Insights & Observations

Welcome! Note the tabs on top -- Trades Success showcases Handbooks I co-authored that celebrates careers in the trades. The "Working Women" section offers services and ideas to help summon our creativity in every phase of our careers. In the "Ponder That" section I comment on current news items and emerging trends. In the "Tips" section I offer workplace advice and reminders. "About Me" is just that. "Mid LIFE Matters" has segments from my public tv show. "The Ryan Group" tab offers access to an astounding set of organizational improvement services.

I host a half-hour show on WPAA-TV celebrating women's wisdom and wit. Fascinating women share their stories and growth mindsets: Segments are under the MidLIFE Matters tab on this site and on You Tube, https://www.youtube.com/@georgianlussier8542/videos

I am honored to win the 2016 Community Media Rika Welch leadership award for community impact; a testimony to the Guests who shared their stories on MidLIFE Matters. In addition, an 2018 interview I did with Judith Altmann, a Holocaust Survivor, won an award. In 2020 and 2021 two other awards acknowledged the content of interviews dealing with Child Sex Trafficking in CT and Non-Profit leadership. In 2023 MidLIFE Matters won First Place for a Profile Talk Show.

E-Book Webinars & Workshops

Thank you to Joan Lahti, Ph.D., of Get To The Point Books for sponsoring a 45-minute webinar on my e-book, Are Your Star Performers Packing Their Bags? How to Persuade Them to Stay. Participants from across the country (and globe) reflected on their own retention tactics, and saw how to navigate this user-friendly workbook approach. I offer similar sessions -- in person, online, or using blended technology, for any size group. Contact Joan for a reference:

Lonely at the Top?

"Leaning in" may mean "living without"? In his NYT article, Breadwinning Wives and Nervous Husbands,Richard H. Thaler --professor of economics and behavioral science -- cites data that says women making higher earnings may be bad for marital bliss. (6/2/13).

While women still, on average, earn less than men, many are turning their educational accomplishments into good paying careers -- so good, that they out-earn hubby. Apparently, many marriages suffer when 'women start bringing home filet mignon vs. bacon.'

Add in the child-care conundrum, and career ladies face preposterous pressures.
