past color events
Our past is not, as some fear, a series of events carved in stone that we must carry around for the rest of our lives... but a kaleidoscope of experiences that, when viewed through different lenses, can 'color' (change) how we see our present and future.
belief validity willingness
The true measure of our belief in the validity of our values is our willingness to act upon them.
past causes helping
Remembering the past should help you create a purposeful future, not cause you to be afraid of it.
acceptance validation needed
Family is the place where acceptance and validation are most needed, but often the hardest to find.
able way influence
To influence others to change, you must be able to frame that change in terms of the future, and in a way that has value to all concerned.
revenge important resentment
Images of resentment and revenge only have us spending the precious moments of our lives imagining the 'other' as both dangerous and important!
organization leader training
Leaders should interact with everyone in their organization as if the interaction is being recorded and will be used as a training film on how to treat colleagues, coworkers, and customers.
successful form feels
The most successful form of correction is when the "other" feels informed versus chastised.
influence knows
To influence others, we must know what is influencing them... and they must know that we get it.
happiness-and-success enough sabotage
Nothing will sabotage our happiness and success more thoroughly than the fear that we are not enough.
dementia
Let's not let our fear of dementia deepen our fear of dementia.
want permission our-lives
Freedom isn't about having permission to do whatever we want... it's about having the courage to do whatever fills our life with meaning.
wise forever action
A process for discernment: God is my ultimate source of truth and wisdom, and dwells forever at the center of my being. Therefore, any thought, emotion, or action that takes me further from my center can be neither truthful, nor wise.
team organization diversity
Diversity, or the state of being different, isn't the same as inclusion. One is a description of what is, while the other describes a style of interaction essential to effective teams and organizations.
