Glacier Day 398, work

Much better than a tent when you’re in Grizzly Bear country.

Why do people like you read my blogs (plural)?

Or anyone’s blog (singular) for that matter?

Maybe it’s because i share ideas, concepts, insights i didn’t know for a long time.

Or share critical things i knew but forgot about.

Or share something i never considered before.

Or that i take the time and effort to reframe an idea and share it in a different, creative, maybe compelling, perhaps even antagonistic way.

In middle school i started thinking bigger (as an adolescent) after finding unexpected success as a 400-meter (yes, it was 440 yards in 1972) “sprinter”.

Or, because i rethink or re-state a theme, or a timeless message, or an irrefutable truth, with one of three simple tools of my trade: questions, paradox, and common sense.

My self-coaching to become a wiser person – is a really wise thing to do.

It’s respectful.

It’s generous.

And i am grateful for my consistent desire to do it. (Could that be an invisible superpower?)

All of the above are definitely the main reasons i read my blogs.

Note: An obvious risk is this body of my life’s work since April Fools Day 2009 may go unread. Blogging began as book-writing practice. It later morphed into leaving a trail for our young son, who’s now in his 20’s.

The need to, work

Snapped this pic five years ago (2019) after returning from Kuwait.

The need to change is lifelong.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

i’ve changed because you haven’t.

You’re too busy to appreciate the extra inches with a reciprocal extra inch (aka as a thank you).

Note: This is me thinking about a client.

Glacier 2024 thoughts, work

Yellow Mickey Mouse, ears, origami figure
Our Teppen Edo hostess made this for me. The message says something about it being nice to meet me.

Adding to the post from two days ago that ended like this:

“My research also exposes that leaders aren’t leading, they’re managing. “Managers” do not create transformational, inspiring change by managing their way forward. Insight: Try picturing Martin Luther King saying, “I have a strategic plan.”

Here’s the thought’s closing:

To lead, you need a clear, concise, and compelling vision of the future. A future that’s not only better than now, but much better than now.
