“He’s just a chip off the old block!”  We read those words and know instantly what they mean: that we are an expression of those who have come before us.  How does that happen?   How do we get to be moulded and shaped in ways that leave us believing that we ARE what we’ve been told we are, devoid of any power to redefine or transform ourselves to be otherwise?   The answer is right before us and yet impossible for so many to recognize.  Take a moment to reconsider what history has offered and discover that we are not bound to what ‘was’ in the creation of who we might become.

Thinking About… Choosing

Posted by on January 28, 2010 at 11:34 am

It’s a simple question: am I awake or am I asleep? Am I choosing or just reacting? Do I pause before I do/don’t do or do I just trundle along? And when was the last time I even noticed? Unless I’m willing to check in from time-to-time, I may completely miss a decade of my life in the mindless sleepwalk of habituation.

Thoughts On… The Level of the Game

Posted by on

A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = 6:15

Thoughts On… Level of the Game

“Be careful!” “Take it slow!” “But what if….” Many of us grow up, finely attuned to all that might not work… might go wrong… becoming cautious about and suspicious of those internal cues that urge us to live fully and live large! Imagine discovering the capacity to trust an inner world… YOUR inner world… making it possible for you to engage in meaningful and life-enhancing ways. What would your day look like? What would it feel like to be you? How else might you make choices and decisions that affect your world and that of the people you care about? And perhaps, more than anything else, who might you discover yourself to be capable of becoming?

Thinking About… Leadership

Posted by on

What does it take for women to lead? How must we reconsider and/or redfine notions of ‘leadership’ in order for women to be willing to engage in huge numbers? What are the limitations of our current experience of ‘leadership’ or ‘leader’ that ensure that large numbers of women stay hidden, silent and very, very still?

TEDtalks ~ James Geary, metaphorically speaking

Posted by on January 26, 2010 at 1:11 pm

Aphorism enthusiast and author James Geary waxes on a fascinating fixture of human language: the metaphor. Friend of scribes from Aristotle to Elvis, metaphor can subtly influence the decisions we make, Geary says.

Thinking About… Letting Go

Posted by on

‘Letting go’ takes on new meaning as we invite, allow and continue to move forward when others have chosen otherwise for themselves. It is not about good/bad, right/wrong – it is about what we see and the eyes through which we do so. That my eyes do not see what yours do does not, in any way, need to blind either of us to our own ‘reality’. Sometimes, that means moving on, trusting that no one gets left behind.

Given that as adults, we’ll spend more time at work than anywhere else, ‘work’ provides us with an immense and constantly shifting opportunity – a living laboratory! – to discover more about ourselves and each other. Nestled into a vast array of human behaviours, the invitation to see beyond the content of the work and explore the potential we all carry offers up day-to-day moments of insight and awareness that culminate in the realization that we are not helpless victims, hostage to the pay cheque that defines the quality of our lives. We have what it takes to redefine work and redesign a more meaningful life.

Posted by on January 23, 2010 at 1:15 pm

For the dawn of a new decade, adventurer Bertrand Piccard offers us a challenge: Find motivation in what seems impossible. He shares his own plans to do what many say can’t be done — to fly around the world, day and night, in a solar-powered aircraft.

He’s talking about learning how to allow our minds to open so that we can soar, fuelled by our own potential!
