According to researchers and psychologists, belonging or relatedness or connectedness is considered a human need for effective functioning. Yet, even with all this love and connection with our family and friends, because the human need for belonging is so strong, the moment we experience any form of rejection, even if it’s not from anyone close to us, it can cut as sharp as a knife. Because let's face it. Rejection sucks. In this podcast episode, we discuss four key ways to help us deal with rejection, when we're at its mercy. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know what you learned and if it was helpful in giving you a better perspective to process rejection when it strikes.

Have you ever gotten into a discussion with someone, only to have it escalate into something you weren’t expecting? Someone may be upset and yell at you for something that wasn’t warranted. Or worse, they could be completely irrational taking their frustrations out on you when you did nothing wrong. What can you do in cases like these? In my mind… Build a barrier.

We seem to have a preoccupation with happiness in our culture. We seek it, wish for it, want it for our children above all else and yet it’s one of the most seemingly elusive things in this life. But perhaps we have the wrong approach. What if happiness was not something to be pursued at all? What if happiness was a by-product of something else and if we pursued that thing, we would get the happiness we so desperately crave? In this podcast episode, we discuss happiness, the pursuit of it and the elusiveness of it. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know what you thought about the concepts I presented in this episode on happiness and how you plan to implement them in your life today!

It’s the first day of the second half of the year. We’re at the halfway mark for 2024. Where would you say you are with the goals or resolutions you made on January 1?

We’ve all heard about SMART goals. It’s the way most people have been taught to set and achieve their goals. This is the traditional approach for goal setting, but for me, it omits the reckless abandon of limitless goals.  It doesn’t leave room for your BHAG – your Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals. I’m all about being practical in some areas of life, but I just don’t think that our life goals should be too practical. If it is, then where’s the fun of dreaming? If you can accomplish everything by yourself, then you don’t need your supernatural overwhelmingly abundant God. In this podcast episode, we discuss a different way of setting goals, my own version of SMART goals. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know how you are applying these SMART Goals steps to achieve your BHAG goals. Also, go ahead and send along any issues or topics you'd like me to discuss in future episodes. You can reach me directly at [email protected] or at any of the social platforms listed below.

There's an old quote that goes soemthinglike this, “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” We all experience various events in life. We make choices that lead to consequences or outcomes that we may or may not like. Think about your life. Think about decisions you’ve made that resulted in a negative outcome. If you didn’t recognize what happened, took the time to explore what you could have done differently and acknowledged your role in it, then you probably didn’t learn much from it. In this podcast episode, we discuss the importance of learning from our personal histories so that we don't keep making the same mistakes over and over again. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know if you did a life audit on your past mistakes and what you learned that you'll use to make better decisions going forward.

Our lives are filled with joys, heartaches, fulfillment and sadness. We struggle at times and have moments of ease in other times.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you”? It is more significant than you know. When we're young, we think that it’s impressive to name-drop and let others know who we know as a measure of our significance. What we don’t realize when we’re younger, is that it doesn’t matter who we met, had coffee with or who we think we know. In this podcast episode, we discuss the importance of genuine connections, allowing your work to speak for itself and reaping the benefits of people talking behind your back (in a good way, of course). After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know how you plan to strengthen the relationships in your life so you can have true, lasting connections.

Sowing and reaping is a universal principle that exists in our world. Most people will not dispute that. When you sow a seed, it will grow into a plant or tree, which will have some kind of fruit on it that can be reaped and sowed again. And so, the process repeats itself. In this podcast episode, we discuss the principle of sowing and reaping and the three concepts you need to understand so you can take full advantage of its rewards. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know what you learned and the steps you plan to implement in your life in accordance with this principle.

At some point in our lives, possibly even multiple times, we may encounter some opportunity, some challenge or some fork in the road that presents us with something that’s too big for us. We may feel uncomfortable, out of place, self-conscious and quite likely a fair amount of fear. I’d like to suggest though, that we lean into these “too big for me” situations.

When we look at successful people, whether they be world leaders, pioneers, athletes, artists or even leaders in our field to whom we look up, we think that they've done such great things and we want to be just like them. We want to have careers and legacies like theirs but because we weren’t with them in the trenches we can only see their shining glory moments. We think that it “just happened” for them and in turn, we hold the expectation that it will one day “just happen” for us as well. But it didn't and it won't.

Have you ever gone through a period in your life where you can’t quite figure out what is going on? It’s as if the things that are happening to and around you don’t even make sense.

What is your X-factor? You know that thing about you that makes you special, different, unique. The thing about you that's not like anyone else on planet earth. It’s interesting, we spend so much time comparing ourselves to others, mimicking those we admire or even envy a tiny bit, not realizing what our own enviable attributes are. While others may have similar talents or characteristics as you do, no-one else has your life story. No-one else uses their gifts quite like you do. In this podcast episode, you'll learn what an "X-Factor" is and how to go about finding yours, if you don't already know what it is. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know how this episode has changed how you think about your own uniqueness and what you discovered about your own X-Factor.

This “job” of being a role model is not one to be taken lightly. The power that comes with the ability to influence the thoughts, words and actions of another human being is monumental. Like the saying goes, “with great power comes great responsibility.”  We cannot assume that because we didn’t ask to be a role model that that means we don’t still have a responsibility to be mindful of those whom we influence. In this podcast episode, we discuss the importance of our behavior on the impressional eyes watching us and the four characteristics we can implement to be a good role model. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know how this episode has changed how you think about this concept of being a role model, even if you never saw yourself in that light before.

I read somewhere that we're only born with the fear of two things, loud noises and falling. All the other fears we experience in life are psychological, meaning they're imagined fears. Many people think the opposite of fear is faith. It is not. In fact, fear and faith are both simply your belief about a thing. Faith is belief in something positive and good. And fear is the belief in something negative or bad.  In this podcast episode, we discuss the issue of fear in our lives and the single greatest tool you can use to radically eliminate fear from your life. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know in what areas of your life fear is holding you back and how you plan to use this mighty tool to squash it!

We learn from a very early age to expect that life is supposed to be fair. But life is anything but fair. So, how do we deal with things when we’re on the short end of the stick? When we feel as though we’ve been mistreated, misjudged or things didn’t go the way we believe they should have? In this podcast episode, we discuss the concept of fairness. Life isn't about what's fair as much as it's about what's just.

What do you want in life or from life? Do you know? It’s ok if you don’t right now, because it is a journey to finding out and you may still be on that part of your journey.  Once you identify your thing, your dream, then you have something that your desire can hold onto.

I've heard it said that comparison is the thief of joy. And I believe it.

When we start out in life, or when we're starting over, we have a vague idea of what we want to accomplish.  We might be unhappy with where we are or even with who we’ve become and we realize that this is not the life we want for ourselves and so, we set out to change it. The challenge, whether we’re just starting out or starting over, is that we don’t know what we don’t know.

Challenges can be fun! We all have different areas in which we want to grow, to improve, to come up a little higher and I think a challenge is one of the best ways to do this. Yes, a challenge is a mighty thing. But it will give you the reminder that you need that you can do hard things. That you don't have to succumb to the human nature and just go with the flow.  Remember when you go with the flow, the only place you end up is downstream.  In this podcast episode, we discuss the benefits of giving yourself a good challenge as a means to help you achieve a short term goal.

When the heat gets turned up and you find yourself in an adverse situation, do you react or respond? There’s a very important distinction between these two words. One, that if mastered, will save you much stress and worries, while increasing your peace and calm. A reaction is something instantaneous. It’s an immediate action taken after something happens, driven almost entirely by emotions. In this podcast episode, we discuss the difference between reacting and responding.  After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and what steps you plan to take to lean into responding instead of reacting, when the fire gets turned up!

The field of positive psychology has opened us up to a side of psychology, where we focus on our strengths rather than on what ails.

One of my favorite quotes is by Think and Grow Rich author, Napoleon Hill. It goes something like this, “Every adversity or failure or heartbreak carries the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” I love this quote so much because it’s all about attitude. When something happens that’s bad, unfortunate, sad or frustrating or really, anything that you perceive as being a negative situation, what is your response to it?  You can see it for what it appears to be on the surface, but if you would take a little time and let it simmer a bit, you just may find that seed that Napoleon Hill speaks of. In this podcast episode, we discuss adversity and our response to it. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to start looking for that seed of equal or great benefit, the next time adversity strikes!

As i've grown older, I've learned that I don’t have to respond to every rude person I encounter. People are going to be people. They have all sorts of things going on in their lives. Some of them are not as enlightened as we all hope to be and so maybe they are living off their emotions. When something happens that is beyond their ability to master, they are left at the mercy of their unregulated emotions. But I don’t have to play their game. I get to choose how, when and if I will respond to them and their antics. I get to determine how I show up in the world and sometimes that is a person who knows about restraint and is willing to be meek in a moment when righteous indignation is rearing its ugly head. In this podcast episode we discuss a little about regulating one's emotions and how sometimes, no response is necessary. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to start regulating your emotions such that they are not running or ruining your life.

There’s a credo in the service industry that goes like this: Under promise and over deliver. It’s ultimately a concept that helps to set an appropriate level of expectation and subsequently ensuring that that expectation is exceeded.  Expectation is an interesting phenomenon. Two people can experience the same event, each with a different expectation level and their perspectives will be drastically different. Why? Because the expectation about that event beforehand was different and so the perspective is different. In this podcast episode we discuss how to set your own expectations with your family and friends, on the job and with yourself. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to start setting appropriate expectation levels for yourself.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you”? It’s more significant than you know. You see, when we’re young, we think that it’s impressive to name-drop; to let others know who we know, as a measure of our significance. Name-dropping might impress your friends, but it won’t advance your career, or provide openings you could never create or strategically put you in places you could never get to on your own. In this podcast episode we discuss the importance of who knows you, rather than being impressed with who you know. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to start to let your actions, your work and your thoughtfulness speak volumes for you.

Bloom where you’re planted. Have you ever heard this phrase? It’s a pretty popular saying, basically to remind people that they can and should let their light shine wherever it is that they find themselves. That phrase is really about excellence, about using your gifts no matter where you are and about being the best you now, where you are, on your way to where you’re going. In this podcast episode we discuss why it's important to not despise the day of small beginnings and how you can enjoy the journey to your purpose, even if you don't like where you are right now. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to bloom in the place you're planted.

We intellectually know that we cannot be any younger than we are. In fact, each day that goes by makes us one day older. But many of us do things that help to give us a younger appearance, or if we're in our 40s-50s we may even do things to make us feel younger (read: mid-life crisis behaviors). None of these things truly work of course, but I wonder if perhaps we could try adding some other childlike behaviors that could be beneficial to us, to our physical, mental/emotional and even our spiritual health. In this podcast episode we discuss three simple things that children innately do, that if we incorporated them into our lives, we just might have less stress, more joy and a life more fulfilling than we ever thought possible. After listening, feel free to send me a note letting me know your thoughts about this episode and how you plan to adopt some of these simple childlike behaviors.
