It's my birthday week 🥳


Reader, thanks for pausing to celebrate with me!

This week's #ShowUpPositive Spark, WISDOM, is inspired by my age.

After walking upon this earth for five decades, I have definitely gained some wisdom.

There is no denying experience is a mighty teacher.

With each success and humility, there is an opportunity to garner more wisdom.

Reader, I also notice that much of this wisdom goes unnoticed until it is shared with others.

In telling our stories and collaborating with others, we access the deeper insights that turn events into wisdom.

Since the beginning of 2024 I've hosted Talk Me Off the Ledge, an audio event on LinkedIn, each Monday (12:30-1:15 pm).

What I initially expected were converstions about tactical and relational challenges in business.

Instead, it has transformed into an exploration of assumptions, beliefs, and values.

In listening to the stories participants share, I learn and challenge my own thinking.

Each week I start my Monday feeling more

  • centered
  • peaceful
  • connected
  • curious
  • wise

So, this week I'm personally inviting you Reader.

Come celebrate my birthday week and join me in increasing and sharing you wisdom as we discuss​

  • Are we celebrating enough?
  • Why don't we celebrate more?
  • What criteria do we use to determine celebration worthiness?

Early in my career, every publicly traded company I worked for eventually hired one of the big management consulting firms to help them figure out how to increase productivity and profit. At first, it was a helpful exercise. Tightening up processes, automating, and leveraging people in better ways were the right decisions. Unfortunately, the hamster wheel chasing more and more and more never eased. Workers became...

Reader, these tips are 🔥 This week's #ShowUpPositive Spark, BEHOLD, is inspired by my colleague Gary. Childhood was my introduction to the word behold. The contextual use was something of magnificence or splendor. Thus, I always interpreted behold to mean see something amazing had to be present. Then I met Gary during one of my early LinkedIn audio events, Talk Me Off the Ledge, and he opened my eyes to a whole new perspective. BE = Present, attentive; HOLD = Pause, be still. BEHOLD was not...

Rest is space from people who zap your energy constant demands grinding at your computer all-day the hampster wheel of productivity back-to-back meetings cleaning up someone else's mess overwhelming commitments being enslaved by obligation masking your true self I don't know about you Reader, but just reading that list makes me want to curl up in a ball and hide.
