We all like doing things our way, especially if we’re used to doing it a certain way. However it’s also human nature to desire change and evolve. So why not embrace a new way of doing things? As difficult as it can be to meet in the middle, sometimes it’s the only way. Your mission, if […]

#RPCL Log Date April 27, 2017: #BeingHuman #DontInvestinOnlyyourpower
Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Don’t invest in your own power if it’s to perpetuate your individual success. Times are changing. You can, too. Embrace people, community and helping others. Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go!
#RPCL Log Date April 23, 2017: #BeingHuman #MoveOn
Some days I feel bad about myself. The kind of bad where I want to take it out on my partner because he didn’t do something. When in reality, I know I am being unfair or unrealistic. I do want a new basement. I did want a new kitchen before I turned a certain age, […]
#RPCL Log Date April 20, 2017: #BeingHuman #BeACuriousMentor
Some of the best advice I have received from a friend and mentor recently was that I am not fixing anyone when I’m coaching. I need to remember that everyone I work with is fine and complete human beings on their own. Mentoring is not fixing someone. And it is not one-sided. We benefit and […]
#RPCL Log Date April 19, 2017: #BeingHuman #BeOkayWithBeingWrong
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 […]
#RPCL Log Date April 18, 2017: #BeingHuman #Don’tBeSelectivelyGenerous #BeBroadlyGenerous
Being selectively generous, is not being generous. I can’t tell you how annoyed I get when someone tells me they follow a book (aka the Bible) as if it exonerates judgmental behavior. Somehow this book tells them that they are better than others, and therefore they look down upon others as if they don’t have […]
#RPCL Log Date April 17, 2017: #BeingHuman #GetOutOfYourHead
Sometimes I get so frustrated with head talk. Sure, our inner voice can be powerful and motivational. But… it can also be extremely destructive. If we compare what we have to what we think we should have, we may feel we don’t measure up and start to believe we don’t deserve it. And it spirals […]
#RPCL Log Date April 16, 2017: #BeingHuman #OpenPerspective
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 14, 2017: #BeingHuman #FocusOntheGoodStuff
Teaming up with folks on projects or in life can be exhilarating at the start. So what happens when the honeymoon is over? I know it can be really hard to move on when something disappoints us. It’s almost like that one minor thing that happened is THE ONLY thing we can see. Your mission, […]
#RPCL Log Date April 13, 2017: #BeingHuman #SeriouslyJustBreathe
Stress is a killer. Both figuratively and literally. Just google it and you’ll find dozens of articles like this one. Money is the number one cause. And I can totally relate. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Just breathe. If we are fortunate enough to have our (personal and family) health and wellness, […]
