A Note From Karen
Breaking away is never easy. It takes courage. My client Glen shared a story of his teen age daughter's long distance tears at the start of a month long living abroad experience. These first homesick longings were a major benchmark. Dad, true to form, said just the right thing: "It's okay to miss me. I miss you too. But don't miss out on your experience. You will be home before you know it." Good news to my ears. Clearly individuation was in process — for both of them. They are going through the first pangs of the emptying nest. Best of all, they both are going to make it with flying colors!

Taking care of business and
Working overtime."

The New Sixties

We are living in challenging times. Business is always in flux. No matter what we do for a living, consistently hitting goals gets harder and harder because the end zone keeps moving. More and more at dizzing speeds, shifting in a flash.

Due to the constant discontinuous changes we face, we have to stay ahead of the curve. Everyday we hear about industries shrinking and businesses closing their doors due to overseas competition. Just this month the Stock Market's sudden dip caught a lot of folks off guard.

What are you doing to respond to these sudden challenges and unexpected turns?

No matter where you lead, around the kitchen table or the board room, we all share the fall-out from not staying ahead of the curve. If we want to unleash our greatest potential then the time is now. Do so armed with a new set of leadership and futuring skills.

Many of us are seasoned pros, we've Been There, Done That. Hopefully learning from our mistaken turns and side-tracking detours. No doubt our wins will give us a leg up on turning the tides of our times, while securing a future for our business. Perhaps like so many of my cohorts, we want to have a hand in crafting our own future... and for generations to come too.

Entering the New Sixties has been quite an experience. On the one hand the world appears to be heading towards another showdown with the dark side. At the same time more and more of us... at all ages... are standing up to be counted on the issues that truly matter for the long haul.

Stretch Your Perspective

If you want your mind to be stretched and your perspective to be challenged, I highly recommend you watch a video replay of the moving and information packed symposium, State of the Black Union: Strengthening the Black Family - Preserving the African American Imprint on America, produced by Tavis Smiley, a rising star in the African-American community. This first of its kind televised conference brought together some of our greatest thinkers and activists in America -a Who's Who of Black thought, education, spirituality, business and leadership. The video archive of this event is available for you to watch @ www.C-Span.org

You're Invited: Become a leader for a greater tomorrow. Write me about what you're doing to Have Courage in your life, workplace and the world at Widening the Circle. If you are so moved, please include your recommendations to share with other readers.
