May 05, 2021 The Unique You
There has been a great deal of research on the subject of agency. Agency is all about having or activating the power to act independently and to make your own choices. Imagine living in a world where you could choose your destiny and you are empowered to act on that vision. I hear you out there. Yeah, Yolanda. That’s all pie in the sky. Is it? What prevents me from presenting the full expression of myself, my gifts and my talents in the pursuit of my dreams?

April 28, 2021 Just Do it.
It’s been said that people with great passion can make the impossible possible. If you’ve ever been on the sidelines watching a passionate person go to work, you can relate to that quote.
Many of our great leaders have charged their passion as the impetus for that new innovation. It is passion that has given us breath-taking performances from artisans. Passion has been at the root of incredible social change. But those are the big things. Passion for improving our health and well being can also be what drives us to better food choices. We see passion from parents who are driven by a strong desire to see their children excel. In short, passion can be a real catalyst in achieving your dreams.

April 21, 2021 World Travel on the Cheap (in 3 easy steps)
Full transparency. I was the kid who read the encyclopedia and the LIFE magazine series on the planet earth, and the one on reptiles, and the one on mammals, the whole thing. It fed my imagination and curiosity of exotic places outside of my community. It was those books that took me to far away places in my mind. Those books expanded my world view, introduced me to new cultures, and shaped my perspective of both modern and ancient civilization.
But that was all in my imagination. Some people explore the world more literally through vacations and pass-time. Some walk, hike, or cycle about the planet, some do luxury vacations, but others go for full-on relaxation. Whatever your pleasure most agree that escaping is a real anecdote to the blues and stresses of life. And once the madness of these times pass we’ll all be back on the road and vacationing. With that in mind I’d like to hear more about how to travel the world on a budget.

April 14, 2021 Habits. The sweet spot of better-ness
Okay. So we all agree that Stephen Covey was on to something when he taught us the value of the 7 habits of highly successful people. And there’s one thing I’ve learned is to lean in on the gurus. There’s one aspect of habit building that I’d like to focus in on today and that is how habits become the fuel to greatness or better-ness.

April 07, 2021 Innovate or Die. (Forward lookers win.)
I’m always amazed by those people who seem to have a crystal ball of sorts and can read the tea leaves to the economic and social changes that the rest of us ignore. You know who I mean. These are the folks who bought Sony and Disney in the early days. They somehow have a knack for knowing what will be the next big thing.

March 31, 2021 Resilience. DNA or Grit
Nature versus nurture. Does that apply to resiliency? I’ve watched some people carry exhausting burdens for long periods of time with grace. Then again, I’ve seen some hit the bottom and can’t seem to get up. Both good people. Well liked. Seemingly with all the tools and resources to bounce back. Yet they experience their life challenges differently. Why is that?
I’d like to take some time to challenge the notion that all you need is the ‘right attitude and a kick in the butt’ to overcome those life challenges. Really? I’m not sure that I buy that simplification of how to get through some of the deep waters of life. But I know just the right person to ask.

March 24, 2021 Be your Child's Best Advocate. They Depend on You.
The Six Pillars of self-esteem are living consciously, self-acceptance, self-responsibility, self-assertiveness, living purposefully, and personal integrity. But those attributes are near impossible to achieve if you do not feel safe and valued. Today I want to focus on how we support and advocate for our children, especially those who have unique needs. When you find yourself tussling with a huge chaotic institution like the education and health systems, how can you be the best voice on behalf of your child?

March 17, 2021 Unstoppable: Even in these times
In the time of COVID, unemployment, violence in the streets, political antics, and polarization how in the world are we supposed to stay focused on achieving our goals and dreams? So many distractions. In the midst of this turbulence we can’t throw our hands up and say, “I’ll pursue my dreams when the dust settles”. No. That feels like giving in to the unknown. But how do we remain myopic and driven while the world burning?

March 10, 2021 Fraternal Friendship. Living the Highest Order
Brotherhood. Camaraderie. Esprit de corps. These are terms that are used to describe the purpose and value of fraternal orders. Fraternal orders exist mostly to establish a community whereby men of all ages are able to create and nurture lifelong bonds, learn valuable life skills, and serve the broader community. The one value that I’d like to focus on today is LOYALTY and the role loyalty plays in lifelong relationships.

March 03, 2021 Mentoring. It Ain’t Easy, but it Pays in Spades
It’s been said that “mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.” The alliteration that I like to use in describing a mentor is a coach, counselor, cheerleader, and comforter. No matter how you cut it or slice it, I think we’ll all agree that mentoring is valuable to all involved. And it pays dividends. But it ain’t easy. It takes dedication, persistence, and a giving heart.
