We’ve all been caught saying “humans are so predictable” at some point in our lives. Why is that? When we say it, do we mean what we say? Assuming we do, we may be able to peel beneath the layers and observe just how patterned humans really are. This insight can help us when we […]

We were having dinner with friends when I was describing a recent story from a therapist about his clients who are stuck 40-something male (company name here) employees seeking counseling. (You can probably insert software or other companies too, but in his case it was all one software company). They can’t quit. The money is too good. […]

We all want to be right. And we want it so badly, we listen for confirmation of our beliefs to justify how right we are. It’s amazing how many people were shocked when they learned that the recent leader of the country was going to take some healthcare benefits away. What they didn’t realize was […]

How are you with conviction? Are you someone who has extreme beliefs based on past failures? As humans, we can learn from mistakes. AND we can evolve to the point where the same trials might turn into something bigger and better with one minor pivot. It’s not always ALL or NOTHING. Your mission, if […]
#RPCL Log Date April 9, 2017: #BeingHuman #SleepItOff
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 […]
#RPCL Log Date April 8, 2017: #BeingHuman #TakeCareToLearn
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 […]

In the past I’ve worked with some incredibly kind people. Leaders because they are exemplifying leadership no matter their title. And some of the best leaders I’ve found, are kind even under pressure. What about you. Are you one of those kind overt or covert leaders? Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Think about why leaders […]
#RPCL Log Date March 29, 2017: #BeingHuman #CombatFearofBeingDifferent
Do you feel weird or just different from others at home, at school, at work or in life in general? Are your parents from somewhere else and they don’t feel very culturally adaptive within your city or town? My mom is from Asia and I remember growing up thinking that everyone had parents that spoke […]

What’s your definition of narcissism? According to Wikipedia: Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one’s own attributes. I believe we all have narcissistic leanings. Self-preservation tends to make us so. And then other factors can contribute like doting parents or partners and a lot of entitlement. Alternatively, abandonment can also turn us into victim-narcisissts when we are struggling to find normalcy […]
#RPCL Log Date March 17, 2017: #BeingHuman #ManageYourself
Human beings are always striving to change themselves. Sometimes it’s an adjustment to be better. Oft times it’s a giant leap to be something else -something or someone we are not. It’s heart breaking when children grow up in conditions that are so far from what is actually normal, that they are too ashamed to […]
