Laughter as Stress Reliever

It is said that pre-verbal babies laugh 300 times per day … on average adults only 30. There is research to support that laughter is therapeutic, a healer. And, that laughter reduces stress. I’ve made a commitment to laugh more often daily … it is good for my health! How about you?

Competition or Collaboration

A Wall Street Journal article early this year spoke of the fact that at a female entrepreneur event, it seemed women were “being too cozy”. This opinion brought into focus the difference in the feminine vs. masculine approach to business. Collaboration is becoming a more viable way of doing business - THANKFULLY. Support advances efforts and generates abundance. Isn’t that what we really want? OR are there some out there who want to see others defeated? Who yearn for watching businesses fail and entrepreneurs not succeed?

In actuality, there is really ENOUGH for everyone and when we all use out gifts to their greatest good, we all succeed. As feminine energy influences our world in stronger ways, my hope is that we will see more “cozier” interactions … and not just at VC or networking events. Success for all is my dream!

Retirees Bench

A bench under the trees reminded an HR professional that though she worked with clients to plan and manage retirement, she wanted to let go of past ideas of retirees “sitting on benches” (the old way).

Since retirees are spending retirement time very differently than former generations, different ways of looking at planning and managing retirement is necessary. This revelation left her aglee with enthusiasm … her commitment to look at her work in a different way will undoubtedly positively support her clients.

Inspiration for Change

An attorney was inspired by the image of an old façade to implement practices that would stand the test of time while being open to new methods. He had been mired in belief that the “test of time” and “new methods” were mutually exclusive.

Coaching opened new awareness; the visual inspired a shift to a new understanding … the value in maintaining things that have value while incorporating “new” things that provide value.
