When I was 5

Posted in: Parenting

My father, a very athletic and competitive person, is a huge influence in my life and because of him sports are a significant part of my life that shaped who I am from an early age. There are countless lessons I’ve learned through playing and watching sports and most are relevant to business and life.

The joys of parenting. The other day I heard the expression “Snow plough parent” for the first time. Basically it means clearing away obstacles for your child. A good thing or not?

Amanda Mesler - My first marathon

My first marathon

Posted in: Running & Life

Most of my life, I have been fit as I played team sports, participated in aerobics in my twenties, and belonged to a gym. As life became more complicated, it became hard to find time to exercise while balancing the demands of marriage, three children and a high stress travel job.

Great post. Great leaders do not micromanage... "Real leadership is when everyone else feels in charge" lnkd.in/ds8dmzQ

"Bad managers tell employees what to do".... Such a poor management trait, especially if you are a CEO! lnkd.in/d4iFhsn

The first trip out of the country

Posted in: Tales of a Travelling Business Woman

One of my favorite stories is my first trip to Japan. I went with my boss and at 24 years old, it was the first time I’d ever been out of the US. Everything was new to me about traveling – the long flight, airplane meals, the movies, the time change!

Marathons and Life

It hit me… I’ve run a marathon on all 7 continents! I’ve joined 123 other women (and 447 people overall) on the official seven continents club finishers list.
