I think I am having an epiphany. Could it be that for so long, we have been teaching employees to become drones (as in bees or ants, not in the aerial vehicle drones), so that they don’t have emotional outbursts and challenge authority? Could it be, that instead of learning Emotional Intelligence we are learning to be […]

#RPCL Log Date June 20, 2017: #BeingHuman #commonground #reunificationproject #RPCL
Back in December, I decided to blog and post a mission daily in 2017. This journey began as a personal pledge to process our human fallibility and to share it with the world (which started at n=50). Today we’ve almost hit 200 followers, which is more than when we started. Every day we hope to add to our […]
#RPCL Log Date June 12, 2017: #BeingHuman #ClearPointOfView #ProblemSolving
There is nothing more frustrating when a leader finds flaws in their team or company (or country) with no clear path to solutions. What’s lacking? Being curious about the real AND perceived issues, and a clear point of view for solving the problems. You can’t really solve problems you don’t understand. And it takes investigation, […]
#RPCL Log Date June 2, 2017: #BeingHuman #EmbraceGrowth
It’s not enough to know that we are all capable of growth. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Time to embrace a newer and better normal than what we live today. It’s feeling a little too unpredictable out there. #EmbraceGrowth Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go.

We all have the ability to see what we want to see, and believe what we want to believe. Even if it’s a skewed reality. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: If you believe that what you see is what you get, then see the good in folks. Help them to see it in themselves. #whatyouseeiswhatyouget #seethegoodinpeople […]

Emotional agility is the ability to self-regulate your negative talk. Once you recognize just how toxic your internal negative voice can be, you can actually change it! It will make you a better person, better leader and better contributor to society the more you focus on strengths and improving weaknesses, not your fears. Your mission, […]
#RPCL Log Date May 30, 2017: #BeingHuman #WhyWeJudge
Let’s face it. We never quite believe we measure up. Somehow the bar keeps raising after we achieve a new milestone, such that we only get to relish our achievement for a few pats on our back and then move on to the next impossible goal. So we look around to see what others are doing. […]
#RPCL Log Date May 28, 2017: #BeingHuman #RealityBites #LearnEmpathy
This morning I sat outside on my sunny porch to work. When I opened my laptop and checked email, the first note I read was from a good friend who lives in Myanmar. She shared that a mutual friend is visiting and working with human trafficking sex survivors – young girls who don’t even wear […]
#RPCL Log Date May 27, 2017: #BeingHuman #ChooseTrust
Blind faith is not always healthy. It implies we aren’t even making a choice, it’s just what we’ve learned. No questions asked. We can CHOOSE to believe that there is more than what we’ve always believed, by trusting sources that have been established and verified for a long time, based on ethics not religion or […]
#RPCL Log Date May 25, 2017: #BeingHuman #RightSizeExpectations #MoreIsNotBetter
For a while I’ve been on a kick to downsize my life. But in essence I’m right sizing my expectations. I used to believe that I NEEDED the three bathroom house since I grew up with one bathroom and two siblings. And now that I have it, I have had to stop myself from wanting […]
