Kris shared one of Nick Askew’s short films recently and I want to share another with you today, as I think it calls us in a simple yet profound way to fundamentally examine our intentions, always a good thing to do, but particularly so this time of year. Viewing time is less than 2 minutes.

I’m OK as long as you’re not
I was reading this blog post by Daniel Pink - the jist is that we feel better when our circumstances match those around us. For example, if you’re laid off, you feel better if those around you are laid off, too. As magnanimous as it may seem to wish another well, the truth is more that [...]
Perpetual summertime
This is from Nic Askew, of Soul Biographies. After reading it, I wondered if you would consider letting your light shine from the inside, allowing us on the outside to see it. What might that do to your work, your attitude, your overall approach to life? How might this affect your coming New Year? How [...]
Which Wolf Do You Feed?
There is a parable told about a young Cherokee who is brought before the tribal elders, who are concerned about his aggressive tendencies. One of the elders takes the young man aside and tells him that his anger is understandable, since all humans have within them two wolves. One wolf is good and peaceable, and [...]
Waiting Is OK
One of the time mastery experts from whom we heard during our recent Time Experts Telesummit talked about the way we are conditioned to react to stimuli. He asked listeners to reflect on how they react to things such as a newly arrived email, a ringing phone, a doorbell, a fire alarm. And I noticed [...]
GraceWorks
I had the privilege of spending some time with the folks at GraceWorks yesterday. As described on their website, GraceWorks was established by Grace Cathedral in San Francisco in partnership with secular resources, and exists to provide job search and career transition support for unemployed and underemployed professionals of the San Francisco Bay Area. GraceWorks [...]
Gratitude: It’s Good For What Ails Ya
I can hear you out there. “Thanksgiving week—and here’s another story about gratitude [yawn].” Yet given the research that has shown the very real psycho- and biological benefits of reflecting on that for which one is grateful, you might be—dare I say it?—grateful for this opportunity!
When we are feeling Lost in Corporate America (i.e., dissatisfied [...]
Paying attention to the coaching
The coaching is around you always …it’s your job to pay attention to it.
This means that life is always giving you information, and the more you pay attention to what the messages are, the more you can navigate through it with ease.
My time in TX has been a reminder of this concept, to be open [...]
Jamie
I have a client and let’s call him Jamie. Jamie has a job he can’t stand, except for the fact that he is allowed to do it half a world away from the organization’s headquarters. So even though he now rolls his eyes so much during conference calls that he’s in danger of going cross-eyed, [...]
More Fun With Johnny B.
I shared with you earlier this week about Daniel Pink’s Johnny Bunko career guide “comic” book and what it has to say about making plans and following them (or not). Another concept I wanted to share with you from the book has to do with why we choose to do the things we do when [...]
