Talking Story with Say Leadership Coaching:... →
Are you running out of topics to talk about in your workplace huddles?
That will never happen to you if you cultivate the RTTS Habit:
Read something
Trigger new thoughts (question what you just read)
Talk-Story about it (with someone, or with your team)
Here are some articles well worth that first step - Reading. They are culled from the best of web-based links I have read over the past...
Joyful Jubilant Learning: Let us JJL-Love you →
Aloha JJLers,
I noticed something about our theme this month (Love is All You Need). A thought kept popping up in several comment conversations that was phrased in different ways, yet consistently wondered if, “…perhaps I need to tell/show people I love them more often than I do.”
It got me thinking about how we could learn to love you better as our Ho‘ohana Community readers and sounding...

A short excerpt from Managing with Aloha if I may (to start), for I think it introduces today’s posting quite well. Today I offer a follow-up to what I posted here two days ago. Let’s drill deeper into this concept of personal branding for Alaka‘i managers and leaders…

Did you just get laid off? This may be your lucky day, one of perspective capture like no other.
No, I’m not being cheeky and sarcastic. This is a time when it is much too easy for us to get stalled on the negatives we hear, and I’ve been challenging myself to be a half-fuller, consistently focused on seeing what’s still in the glass as opposed to what’s spilt out. Losing one’s job can be a big...

Imagine joy in flight: Quite a picture, isn’t it? Seems entirely reasonable to me that ‘loveliness’ is another word for beautiful, and for something you ‘see’ with your heart.

Hmmm… may need to add this quote to the cover page of all the workshop handouts I do… with a plate of saltines for our break snacks…

From the Say “Alaka‘i” mailbox:
Went to a luncheon meeting for my industry’s local association chapter, and the guest speaker kept referring to “Hawai‘i’s triple bottom line” but without ever defining it for us. Turned out to be one of those situations where nobody wanted to ask the question and appear to be the clueless one. Do you know what he was referring to?
I am not familiar with the...

Do you know what my biggest fear is? I don’t want to get boring.
Luckily, I have found something that keeps me from falling into that abyss littered with auto-pilot, apathy, complacency and mediocrity, so I never, ever give in to even the beginnings of the boredom which would surely make me boring too: That lucky charm is reading…

You’ve heard that saying, haven’t you? The one that goes, “it’s the squeaky wheel which gets the grease.” It can be said in a not-too-favorable manner, when we refer to others who are whiners and complainers, or those who are the loud and verbal ones, always seeming to crave more attention than what normally is thought of as reasonable to the rest of us.
How about if we get squeaking to be a...
