Think DiSC! How to Work with the S Style

THINK DiSC! ***How to work with the S style*** PROBLEM: Your teammate is such a warm and friendly soul, always the one to bring in cupcakes on someone's birthday or buy the retirement card for all to sign...fiercly loyal and willing to go the extra mile for the team...always. And, yesterday, she stormed out of the office in tears after you told her that were unexpectedly changing some things and needed her brief before Friday. WHA??? Why'd she respond so emotionally? You have no …

Think DiSC! How to Work with the i Style

THINK DiSC! ***How to work with the i style*** PROBLEM: What do you do when the newest hire to the team seems to be hard to corral, as he spends a lot of his day chatting it up, encouraging his teammates, and getting to know his officemates...?

My First Ambulance Ride

On Tuesday morning about 5AM, I took my first ambulance ride. Here's the set-up. Sunday night: arrive home from a 12 day trip to Alaska. Was amazing. I understand how small we humans are, how insignificant we are, among the natural world. Major perspective shifts in so many ways. Monday Morning Through MidDay: Work up with a sore back. Figured all of the schlepping of very heave luggage over the last 2 weeks might be the cause. Decided yoga might help. Did yoga. Didn't help. …

Failing Forward

SHOW YOUR WORK CHALLENGE DAY #23 Failing Forward. This is what it looks like (below). The following is the post I sent early this morning to some of my trusted advisors because there are lessons that others might gain from my experience and reflection on it. I was urged to share it publicly, so I'm doing that here. Posting for release (my own release that is). Last July, I started a journey with a company called Blanchard Coaching, out of San Diego. They are a …
