The Wealthy Leader
I have been bankrupt a few times in my life. And I am not talking about the financial kind. My bankruptcy was one of the Spirit. These were times of great cynicism and negativity. I was constantly borrowing from my past and trying hard to create a positive future. As I look back, I can see that I was being stingy. I did not share much of myself with the world and therefore my emotional and mental bank accounts were running on empty. Today, I know that money is not the singular element of great abundance. I submit to you … 
The Loving Leader
The world is stingy. This is juxtaposed by generosity. I am not talking necessarily about money. I am talking about generosity of the human spirit. The great leaders I know are generous with inspiration and enthusiasm. These men and women give it freely, because they know that “it” is free to give. Others hold back and withhold like they might run out of their own Love. The most powerful source of energy we have available to us is Love. Now, before you accuse me of going woo woo on you, just stop and consider the possibility of the statement. Name …
The Rhythm of Leadership…
The beat goes on my friends. The cadence prevails and as a Leader you must learn to listen. Can you hear the music? You will only hear it if you sit still long enough to find the beat. Most of us are in too big of a hurry to tune in. I have found that when I get into a big hurry I miss the best songs in life. I sometimes miss golden opportunities and suddenly life and business begins to feel like a big game of tag. At that point, I am playing touch with the tasks in my …
The Giving of Getting
Great leaders give. We give all the time. We look for places to give. We are not shy about being taken advantage of, because giving has a result to it. We are not looking for someone to notice our giving and even if they won’t, we give anyway. We do it because it is endemic to our nature. Sometimes you get tired. You get tired because you think you have given all there is to give. Most of us have way more to give than we think. The more we extend ourselves, the more energy comes back around. There is …
Being There
Have you ever heard a song that touched you so deeply that you had a chill go up your spine? Have you seen a sunset lately that made your eyes moist with loving tears? Have you ever watched a movie that was so amazing that you text your best friend before the credits have rolled? I call those inspired moments and God, how I love those moments. I am blessed to have many of those moments in my life. I have those more and more and more…as I live more closely to my own sense of Self. There are actually …
How to be a yodel YOU?
He cried. He did not cry from sadness, he cried out loud from pure joy. His cry pierced through the mountain air with instrumental perfection. Most of us have been taught not to cry for any reason. At seventy five years young he chose to abandon the rules and he sang aloud with all his might. I felt myself chuckle deep down inside. He looked up slope at me and asked? “Have you ever just been so happy you cannot contain it?” I laughed out loud. Yes, I have; I said. Then, I leaned back and let it rip. …
What is Being Authentic Anyway?
I was speaking on the East Coast this past week and out of the blue, I began to question what the difference is between positive thinking and intelligence? It’s not like I am the resident expert on either subject. However there was something magical as I talked about what the two meant to me. First, I think positive thinking has been a good thing for many people. Let’s just say the endeavor to be “positive” will likely be more serving for most people than the endeavor to be cynical. However, I have known some people (yes, even me in my …
