Stress is a killer. Both figuratively and literally. Just google it and you’ll find dozens of articles like this one. Money is the number one cause. And I can totally relate. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Just breathe. If we are fortunate enough to have our (personal and family) health and wellness, […]

How do you incorporate humor and laughing into your life? I know when I’m really bummed about something, I turn to comedy shows to escape. My spouse makes me laugh out loud, a lot. It helps when I am not always happy with him! What about kindness? Do you feel appreciated? Do you give to […]

Sometimes I get so mad at myself for second guessing something. And yet it’s like second nature. It can happen in a matter of seconds. It’s a pattern of seconds. I was telling a client that we (yes women) are really good at that. And my business partner later reminded me it is because society tells us […]

Some days I read the news and feel dread. And the only way to embrace hope is to laugh. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Find the humor in the dark and dreary. So you are having a bad day and the ether is not helping. Shut it down and turn to someone who […]

You may have heard the expression, sleep it off. Mostly referring to someone who may have had a little too much to drink. The same goes with anger, irritation and impatience. What are those triggers that cause you to reach a boiling point? Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Sleep it off. If you can’t figure out what’s […]

We never stop learning. And something about not knowing still triggers us. So much so, we stop listening when we sense we should have all the answers in our job. This happens all of the time. To very smart people, by the way. All human beings hear what they want to hear. So if we […]

We like speed. And a lot of the time, money drives speed. We shorten timelines so we can get more for less. We try to beat the competitor by offering faster delivery. We plan so far ahead, we try to predict fashion a year and a half away, not just 12 months anymore. Speed can […]
#RPCL Log Date April 6, 2017: #BeingHuman #MindOverMatter
I’ve been fighting a cold now for a week and it suddenly came upon me on my first day of vacation. It’s proof to me that there is such a thing as mind over matter. At least I have called upon it when I knew I didn’t have time to get sick during a busy […]
#RPCL Log Date April 5, 2017: #BeingHuman #PassionTakesHeart
Just yesterday I finished a meeting and was surprised by the dynamic in the room. I’ve only just realized why. It was because my team gave the pitch their heart. We all put personal and emotional energy into the creative development and in turn received no grace, no thank you and no show of appreciation. Your mission, if you […]

You have to wonder what makes human beings so rude or cranky to strangers. Even the crankiest person can be kind and connect with their people. Cars turn people into jerks, and lately Facebook or other social media can too. It’s like they are speaking to machines, not people, so it’s suddenly okay. Remember that people seek […]
