I think the most common complaints I hear
from folks in corporations these days is that they are ‘just tired’,
have ‘low energy’ or are ‘burned out’. Usually these declarations are
accompanied by a compelling story that there is ‘too much work’ or that
they are pressed to produce without having the resources they need. It
seems people are working in a condition in which they are being
constantly called on to produce more for less. The results: poor morale
(at best), an environment of stress (at worst), breakdowns in people’s
health, lower productivity, and even (in extreme cases) sabotage. But
what do these statements mean? And what can we do to change our
experience at work (or in life) for that matter?[ Read More]

Over the last year or two, I’ve found myself
surrounded by family and friends who have been diagnosed with cancer of
different forms. I’d say the number amounts to a dozen people. Of
these, only two are in remission (breast cancer and testicular cancer).
Six have passed away (after lengthy chemo/radiation) and the remaining
four are in the midst of their “battle”, as it’s put. These are,
seemingly, not great odds of survival.[ Read More]

I
read somewhere that good decision-making—indeed, good relations—
depends upon a virtuous cycle of respect, trust and candour (which
takes some time to establish, but which can easily be interrupted).
Attitude, after all, is everything. Perhaps that last statement needs a
bit of refinement: the ethical
attitude is everything. By that I mean the determination of the answer
to the age-old question: who is right? Was Harold right to express his
annoyance with conduct he perceived as racist and excessive, in coarse
language? Was the police officer right to arrest Harold in his
perceived perception that Harold was instigating a threat to the public
peace? Was the security guard right to expel the children from his shop
and continue to press for their departure from the vicinity? We don’t
have enough facts, a lawyer might argue. In a courtroom, various
perspectives and motives would be put in play, with neither party being
satisfied by the result. Forensic justice cannot answer competing
claims for rightness in a manner satisfying for everyone. But here, I
stand with Harold.[ Read More]

As I continue to follow my passion, helping people ‘feel’ beautiful,
I’ve come to notice that beauty and self-image are one and the same.
The journey to real beauty is an interesting path of self-appreciation. Many
women and men ask for my help to ‘look’ more beautiful. These
individuals have often felt a prompting to change their behavior, even
more so than their look. They are beginning to see the possibilities in
themselves and just need a little encouragement to ‘be’ themselves, to
fully express who they are. Whether they receive an image make-over as
a gift or whether they ‘gift’ themselves, the inspiration usually comes
from a desire to discover their own inner beauty (as well as maximize
what they’ve been given).[ Read More]
