Take the wheel

Share this:

Take the wheel  A while back, I was at a social event with some people who just weren’t that conversationally skilled. All they did was wait for opportunities to talk about themselves and had very little curiosity about anyone else there. I just kind of survived the event and certainly did not enjoy myself. In […]

15 no’s, 1 yes

Share this:

15 no’s, 1 yes  The other morning, Mike texted me to see if I wanted to play volleyball at noon. Of course, I said “yes”. Then Mike said that he’d find two more people and we’d be set. He quickly confirmed Doug so then we needed one more. Throughout the morning, he kept texting me updates […]

Breaking the sound barrier of success

Breaking the sound barrier of success  The other day a client was talking about how every time that he’s gotten really busy in his business, he’s backed off with the thought that he needed to take a break. This made me think about the pilots who were trying to break the sound barrier. When they […]

Nice vs Kind

Share this:

Nice vs Kind   Nice and kind are not synonyms. Nice is a surface quality while kindness comes from the heart. We can act nice while feeling the exact opposite. At times, acting nice can be the opposite of kindness. For example, let’s say that I ask you to listen to a new talk I’m […]

Contribution

Share this:

Contribution  We are wired to contribute and make a difference. It is as natural as breathing. When we are not doing that, we suffer and typically our self-worth takes a hit. So, when we are feeling kind of puny, a great question to ask ourselves is, “Where can I make a difference?” Then go and […]

Stress Dust

Share this:

Stress Dust  The pull cord on one of my window blinds broke. When I took the blind down, I was amazed to see how much dust had crept into that tiny space between the top of the blind and the window frame. It is kind of like how stress and worry sneak into our lives. […]
