https://toknowbetter.wordpress.com/2014/08/08/gratitude

Kim Ratcliff's Blog on Work and Life. I’ve had a rough week and have tried hard to not sink into a funk over it.

Family Stories | To Know Better

Kim Ratcliff's Blog on Work and Life. Left to right, Karen Foltz (my Mom), Anna Foltz (nee Stein, my Grandma), and David Foltz (my uncle). Grandma took care of the elderly Hafts to make a living, and my brother and I played in the little woods between her home and the Haft’s house.

https://toknowbetter.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/the-deeper-business-of-being-beautiful-inside

Kim Ratcliff's Blog on Work and Life. The Deeper Business of Being Beautiful Inside. In a moving speech. Given prior to her Oscar win for supporting actress, Lupita Nyong’o encouraged women to “get to the deeper business of being beautiful inside.”. It’s a simple but difficult proposition. In the same Oscar ceremony where Nyong’o won her award, 81-year-old actress Kim Novak also appeared–noticeably and disturbingly altered by plastic surgery. Why can’t an 81-year-old woman look 81?

https://peakalignment.wordpress.com/2014/04/18/are-leadership-skills-overrated

Removing roadblocks to Peak performance by Aligning talent, systems, and strategy. Are “leadership skills” overrated? I mean, after all, if the people at the higher ranks are not displaying better leadership behaviors than those I am training, do leadership skills get you promoted? And is there a difference between being a “leader” and rising into Leadership? When time works out Leaders are also “leaders” but you have to wonder, what comes first? What do you want to be?
