December 28, 2020 By Susan Shaner 1 Comment

What do you need to release from 2020, and what can you welcome in for 2021 with open arms?

Movement Monday: Seeing With Gratitude

November 23, 2020 By Susan Shaner 2 Comments

I think it is fair to say that many of us may have had moments, or extended moments, of seeing with gratitude this year despite, or because of, the crises. What crises? Take your pick: the pandemic with the related economic and social implications, social unrest/black lives matter, the U.S. elections or climate change. Consequently many of us have ... [Read more]

As A Leader, Do You Listen Fast?

July 31, 2017 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Recently, one of my clients told me, “you listen fast,” I was stopped in my tracks and wasn’t sure what he meant. Many of us feel we don’t have the time to listen, especially these days with so much noise, distractions and competing priorities. Time feels squeezed more than ever.

How Do You Be An Expert AND A Student?

June 29, 2017 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Being an expert, you can be so rigid or certain about things that you miss some obvious things or don’t remain open to learning. What does it mean to be an expert AND a student?
