Reading bad news… some days it can hit right between the eyes and land with excruciating consequences. The way I see it, I have two choices. One is to feel like crap about it. Feel down because I have higher expectations of humanity. The other is to be pragmatic about it. Take the latest ruling […]

According to wiki, “In jazz and R&B, riffs are often used as the starting point for longer compositions”. In our case, we’d like to think of them as the starting point for random stories. This could be the random section where even whining is allowed. Heck, it could eventually turn into a song.

Age. It’s a trip. And with age comes a sense of entitlement and fear. Our society allows us to feel entitled when we become mature adults compared to our teenage selves. Yet there comes an age when it’s no longer okay to get older (especially for women aesthetically), and fear sets in – that horrible […]

Tough morning. Some mornings I read the news and I just can’t take the level of hatred. Your mission to achieve Superhumanness: Don’t let your fear turn you into a semi-human. You are better than this. Be kind along your journey and remember, you got this! #beinghuman #beingsuperhuman #humanup #heroup #nofear #youarebetterthanthis #semihuman #bealeader #bekind […]

Curiosity. It’s so misunderstood. Some people assume they are curious because they are playful or creative. Some believe they are good scientists and skeptics, questioning everything. But in reality. we need to separate interrogation, inquisition, curiosity and constant self-doubt (when we question everything about everything in our heads). Naturally when it comes to the workplace, […]

Some people are fast learners when assembling the pieces of their lives. Others never look around to gather them all. I’m somewhere in between. I’ve come to the realization that I can live and breath imperfect. I’m a pro at it. But some people don’t want to see. You can lead a horse to water… […]

As I watch my community of clients, colleagues and friends mature, I’m finding we all fit in four categories. Proudly inflexible. Blindly inflexible. Moderately flexible. Highly flexible. I’ve been thinking about this because I am experiencing the Blindly Inflexible people more than I would wish to. For some reason, there is this naivete among the […]

As I try to make sense of my world and find order, I see chaos. But it’s not the chaos in my life that overwhelms me. What overwhelms me is how people function within that chaos. What drives them. How fear turns beautiful chaos into a dark abyss. What makes me sad as I try to […]

So… hi. This is my first blog post. I’m agent M7. The other day, a student pointed out to me that when she raises a counterargument in class, she often is judged and dismissed by some of the others for offering a different view. She feels ostracized at times. Debate dates back centuries and has been an […]

It’s really tough to just get over the election. I’m finding that I am now questioning my value as a female contributor in the workplace. I think that the hateful and dismissive language from our soon-to-be POTUS will leave a Harry Potter lightening bolt on my forehead for a while (maybe forever). From the other […]
