The Price We Pay To Store “Old Stuff”
Just like self-storage units, our minds, hearts and bodies store experiences, thoughts and beliefs that have great value. These “possessions” have shaped our lives and made us who we are up to this moment. However, we also store experiences, thoughts and beliefs that no longer bring joy, value, or vitality to our lives.
Overwhelmed By Your Inbox?
Are you overwhelmed by your number of emails, yet you reflexively check your email every chance you get?

When skillfully done, human behavior can be changed through transformation, creating a safer worksite and world.
A New Leadership Approach
It goes without saying that the pandemic transformed the way we live, work, and learn. Organizational change was no longer a choice; it was a necessity. For companies to survive this shared human experience required creativity, innovation, agility, and resilience. But will it be sustainable? Can it be sustainable?
Walking the Dog
So often we get caught in the riptide that is our lives, our goals, our wants, and needs. It is understandable. It happens to us all. That is why it is even more important to take the time, to schedule the time for yourself. Time to slow down, to stop our machinations, and simply enjoy the moment.
I Couldn’t Do It
I couldn’t control and command this girl to get into a cold shower today.

This time she was stubborn in a new way.
