Encouragement is all it takes to get a toddler to take its first step. We are no different as adults. Stepping into a mosh pit is usually done with the support of friends. Stepping into a new role that stretches us can be greatly improved with constructive and encouraging feedback, giving us a hope of success. Thanks […]

#RPCL Log Date January 17, 2017: #BeingHuman #OriginStory
Why do you care about what’s going on in your culture? How does it tie to your identity and personal beliefs? Your identity can greatly impact what you choose to see and choose to ignore. Anaïs Nin once said, “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are”. It starts with your story. […]

Today, as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on some of the darker days in our history, I think about the work we have in front of us to reconstruct the American divide. King’s vision was to eventually become color blind. And yet, this past year, instead of being hopeful about unity, racial and […]

Take. Your. Power. If 2016 was as bad as some of us think it was, now it’s time to be in charge of 2017. I’m referring to it as Take Your Superpower. If you’ve been handed the damn box of magic powers, of super strengths, of talents and gifts, take it. Be it. Stop focusing on your weaknesses. We […]
#RPCL Log Date January 14, 2017: #BeingHuman #Love #Self #ViableForce
These days, it’s easy to look in the mirror and, like Jack Nicholson, wonder if this is “As good as it gets?” Am I on top of my game? Do I believe I can do more? Can I be a viable force in the world? It’s not enough to receive approval or “likes” on social media from […]
#RPCL Log Date January 8, 2017: #BeingHuman #DisruptYourEchoChamber
We love to be aligned with our people. It’s less work. We all reinforce the same values and beliefs. We feel safe. And yet…Houston, we have a problem if we live on two different planets here in the U.S. where the blue planet doesn’t get the red planet. So let’s break the spin cycle. Earth and Mars have […]
#RPCL Log Date January 7, 2017: #BeingHuman #BeingCurious
How do we use our curiosity for good? I find that it can be difficult to ask “why” without feeling like an interrogation by my 9 year old, but I appreciate the desire to know, to understand, to continue to wonder about the world and how we all create our version of “order.” So why […]
#RPCL Log Date January 6, 2017: #BeingHuman #BeingCreative
I love the idea of infusing creativity into every aspect of our business and personal lives. I used to believe that we were creating robots out of engineers by not exposing science majors to enough arts. By teaching to a rigorous curriculum and over-engineering our world, we are less likely to deviate from the norm. Some rules […]

Have you heard of the term barn raising? It was popular in the 18th and 19th century in rural North America – that’s according to Wiki. This term is about community in all its glory, where people come together to build a barn for families, neighbors, or friends in need. It became a metaphor for communities […]
#RPCL Log Date January 4, 2017: #BeingHuman #Resolution
Are you slowly embracing your daily routine after the holiday disruption? Have you devised a new regimen that will stick this time? Being positive is probably the biggest challenge for me with inauguration day forthcoming. But then I know I suck for saying that, sounding whiny because I have so so so much for which to be grateful. What are you grateful […]
