Change Your Pronoun, Change The Perspective. OK, I’m at a crossroads as I write this blog, mainly because it starts out with “I.” “I want to tell you something…” is another good start, as it has both I (me) and you (you) and I’m telling you stuff. But where’s the co-creation in this? So, let’s venture forward together and see what we can do about this idea of the pronoun. And have some fun along the way. What’s this all about? It started with a rule that was laid down by a favorite English professor in college: when writing any…

Themes of Energy and Commitment emerge in this episode. We create a hierarchy of filters as we move through life that give us the boundaries that guide us and keep us safe and hopefully successful. These buffers and layers of life can impede our freedom though. How do we get back to that unadulterated time of pure joy? What is our opportunity as adults to live a less filtered life? Come find the joy in where you are at any given moment. And stick around for the blooper on this one. Laugh tracks were real and no animals were harmed!

We all like to believe we are original thinkers and I’m no different. On the recent return from facilitating professional development with a talented group of career sales types, I was motivated to tackle this subject: Professional and personal growth. As I began writing, I noticed that, over the last several days, a few in my network had also tackled this subject in varying degrees and talk tracks…so I must be right! And the idea is this: you are your own magic beans. Remember the storytime favorite: Jack and the Beanstalk? Our illustrious hero, Jack, of Beanstalk fame, created an…

Why can’t we have a carnival in our life everyday? Well you can — it’s about the perspective you are in at any given time and how you can celebrate it. Especially if you don’t get hung up on the “perfect” setting for that one thing you want for yourself. And it doesn’t have to have super “wow! Factor” to be a cool thing to do with your life at a particular moment. Whether it’s how you are being or what you are doing, ordinary life moments deserve your appreciation.

Abundance! How much of a good thing do we need? As adults we spend present moments looking for how we can get more out of something when what we’ve accomplished is pretty damn cool. There is gold in our moments. What speaks to us during them and how we cash in on them right then and there, not looking forward to make them better, faster, stronger? (And, who doesn’t secretly want to wear a mermaid tail? Don’t miss the blooper!

Plain and simple, are we acknowledging when we are being and doing things, taking actions, “having fun”, that it’s just a way of expressing ourselves? And, what have we given up because we weren’t “awesome” at something in exchange for that authentic expression? Many times when we do have an activity we believe is authentic expression, we tend to make work out of it. The thing that we supposedly enjoy is only enjoyable when we score well, achieve a personal record, create the perfect art, write the unforgettable story. The miss on what’s authentically wonderful about us is hijacked by…

Or My Publix Half-Marathon Race (#coaching) report: I heard all kinds of stuff because I slowed down. Who’s breaking up. Who’s hooking up. Who got fired. Who got hired. Who’s selling. Who’s buying. Who’s building. And of course, who’s keeping a 9 min/mile pace. That last one is like the waiter in a really nice restaurant who keeps showing up every 14 minutes to refill your water glass and make sure you are staying for dessert. This race was different in so many ways. First, I was dealing with a sore knee that kept my training (and speed) to a…
