Humans are often both their best and worst advocates at the same time. I sometimes have these episodes of chronic migraines. Nothing life threatening or to worry about, but when it hits, it’s incredible how flooded I am with emotions I can barely manage – both mine and others’ emotions. It is not so much […]

Yesterday my house got burglarized, an experience I wish on no one; it is incredibly destabilizing. I am not one to care much for the stuff I own, so that has not been the biggest issue. I do however, feel incredibly violated and unsafe in my own house at the moment, and I realize it […]

Today I was reading an article talking about social norms. It was explaining why highly visible food items never totally disappear at meetings. Have you noticed how when someone brings pastries to a meeting you always end up with a piece of it left, which disappears the moment no one is around? This apparently comes […]

Sometimes I tend to see life as a roller coaster. There are those moments of blissful pause at the top of the track where everything seems in equilibrium, but that never lasts more than an instant before everything starts moving rapidly downward. The descent always scares me, or so I thought until I recently realized that the […]

There are days when I feel like I simply cannot accomplish anything. And then there are those when I cross off so many things from my list, that my head whirls from excitement. Thankfully today was one of the latter. Because I am so generally bad at celebrating the little victories, after getting done with my last task I decided to […]
Forgetting How to Be Human #forgottenhumanity #humankindness
By Agent M1 on September 27, 2016 in Fireside Chats, Riffs & Ideas, Tip of the Day, Weekly Survival, Work Life Balance
People have forgotten how to be human in many ways. And when I say human, I mean kind. And wrapped into kindness are things like trust, empathy, compassion, attention (listening) and generally giving a crap about others. So, when I preach to parents why I think we are all (yes me too) way too focused […]
Follow Your Path
By Agent N1 on April 13, 2015 in Fireside Chats, Tip of the Day, Unplugged Letters, Work Life Balance
Six years ago, I directly managed ten senior staff and oversaw a team of over 700 who were implementing projects worth ~$20 million per year. For the last five and a half years, I have had a hiatus from all of that, from managing staff, and ensuring quality programming, and juggling money, and signing off […]
Embracing Discomfort
Fear, uncertainty, and discomfort are your compasses toward growth. Joseph Cambell
The Straight and Narrow
By Agent N1 on March 3, 2015 in Fireside Chats, Riffs & Ideas, Tip of the Day, Weekly Survival, Work Life Balance
Sometimes, the way forward is clear. Sometimes it is not. The only advice I can give is to follow your compass. This means following your own values, even if it means you have to rewrite the script or define new rules for your tribe or wait for a different path to show its way. Have […]
