Last night’s Montessori School (Toddlers to 8th grade) Art Festival was inspiring. And isn’t that the way we frame up (heuristically?) our definition of art?
Paint, draw, sculpt, photograph, and so on.
Think about what you do for a living 20 to 80+ hours a week.
The good lie is the skeptic’s best friend because a lie worth telling is the supreme demonstration of love. Watched The Good Lie yesterday on an iPhone during the flight from Disneyland to Walt Disney World. An inspiring story of tragedy and hope.
Love and leadership have no place in the West’s dog-eat-dog business world.
That’s what we’ve come to believe.
Focus on business results. Increase shareholder value.
What if we’re wrong?
What if love is the ticket to organizational growth?

Perhaps the crowning achievement of leadership is being able to provide others with the same type of game changing opportunities that we were blessed with.
In the giving we receive.
Servant leadership.
Looks good on paper, but can we do it without thinking about it?
Workplace (and personal) culture is what we think and do, without thinking.
Being intentional is the most important characteristic determining whether your personal culture works for you or against you.
This may be hard to believe, but it doesn’t need to be.
The book, Mid life Celebration, has changed people’s lives. It’s short, pithy and can either be a tender loving hug, or a kick in the as$. Not too many humans that don’t need both. The first few pages are free on Amazon. Not trying to sell you a book.
It was written as a life guide for a little boy in case something bad ever happened to his dad. Can’t get more direct nor more lovingly authentic than that.
Intentionally left out the link to Amazon. You get why, right?
