Sometimes I have these wildly egotistical thoughts. I will see something in the world and somehow think that something might be happening that entirely revolves around me. This can be stuff that is completely insane that would ever happen! This is embarrassing to admit but I wonder if I'm not the only one and it [...]
We take the easy route. We look for short cuts. And we fail to recognize when things around us change. Our city is conducting construction this summer with constantly changing traffic patterns and people are regularly confused. Fortunately I haven't seen an accident but I suspect most of us who have been in the area [...]
Maybe it's considering what actions to take in light of a global pandemic, a risk unlike any I have ever known and a risk that is constantly changing as we learn more about the potential consequences and as infection rates climb. Or maybe it's because I spend my days counseling community members to assist them [...]
Were you the kid that couldn't sit still in the classroom? Or maybe you have a child who has even been diagnosed with ADD just for not being able to sit still. Yet we hear about different types of learning. Visual, verbal, physical, etc. One advantage of distance learning opportunities that abound in the time [...]
We might present in a certain way for a reason. We dress professionally at work based on the appropriate attire for our region, the work we do, the work culture. It will be much different if you are a lawyer in NYC vs. Alabama vs. Anchorage, Alaska - which is even very different to Juneau, [...]
I started training recently for a half Ironman race in December. One that I may not actually want to travel for, but I decided it was time to train for something. Actually, I'm not swimming...but biking and running each three times per week along with strength training. This is exactly the same routine as I [...]
Systems are great when we know what we want to do. But we must try options first to decide on a good system and then decide how to implement it. We don't know what works until we try it. A system could be a routine, the type of food that makes you feel the best [...]
I was working with my business coach recently and told her I was really hung up on my "why" of my estate planning practice. Simon Sinek, among others, talk about how important it is to know and to convey your why of a business. My concern that my 'why', at least that I could come [...]
I recently reached out to an accounting firm to inquire about assistance with my taxes. They treated me well, but I didn't feel like they wanted my service. At first I thought poorly of them. Surely they must want my service and just don't know how to show it, right? Then I talked with a [...]
Our actions today may be right in the moment, but may not be right for the next moment. Facts change (as we learn information through the scientific process). Our viewpoints change. The world changes. People change. What we stood for as young people may have been right for that time but not in the moment. [...]
