Profile

Hometown:: Los Angeles

Business Location:: Beverly Hills

About Me:: I'm a legal sparrow wandering around in new turf. I'm using the skills developed in other areas to figure out where I want to go from here.

What's definite is that I'm a match maker. What's certain is that I'm a prodigy of the Chamber of Commerce. What's innate is analyzing everything to the nth degree and then explaining what was learned. Someone has to do it!

But the other thing is, I come up with ideas and solutions -- workable solutions.

Interests and Things That Get Me Really Excited:: There are lots of "used to"s and too many "don't do any more"s; so I'll just list the stuff I used to thrive on:

gardening, physical fitness and jogging, writing, reading, Socratic learning, writing and performing poetry, attending concerts and shows at the Bowl, attending plays, having outtings with friends, spontaneous jaunts to the Observatory for the Planetarium and laser shows, getting lost at the museum or art gallery, learning about Persian rugs, exploring new parts of town or getting lost in the Hollywood Hills and then just exploring. Trying to pick out stars and constellations, getting involved in civic affairs and building something better for the community.

Making homemade chili for 20, with all the fixin's. Throwing outdoor dinners and holiday dinner parties.

Watching football, basketball, a track & field event, a great gymnastics competition.

Exploring Muir Woods, wandering along Stinson Beach, having a juicy hamburger while watching the sun go down on the beach and smell the fragrance of freesia enveloping me in my car.

Rounding up speakers for a roundtable discussion that turns out to be killer for content and information.

Getting the scoop on something while doing an interview for an article or program.

Finding the perfect case in answer to a client's matter and have the research memo become the clincher for winning.

Coaching someone to a winning position and watching them move on along a successful path that they enjoy.

Awards/Professional Accomplishments: Invitation to join MENSA (1998)
Had 3 youth recognized as making most academic improvement
Produced successful online and live networking meetings (for L.A. Metro Recruiting Network since 2005.

Website:: http://www.executiventrances.com

Favorite Music, Movies, Books::: Music: Classical to jazz and nearly everything inbetween. I just love music, whether instrumental, lyric, syncopated, sassy, or political statement. It's poetry.

Movies: Really difficult here. Last Emperor of China, Red Violin, Au Revoir Les Enfants, Enchanted April, American Beauty (these are merely samplers), and lots of classic oldies.

Books: The Long Journey to Freedom, God Gave Us This Country, One Cool Drink of Water Afore I Die, .... You know, there aren't too many books I haven't become friends with. And my tastes run the full gamut!

Favorite TV Shows:: Law & Order, CSI: Miami and Las Vegas. I don't remember any others. I haven't had a TV for about 4 years.

Can You Find Me?

Services Offered
The Career Coach

Among other things, I'm a career coach, and I'm good at it. What I offer is advice and services in the following areas:

Job search strategies

What else do I do that would fall under the category of "Coach?"

Tutor - Reading/Language

What do I offer in addition to coaching services?

The Consultant

Yes, I am a consultant. My niche is organizational development.

Actually, OD is a big space and I do have specialties within that space. They are:

Diversity

women
minorities
disability accommodation and hiring

Legal Mediation
Communication
Ethics
Training and development
Coaching
Workplace hostility and abuse
Workplace safety
Domestic Abuse EAP measures

Retention and Promotion

Sometimes what you need is a person to analyze why your turnover rate is so high. I can go through a detailed analysis with you to determine what's happened in the past, measures that will help correct that, lay out a plan of action, and then help you execute it.

In addition to these soft practices, I also review office systems in order to detect economic inefficiencies and make recommendations for improvements. I will then go through a review of the new implementation for review and recommend adjustments for a better fit.

I'm available on a consultative basis or as a speaker, trainer, writer, or presenter. I can make referrals as needed.

Would you like to have my assistance? Contact me.

Becoming Part of the Community

Within the last four weeks, there have been three new people move into the place where I'm living. Last night I had an opportunity to have a conversation with the newest member of the house and get acquainted with him. He and the other new man in the house are contrasts in some ways. In reflecting on their similarities and differences, it seemed to me that they are quite representative of what we find in the workplace. So I dare to venture into this usually private realm in order to examine some… Continue

Women and Facing Adversity

I'm a warrior-princess. It's a hard-earned title and not romantic at all. There are other types of warriors and other types of princesses. We've seen the spectrum of them in the business world. The Warrior The warrior is the one who is ready and able to go into battle on her own at any time. She relishes a good fight for the sake of the sport and the challenge. It forces her to use her skill and knowledge to the utmost in order to survive. It makes her come up with new ways to attack th… Continue

Making Progress

Slowly but surely, I'm beginning to remove the many obstacles that have interferred with my being productive over the past several months. It's interesting to analyze those situations in hindsight and make a determination of whether most of them originated from the same place and if so, what to do about maintaining a relationship there. Also interesting is analyzing the diversity of the interferences, their pattern and goal. The now pending question is whether these situations could have been fo… Continue

Youthful Indiscretion Permitted

A friend and I were observing the newest crop of freshmen and considering the things they do. We then considered how their new lives translate onto social networking sites such as MySpace, FaceBook, Hi5, and others.

Paraphrasing, my friend complained, "It's just a bunch of photographs of people holding cups of red beer, doing insane things, standing in outrageous positions, making faces, and just being really stupid." There was a longer litany of foolish and outlandish representations…

Waiting and Wasting

One of the things I most dislike is wasting time. Needlessly and mindlessly doing things repeatively for the sake of doing <i>something</i> instead of meaningful engagement in a purposeful activity that has a substantive reward for completion drives me up a wall.

While we're on the subject of things that make me grind my teeth, disrespect is right up there in the Top Ten as well. But that's another blog post.

I've spent most of this morning trying to get a good Inter…

California has a PDF available for those who have discovered their identity may have been compromised. Go to the Identity Theft Registry to learn more about what to do.

At 6:44pm on May 20th, 2007, Yvonne LaRose said…: Well, I really like "The Goddess" and simply don't know where to add a link to her blog. She found my post about how to make a woman happy -- at work -- and mentioned it on her blog. She also shared a bit about herself and why that particular post had so much significance for her co-workers.

She's a great lady and deserves some spotlight. So go read the musings at Caterwauling
