Fear is a monster. It’s the one thing we human beings try to conquer our entire lives. We teach our children to be afraid of strangers, and to be courageous in pursuing their dreams. We fight our inner voices to go after bigger and better lives for ourselves and our family. And fear gets in the way […]

#RPCL Log Date May 18, 2017: #BeingHuman #ResetExpectations
Step away from your present fear. What do you feel when you choose to ignore the stress and thrum in your body? Are you in the amazing race to beat your middle class conditions? Do you want more than minimum wage? Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Take a deep breath. Compare your day to […]

Sometimes I flip flop between the belief that we live in a passion economy and a speed economy. Another way to think about passion economy is impact. Are we making a great enough difference? Speed economy is about growth and bottom line. Are we working fast enough to exceed market expectations? Your mission, if you choose […]

Impact happens en masse, not just by one individual and for one winner. Yet sometimes it takes one decision maker, one influencer, to create change.

When we speak from a place of belief, where we live and breathe those words we speak, we burn bright. I have a few clients like that. Both men and women, they are amazing at setting ideas on fire and motivating others to set things in motion. Sure, some folks burn brighter than others, but it’s not […]

Recently I got a scolding email. It was sort of strange, as it was from a complete stranger, and it reminded me how easy it is to communicate via email without any sense of how the message may be received. We call it being direct, but sometimes it’s just plain raw information that hasn’t been […]
#RPCL Log Date May 4, 2017: #BeingHuman #StretchGoalsNotBarriers
Dream big. Why not? Sure there are barriers. There always are. And, just like that tree you are about to ski into if you stare it down, the barrier becomes a real thing if you focus on it. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Turn your barriers into stretch goals. You can start […]
#RPCL Log Date May 3, 2017: #BeingHuman #EmbraceTheUnexpected
Life is full of unexpected surprises. Some of them are not as desired as others. In a growth mindset, we adapt. In a fixed mindset, we find a scapegoat. What’s your mindset? It can change, so take a snapshot of it today, and check back to see where it is in three months. Your mission, […]
