why” is...
by Marianne Clyde Why can't I make the money I want? Why is our non-profit ineffective? Why can't I write that book? Why is my relationship stagnant? Why don't I have more friends? Why does everyone else seem to have a fascinating life and mine is so boring? Whenever I find myself asking these kind of questions, the answer comes back to me loud and clear. Who is going to fix it? What do you...
by Marianne Clyde When women find themselves single, by divorce, by death, or by choice, it seems like society feels it needs to step in and "fix" things for her. We need to find her a husband. We need to figure out what went wrong. Or we find ourselves wondering what might be wrong with her. I just want to say, knock it off. It's not that I don't appreciate your concern. But it may be that she...
By Marianne Clyde What? Why on earth would I accept such a short term challenge of such a huge task? Well, it's AMAZING how much change and progress you can accomplish by simply setting a goal. Last year at this time, I was pulling myself out of a "burn out funk." The darkest part of my burn out lasted about 5 months. I had retired for the second time, and this time I was just "DONE!" I didn't...
