Purpose Matters

Herein lies Bear's great wisdom...Purpose Matters. It matters to everyone, not just the leaders. Especially if it's not clear why the change is happening. Perhaps there is a change in priorities based on a vision for the future. Or there is a new regulation or maybe a different protocol that…

Nothing is Wasted

There is a different, far more compassionate way to look at these feelings. It's almost impossible to see once you are off and running, but if you can pause as this bubbles up, there's a good chance you can re-direct this train of thought. Because even feelings of discomfort or…

The Myth of Arrival

Our culture perpetuates the myth of Arrival. Like if we really pulled it all together, we could be that polished, calm, energetic, accomplished individual that we see reflected in the stereotypes of our imagination.

7/38/55

What’s in your doghouse?

In order for each of us to bring ourselves back from "destructive busy" to "productive busy," we need to know "What's in our doghouse?" What are the things, in just a few minutes, that can help bring us back from feeling distracted, isolated, or just not motivated, to a sense…
