One more day and we’ll know for sure who
will be our President. If we accept the polls, it looks like a
slam-dunk for Obama. (I already voted for him.) But even should there
be a miracle for McCain, the nation faces a moment of truth unlike any
time that I can recall’—at least not since the end of the Civil War. I
am talking about how we get beyond the LEFT versus RIGHT schism that
has divided and fragmented our nation and made a mockery of what we
used to say in the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ when we declared ourselves to
be “One Nation Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for
All”.[ Read More]

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, GO!!! At midnight, on July 3rd, over nine hundred
runners started off on a midnight fourth of July run in Seattle. Among
the runners were my uncle and I. As I stood in the crowd waiting to
start, I saw runners of all ages. From nine-year-olds to 85-year-olds,
all of us were crazy enough to be standing in Seattle at midnight in
short shorts and tank tops. It go me thinking. Here we were, all humans
of different ages, gathering around to run.
Now, this is nowhere near my first of this kind of run and the more I
thought about it, the more I realized that very often multiple
generations come together at sporting events.[ Read More]

Dear Dad,
I wanted to share this song, “ Before You Go”,
with you today. It says what I have never been able to communicate
fully…THANK YOU for my life and all that I cherish, value and hold
dear. As you and many of your generation know all too well, many of my
generation and those younger than us don't necessarily understand or
agree with your views. But I wanted you to know we all acknowledge and
appreciate the gifts you have given us.[ Read More]

Over
the years, I have seen and recognized the enormous effect of the CEO’s
personality and ‘way of being’ on the energy of a company. All
personalities have limitations and drawbacks. But when somebody has the
top position in a system, the effect of what they focus on and what
they suppress is immense. Whatever a CEO’s automatic way of relating to
the world, whatever their way of dealing with relationships, or with
conflict, or with results and measurement, or with finances or
thinking, gets reflected throughout the organization. Too many CEOs
only allow real creative thinking in the areas that interest them and
simply avoid those areas that appear more threatening. Now this is
human nature, and it’s to be expected. But if CEOs could begin to see
the world in energetic terms, they would see the suppressive affect of
some of their behavior on the energy of their company and people’s
power to execute the very things they most want implemented. [ Read More]
