Monday Moment: Plain and clear
This is one of those quotes that really grabs you the first time you see it. You wanna be like, yeah, exactly! A daring adventure! And then you pause for a second and wonder how exactly your current life stacks up to that description, and whether and how exactly it might, or should. What I

“No-Fail” Friday: Friend zone
The only thing better than the arrival of Friday is the rare Friday that happens to kick off a long, holiday weekend. You’ve got yourself one of that delicious variety today, if you happen to be in the U.S. (which I still am not! Yay, mindfulness travel!). You know that means a whole extra day

Opposites attract
It’s not easy being a mindful MBA. You’re supposed to be collaborative, yet ambitious. Analytical, but also compassionate. Both strategic and flexible. Present, and also visionary. It’s a lot to even contemplate, let alone try to be. I’m stressed out just thinking about it, and that’s the opposite of the point, right? So, I’ve got
Monday Moment: What you see
Kicking off the week with a reminder that what you get depends on what you see, or maybe more like how you see.

Attachment theory
Last week, we touched on the topic of new beginnings and change, since it seems it really is the only constant these days. With MBA orientations and classes getting underway, and application deadlines creeping ever so much closer by the week – not to mention a major natural event to behold this week – we’re
Monday Moment: Total transformation
So, are you ready for it? Kind of a weird/cool day in store, at least here in the continental U.S. It comes at a time of transition and transformation for many of us, too, as we prepare to bid farewell to summer, and start new gigs that may include career shifts or even heading back

“No-Fail” Friday: Beginner’s mind (x2)
You made it! The end of the work and school week is here. Of course, every end is a beginning, which in this case is even better news because it’s quite nearly, almost, officially…the weekend! Beginnings were really our topic of choice this week, anyway, and so of course, they’re also the subject of this

Begin again (x2)
There’s usually a lot of excitement in the air in January, when the new year begins and we feel like we have the opportunity to start fresh. You know I have some thoughts about formal resolutions, but I like a new beginning – a chance to start with a blank slate – as much as
