There are days when I just can’t take another change in direction from forward movement to stalemate. But perception is reality, and some live in an upside reality from mine. If I live in London, they live in UnLondon. How can it be? What does it mean? Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Turn […]

#RPCL Log Date February 24, 2017: #BeingHuman #LeanOnSomeone
One of the most important things we can do in our lives is mentor others. We learn by being mentored. Have you had a special coach or mentor in your life? If not, it’s time to lean on someone and, hopefully in so doing, you can also find someone to help. Your mission, if you choose to […]

As humans, we want to achieve greatness. Many of us are fortunate enough to be surrounded by a positive community that nurtures and supports our desires. But not all of us have that privilege. There’s still time to imagine your ideal self. You can start with a slight improvement, and chart out how to be a better […]

As a covert leader in my early 30’s, I discovered I needed to have a point of view that was distinct, own able and authentically mine before taking the job of CEO of a non-profit. It took a lot of watching, studying, listening. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Find your voice among the noise. […]
#RPCL Log Date February 21, 2017: #BeingHuman #Unapologetic
As a parent I try to teach my daughters to be bold, yet cautious. Polite, yet unapologetic. But when my daughters end up apologizing over things that are menial, I get surprisingly annoyed when they keep saying sorry. And I realize my irritation is completely internal – it’s my personal perception of myself, my weakness, my apologetic tenor in […]

What defines American culture? Growing up in the U.S. we called it a melting pot of different cultures. Canadians consider themselves a mosaic of cultures that co-exist. Culture is defined by core values, a set of beliefs to live by. And it’s defined by external norms and behaviors like language, food, dress, religion, education, etc. Your mission if you […]

As a parent, I have to remind myself that my children want to succeed, especially when I’m scolding them for making a mistake. There’s a fine balance between encouraging failure, taking risk and scaring them enough to avoid mistakes that are too risky. As a community, supporting success en masse is a similar construct. Yet it’s one that […]

There was a time when every marketer new the magic to marketing: sex sells. Put anything on a model, sell sleek, and you had a higher chance of sales. It occurred to me last night that we have a new currency for marketers. When talking about how to position something almost boring – reunification – in a sexy way, […]

Recently I was asking an aging Millennial (which means 36 year old) how she felt about getting involved in a creative project for change. Her response: “I may be an overly pragmatic creative, but I just don’t see how any art project can stand out in the noise. Maybe I should do something more, like […]

One of my favorite Shakespearean plays is MacBeth and in the act when MacBeth is confronted with the zero sum game of destruction that leads to self destruction. This line: Out, out brief candle. Life is but a walking shadow. It is a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage, only […]
