Slow Down

Reading Time: 2 minutes I once had a boss who used to say “the speed of the leader is the speed of the team”. These days, I’ve been finding that at least some of the time, my team needs to be able to set the pace. I’ve been learning that when my team tells me to slow down, it serves to listen.

Mindfulness Definition

Reading Time: < 1 minute To intentionally shift the point of focus away from thoughts that do not serve in this moment

BEing First

Reading Time: < 1 minute BEing First isn’t about winning, nor is it about beating others, or even helping others, it’s about knowing who you are and what you stand for relative to the world around you.

Hijacked

Reading Time: 4 minutes I did an experiment once; I counted, for one day, the number of times I was brain-hijacked. It was about 40 – and here I was thinking I was a calm-and-can-handle-anything-that-life -throws-at-me kinda gal. Ha! I’m just saying it was a bad day!

Starting Over

Reading Time: 3 minutes In reality, we only end up taking the mess with us – hidden in a box or a book or a bag that one thought had been discarded. And that mess has an amazing way of turning up just when it is least welcome. And worst of all, when we run away, we often leave behind something of value – a loss that may never be recovered.
