When we become entrepreneurs or consultants, something happens. Fear clouds our vision. Generosity is lost. In a world where we conform to a single definition of success, we create blinders for ourselves. We lean on others when we are in need, but not as generous when they are. And most of us don’t see it in ourselves. […]

#RPCL Log Date June 8, 2017: #BeingHuman #DeclarationOfLove #CareDeeply
What’s your declaration of love in this world? If you were to declare your affection for a person, place or thing, who, where or what would it be? I declare my love of family, of pristine nature, of a very supportive community. I’m so fortunate and extremely grateful. Your mission, if you choose to accept […]

Do you believe you make a difference in the world? From everything I read, it’s starting to make sense why people choose to ignore attacks on their beliefs. Even if they have merit. There is such a sense of complacency – and I certainly feel it when I’m feeling so hopelessly sad about causes like […]
#RPCL Log Date June 6, 2017: #BeingHuman #TakeResponsibility #CollectiveActions
How deeply do you feel responsible for others, the loved ones in your life? And how deeply do you feel responsible for strangers? I tend to feel a lot of responsibility for the people close in my life. Not only loved ones, but also for my colleagues and clients. I want to see influencers open […]

We are all sales people in leadership. The good ones just know how to tell a story that is both authentic, and feels like their story is your story, too. The difference between good and bad leadership is in your values. Are you for others, or for self? Your mission, if you choose to accept it: […]
#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.
#RPCL Log Date June 1, 2017: #BeingHuman #seethegoodinpeople
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 […]
#RPCL Log Date May 31, 2017: #BeingHuman #GetOutOfYourHead
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 29, 2017: #BeingHuman #Dehumanization
The media has taken a licking from much of middle America and in part, very deserving. And now? It’s clear that many news outlets are trying to rise above the desire to trade stories for a buck, by finding the hard truths in every political narrative thrown at us. But it’s too much information. Too much to assimilate […]
