This is one of those Fridays when offices and classrooms tend to go quiet pretty early. Traffic is a little lighter (in some places) than usual. It’s a holiday weekend for some, but not a huge travel weekend, so people relax a little. It’s a nice reminder that it is, in fact, possible to relax […]
“No-Fail” Friday: Group dynamic Read More »
If you joined us on Monday, you know we started the week giving some thought to the company we keep. The people with whom we choose to surround ourselves are important for a lot of reasons. They affect your energy, your mindset, and even your physical state. Their advice and opinions (spoken and not) influence
If last week’s posts could be distilled down to a few key themes, one of them was definitely courage. Courage to listen to your intuition, courage to do things that scare you, courage to make choices that make others ask questions. Courage to follow your path, when it doesn’t look like anyone else’s. Because it

If this week’s earlier post was in part about turning inward, as posts around here often are, but also about taking a step back. When you’re busy, and often under pressure, and overloaded, and under-slept, decision-making is tough. When someone shows you a path that seems perfectly sensible, with all the steps mapped out and

You can deny it if you want to, but I know it’s true. So do you. You’re not the only one, though. Everyone feels the same way. Why wouldn’t you? We all want to be special. We all want to make our mark. We all want to live “the life less ordinary.” We are the
At this point on Monday, you may be wondering if you’re body’s even awake, let alone your heart. Stick with me for a second though. I think what Hafiz has in mind here is a different kind of awake than what your alarm does for you, although the trip there can be equally shocking at

We took some time earlier this week to talk about those tough moments in life when things don’t work out as you wanted them to. Bad news is hard to take in, and even harder to let go of. It generates a whole avalanche of related thoughts about our self-worth, and why (we think) things

Yes, that’s right. It’s that time of year again. If you’ve been with me for a while, you’ve seen this one before. You never learn the same thing twice, though, so there may be something new for you in it this time around. Try that “beginner’s mind” thing. It actually works. 😉 With MBA admissions
Acceptance, and the lack thereof Read More »
Whoa, this Monday morning. Here in the U.S., most of us “sprung” our clocks forward this past weekend, and lost an hour in the process. It’s kind of hard to notice it even happened until you hit that first morning when an alarm goes off. Ouch. We’re all grown-ups, so we all survived, though…until tomorrow,

This week, we dove back in to the topic of decision-making, which is a popular one around here, and for good reason. Seems like there is always one on the horizon, big or small — or both. This weekend, your “no-fail” mindfulness challenge comes in stages, with some tips for visualizing different scenarios, and using
