Hit that gas in 2023

While everyone else is hammering on goals for the new year I felt the urge to take a moment of reflection in this last week of the year.  Don’t worry – I know the quote about the reverse mirror. “You do not move ahead by constantly looking in a rear view mirror. The past is […]

Happy Dopamine-Day

Thanksgiving is a powerful thing. Not the holiday. Well, that too. I like the holiday. It’s nice. Probably our favourite ‘adopted’ holiday of the year. But thanksgiving, gratefulness, gratitude… It’s powerful! When we practice thanksgiving or gratefulness we activate a part of the brain that is associated with cognitive and emotional processes and it releases […]

Brain Games

Card tricks to kickstart ‘renewal of the mind.’ Who would have thought? Almost every day of this week we started our training sessions with what I like to call ‘brain games.’ Optical illusions, a bit of ‘mind reading,’ card tricks, even – lots of ways to make ourselves question if what we think we know […]

Rare Leadership – Part 3 of 3

“Let’s just be friends!” No, it’s not our anniversary, and no, those aren’t words I was told by anyone personally – at least not recently. Why the wedding cake?

Am I handing her the cup or is she handing it to me? Am I raising a daughter or is she raising me? There’s days for teenage daughters that I’m sure it feels more like the latter. “13 doesn’t really feel that old, but 14 does sound kinda old and 13 is only one year […]

When you have kids with ages ranging between 15 and 6 it can be nearly impossible to pick a movie that everyone likes. Let’s forget about what the parents like for a second. The other day we watched Tomorrowland. Although the kids weren’t overly excited about it there was one quote that stuck with me […]

Transitions

Happy New Year! The unavoidable question would be, ‘what are your dreams, goals, targets for the new year?’ You can read those questions on all the other leadership and personal development websites and magazines. My question for you right now is, ‘how do you deal with transitions?’ I remember the first time I heard someone […]

‘The Other Rome’

Roma 22

Just got back from a quick trip to Rome the other day. If you’ve ever been to Rome I’m sure you have enjoyed seeing the epic sights like the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain or Vatican City. This time it was a short trip with some meetings right behind Tiburtina Station, one of […]

In our family we have a tradition to celebrate the victories – big or small. This website has been in the making for a while. Not just online, but mostly in my own personal dreams and aspirations. I believe it’s going to be an inspiration to many and for whoever is reading this right now: […]
