Losing business never gets easier — writing about it helps

Losing Business Never Gets Easier — Writing About It Helps &Raquo; 1Myyu Bq3Bv3Rnhnxtroccq

Me looking wistful just after I receive a response about an outstanding proposal I love running a start-up; it ticks so many boxes for me such as: the massive improvements to my quality of life, the levels of variety it affords me, the uplift in my independence, the healthy challenge to build something from nothing, the impact my company has on others and more. However, it has lots of downsides: loneliness in the early days, the amount I am stretched day-to-day, the constant challenge of cashflow and never being certain where the money will come from, the decision overload that goes with having... Continue Reading

Laughter is the Anecdote to a Midlife Crisis

Laughter Is The Anecdote To A Midlife Crisis &Raquo; 1F609

I love to laugh. My problem is that I don’t create enough opportunities to laugh. I have a hunch I’m not alone in this conundrum. Intuitively I know that laughter is good for me. So, I dug into this to identify the health reasons that laughter is good for us in midlife. As you read about these health reasons, I’m sprinkling in humorous videos. Give yourself a break from whatever you’re in the middle of and enjoy a good laugh. Laughter is Medicine You’ve probably heard it said that laughter is the best medicine. It turns out this is not just a mere adage but a scientifically proven therapy... Continue Reading

Every relationship has a half-life; what are you doing to maintain yours?

Every Relationship Has A Half-Life; What Are You Doing To Maintain Yours? &Raquo; 1Sm

This is what you get when you ask BingChat to create an image of half life in relation to friendships Somehow I ended up spending over 12 hours of my Saturday writing emails. That’s longer than I spend working on most work days; so why did I do it? What were the emails about? They were emails to all my key clients, connections and former work colleagues giving them my yearly New Year’s greetings. I used to do it as a Christmas card but switched to a New Year message a few years back because I found myself too busy at Christmas and because the people receiving it were being inundated by other... Continue Reading

A New Holiday Story

A New Holiday Story &Raquo; Pauladtozer

It’s interesting to observe how the holiday season can make us feel more alone. For those of us who feel its bite instead of its embrace, the idea that we “should” be happy, prosperous, and share meals surrounded by friends and family feels like a fairy tale. Even when we do enjoy rewarding relationships, engage in our holiday rituals, and have the pleasure of the company of friends and family, many times, it’s a fairy tale as well because our friends complain or get too drunk or share too much personal information and our family is often more challenging than pleasurable…so we pretend.... Continue Reading

Oh, dear friends, it’s that wonderful time again. Christmas trees springing up, fireplaces crackling, mistletoe hanging, presents wrapped and a few too many relatives around the same table. Sure, you may be thinking – another crazy Christmas season. Last year, I was so wrapped up in the tinsel and trappings of the holiday season that I nearly lost sight of what it was all about – love, celebration, and a deep gratitude for the life we’ve been blessed with. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. This year, I’ve made a pledge to myself to keep the holiday spirit... Continue Reading

Eq Reflections: We All Set The Tone For The Conversations We Are About To Have; We Just Don’t… &Raquo; 1Ok Dpg5Gphgxiezthpleza

EQ reflections: We all set the tone for the conversations we are about to have; we just don’t necessarily realise it Today I wrote 2 birthday cards; both were blank inside so I could have written absolutely anything. What I wrote really influenced the conversation that followed and that’s the same in life Did you know that if you ask someone to name the 7 dwarves or the 7 deadly sins, apparently the order they list them in is linked to what’s on their mind and which of those traits they most currently associate with. So, if your respondent says “Sleepy” or “gluttony” for example... Continue Reading

Well, here we are again, my fellow food enthusiasts, in that glorious time of the year when we hide our scales and drown our worries in gravy and pie. It’s Thanksgiving, the stretchy-pants holiday, and boy, do we have a lot to be grateful for this year. Remember last Thanksgiving? We were all busy being thankful and avoiding being turkeys. This year, I’m brimming with gratitude and hope you are too.  One thing I’m intensely thankful for — the overall response to my book Leading with Significance and the efforts that so many of you have made to read and promote the book, write reviews... Continue Reading
