Turning Potential Into Results
IMHO IRL Crushes it!
If you are closer to 20 than 50, you probably read the title without any effort. If you are north of 50, you probably wondered if my spell checker is OTF (On The Fritz = out of order, malfunctioning). I just made OTF up. I doubt it will catch on. Even if you are north…

Always learning
It keeps dawning on me that no matter what I’m doing, thinking or with whom I’m interacting, I’m learning, consciously or unconsciously. A question I’m now asking is: What am I learning? To challenge my thinking or argue that I’m right (again)? To argue my logic or listen from my heart? To hold my breath…

Date forever, Never marry
We date to find “the one” – that special someone with whom we fit. We ask questions, share feelings, watch and listen closely. We introduce friends so we can ask them later, “Well, … what do you think?” While the specific criteria may vary, the core commitment is universal: Find someone with whom we can…

Webs we weave (in a good way)
I thought driving on the freeway would blow them off, but, that didn’t happen. I thought going through the car wash would remove them, but, no deal. The spider webs were still on my car door mirrors. Spider silk is flexible, stretchable and 5x stronger than steel. The silk from the Caerostris Darwini spider is…

School’s in Session for Everyone!
My nephews are lawyers. I asked the one who practices in WDC, “What’s it like being a lawyer in these days of the assault on our justice system?” He told me this: I remember attending a mandatory training event after passing the bar. The first speaker began with something like, “Congratulations on passing the bar!…

Bolt of Insight
This is what we found as we laid out the parts to assemble a shade awning for our patio. My reaction, “Crap. Everyone one of these bolts is bent and broken.” Oops. The bolts weren’t defective. They were an innovation. I couldn’t see it at first. My knowledge and experience of…

To go back, go forward
When I was 6, having mom pack my lunch in a brown paper bag was normal. Normal for me and mom. When I was 16, asking mom for lunch money for the week was normal. Normal for me and mom. (I’m sure my eye-rolling at the reminder “Don’t lose it!” was part of our shared…

Bright Side of Burnout
On a break during a coaching session, this poster listing 101 Stress Relievers was on the bathroom wall. It has some great examples. You probably do some of them already. When my clients ask me how to reduce stress, we focus on 3 things: keeping our word, acting consistent with our values, and having compassion…

Putting together the “team” puzzle
I like putting jigsaw puzzles together. Here’s my strategy: Pick a picture I like. Know that I am choosing the challenge, choosing to play the game. Put the frame together by assembling all the edge pieces. I touch every piece and only pull out the ones with flat edges. My focus is the to…
