A few years ago, a large public company recruited our corporate coaching team to help solve its biggest mystery: How had the multi-billion dollar retailer gone from raking in record revenues to falling flat for 17 straight quarters? In typical Handel style, we dug deep into the puzzle, interviewing company leaders to uncover the truth. […]
When it comes to having fun, I really have to push myself. No, not just during a pandemic, but in regular times, too. Doesn’t that sound silly? It’s not that I don’t have fun; I consider my job quite fun and adventurous! And I take great pleasure in eating and playing with my kids as […]
Have a (disinfected) seat. Allow me to paint the setting. It’s early on in the pandemic, like a week or so before lockdown turns into more than a suggestion. I’m at my personal trainer’s / ex-brother in law’s one man gym (Beth’s second husband, Armin) with my other sister and boss, Lauren Zander. You know […]

Are you bored with your loved ones already? “Maybe” (wink, wink) it’s you. “Maybe” it’s about time you hire a new board of trust-ies and get playing, sourcing fun, and having curated conversations. Or better yet, curated conv-oh’s. Read on! Marnie: Ready, Lauren, for our Q (quarantine) & A? First question: My family and I […]
Listen. We know how hard hard conversations are. And how much harder they get when the person you need to have one with hates them even more than you do. So, how the heck do you deal with difficult people? And not just in a pandemic or during the (virtual?) holidays (though that too), but […]
I love food. I can’t get enough of cooking meals for friends and family. I feel creative and skillful in the kitchen, and am in awe of the way new recipes can give you insight into different cultures without having to leave your own home (a bonus when you’re stuck inside for weeks on end…). […]
Mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom mom…. It was 10am on day something of god-knows-how-long school will be canceled. I had my phone in one hand looking down at every text that came in for a fix of news or an update from a friend. My 4-year-old who had been up since […]
What to do when you’re sent home through no fault of your own… Look, this shi(f)t is real. But it’s gonna pass. And when it’s over, don’t you want to look back with pride at everything you achieved in the midst of a pandemic? For us humans, it’s easy to be great when things are […]
For such a dark and moody lot, we’re sure not wise to how often we go dark, not to mention how little a clue we have as to where our (inner) light switch is. You might have heard the stats: According to science, the average human has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of […]
In uncertain times like these, there’s something that’s absolutely certain: we’re here for you. In light of the dark that’s going on, we want to help get your thoughts and actions back on track, if they’ve understandably gone off road. We here to figuratively hold your hands, virtually have your back, and maybe just maybe, […]
Seems that no matter what decade it is, Tom Robbins still wrote one of my all time favorite ‘sort of’ love stories, Still Life With Woodpecker (see: 1980). I’m still quoting it. Not just because he’s a wayward (or way with word) genius, but because even the seemingly simple quote from it – “It’s never […]
