We never do truly understand the impact or effect that we have on others.  There are so many things that combine to affect our perspective and create an experience, including  our past, our beliefs, and our current situation.  Two people can pass through the exact same circumstances and have completely different experiences. Our actions create ripples across the universe.  The results of these ripples may be instantly visible, delayed, or completely unknown to us, yet they have an impact.  I remember writing a Facebook post on my wall a couple years...

  When I evaluate my life’s path, and realize that I’ve wandered ‘off course’, I realize that many times, it’s not because of some huge change, but because I’ve neglected a lot of little things.  I’ve compiled a quick list of items that I call Daily Habits, that help me immensely to maintain perspective, stay connected, and enjoy life.  Here they are: Daily Gratitude List– Simply put, I write down 5 things that I’m grateful for, usually from the previous day.  Sometimes it’s big things that have happened, but most of the...

Life is a precious gift, and how we choose to live it reflects how precious we value the gift of life and time. That’s not to say that to always be busy, filling our time, is the best use of time. In fact, just the opposite may be true. As an example, if you were to have a great meal, it would be much more enjoyable to be in the present, enjoy every bite, flavor, texture, scent, and taste of the food, instead of scarfing it down quickly. Many times...

  Competition is something that abounds in all aspects of life.  Whether it’s an athletic event, or a job interview, or a competitor in your industry, people and teams are constantly measured against another. Instead of looking at a competitive situation as a win/lose scenario, look at it as a teaching environment with an opportunity to improve yourself. Things to ask yourself in a competitive situation: What can I learn from the other person/team/business? (if ‘winning’)  Why am I winning?  Is it my skill, my luck, my connections?  What is my ‘competitive advantage’? Why is the...

I recently attended a meeting where we started the meeting by playing a game called “Remembering the Future.” The objective of the game was to think ahead one year into the future, and ask ourselves “We had an incredibly successful year in our organization. What were some of the highlights that we accomplished over the last year?” We had to make our statements with verbiage such as:   * “I remember when we……” * “I think we had our biggest impact when we….” * “I couldn’t believe the response we had when we….” * “I...

I recently got the pleasure of working with a new account in a space that was relatively new to me.  When we met with their executives to review the PR Proposal, to determine if we would be their agency of choice, their CEO expressed some hesitation in our not being able to really understand the space. I love a ‘vertical learning curve,’ so I took this as a personal challenge, as I have worked in many industries, and have quickly become a subject-matter expert in a new field. Here are some...

Monotony is defined as “Lack of variety and interest; tedious repetition and routine.” There are many things we do on a daily basis that become habit, and sometimes even monotonous. There are some things that we have to do that we don’t even like doing. In our work and home routines, some things just have to get done. Additionally, there are things that we really want to conquer in life, yet they also get old and tiring. According to Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers,” becoming an expert takes doing something 10,000 times....
