The other day my client and friend said to me, “I’ve seen you scare women”. I used to be so upset when I heard it. Two decades later, I feel I’ve heard it enough to just shrug. I know I do. I don’t try. In fact I’m the one who is out-manipulated and fired. But […]

#RPCL Log Date October 5, 2017 #BeingHuman #fear #fearmonster
It’s been a tough week. Suddenly I was getting rejection from everywhere and, just when I was half way through processing one, another event would happen. Being a seller and doer, it’s not entirely surprising when a bid gets rejected or gets negotiated to a disheartening level. But what I’m recovering from now is the fear monster. Some of […]
#RPCL Log Date October 4, 2017 #BeingHuman #LoveAllSides #culture #EmbraceDiversity
When we are born we are handed our beliefs, our rituals, our language and essentially our family values. This becomes our culture, and it’s hard to see life any other way. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Don’t let your culture narrowly define you. There are thousands of languages and an unknown number […]

I was on the acupuncture table the other day and couldn’t help but feel worry turn into tears that trickled down my face. It’s hard when you are completely still and can’t move because the needles actually send a jolt that travels through your veins if you move too much. So I had to let the tears […]

Some days I can’t breathe. I feel the pressure of being an entrepreneur and the volatility of our government together weighing heavily on my chest. It’s no wonder I wake up in the middle of the night, wondering why I’m having a hard time exhaling and inhaling. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Remember […]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Strive to communicate without needing to win every debate. You mostly can’t win, even if you have all of the evidence on your side. Denial is a weapon used most, when values are stepped on.
#RPCL Log Date September 28, 2017 #BeingHuman #Collaboration #GoodToGreat
To go from good to great, it’s hard to do alone, efficiently and within definitive deadlines. In fact, it can take a lot longer than measured, utilize a lot more brains to solve the problem, and get messy and inefficient at first. But in fact, I always like the end product better when more minds are on it. We […]

Your mission if you choose to accept it: Refuel with determination. Especially when the new normal doesn’t feel so normal,
#RPCL Log Date September 26, 2017 #BeingHuman #ListenForIntent #Empathy
When we listen with fear, we only hear the threat behind the words. We are not really listening. When we listen with our hearts, sometimes we miss the logic and let our emotions take over. So it’s important to listen with empathy. We can step away from judgment that may be engaged with fear or […]
