We cannot deny that making connections has become somewhat easier since the invention of the internet! What seems to have become more difficult is making real, human connections. That is why I recorded this Podcast, as a reminder that at every given opportunity, we can choose to communicate with the other. The riches of life and exchange are still available to each one of us, should you choose to complete the mission!
It's black history month. Last year I went to visit the George Floyd Memorial in south Minneapolis, a moving experience. I met a wonderful human named Dr. Remi Douah who is doing some incredible work from the memorial. Inspired by his son, he set up www.846S.org (Donate for Mental Health Sessions of Youth | 846s.org) an association supporting black mental health issues and doing some amazing work in the community! (Check out the link above). In this interview Dr.Douah explains the work he does and how it all came about, and how he continues to help people on a daily basis, from his humble stand underneath a tree. I would like to share with you some coverage from KARE11 & PBS about our work at 846s.org. Youth-led organization works to get south Minneapolis access to mental health help https://www.kare11.com/amp/article/news/health/mental-health/mind-matters/846s-minneapolis-youth-mental-health-mind-matters/89-d5cb4bce-9704-434c-8a7b-66c68cf901fd?__twitter_impression=true https://unpackthat.us/ Race Matters: America After George Floyd | A PBS NewsHour Special https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6twRs69gk4&ab_channel=PBSNewsHour Black youth-led podcast https://www.facebook.com/2keepitabuck
When is the last moment you took to switch off and check in with your beautiful body?

Have you ever you found yourself at a fork in the road? It may appear that success is on one road, and a difficult road on the other side. Guess which one us humans often we choose by default! The comfy one, which does not include risk is usually the one we, as humans (full of self-doubt) choose- and could be seen as the negative route! This can then become a cycle of doubt, other people doubt us, we doubt ourselves, and so it goes on. How about ‘faking it until we make it?' I've used this option along my life's journey and had amazing results. Listen in and hear how this attitude can really make a difference to your life and how you can apply it too!
Using questions in the negative may be a great way for you to get exactly what you want, at home and in your professional life!
“You're only as good as your day off! What happens in the workplace when a leader is absent? Does your ship sail when you are not around? Listen to how my experiences from years ago, still serve me today.”
For me one of the aspects of being human that meant the most for me in my life so far (aside from being a parent, father, companion, son, friend) is being with myself -- it's been to accept my imperfections. As you see in the photo of KinTsugi art which is Japanese for golden joinery. Kin means “golden”and Tsugi means rejoining and it's the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. The metaphor for me is seeing our imperfections and aspects of ourselves as something beautiful, original and unique, rather than hiding them and trying to be perfect. When I discovered this delightful philosophy, it struck a chord in me.
Robert Kahn and Thumoe Aung met many moons ago. Here they take a deep dive into how change affects us and what to do to handle it!
A logbook is what ships use to track data progress: course, wind speed, temperature… you name it. A captain and his team usually make their entries every night. So, if you want to look at a voyage you read the logbook. As a leader, if you don't have a factual logbook system, it may fall back upon you at some point.
This 4-part series comes from an interview I had the honor of conducting with a lady named Annie Johnson, born in Granada, Mississippi 1949. Growing up she was a sharecropper's daughter and here she tells me what happened back in the day. Annie's strength and judgement of what was right and wrong struck me, and with Annie's consent, I'm thrilled that the world will hear these stories today. Listen as Annie generously shares memories from her childhood back in the late 50's, early 60's, the struggles she and her family overcame to survive, and how Annie asks the question 'When DID slavery end?' These stories have never been heard before now.
Told for the first time in over 70 years. Annie was a sharecropper's daughter, picking cotton as a young lady in the South. She shares the shocking experiences she lived through in her youth. This is an extraordinary insight into life back when slavery ended, and sharecropping started. (All pictures are stock pictures similar to Annie's memory. None are originals from Annie's youth).

Winston Churchill said the following “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” In the late 1980's I had a job in the Minnesota State Senate working for a senator whose name was Allan Spear. He was chair of the Judiciary Committee and later went on to become president of the Senate. I was a lowly legislative assistant and a legislative page in the Senate, so I was able to watch a very small portion of the United States democracy function. I have a couple pictures from my archives which remind me of that time and the importance of the transition in the United States right now. The metaphor I think of is that democracy is like a garden, it doesn't just become beautiful on its own, and requires pruning yard work, getting rid of weeds, watering, nurturing, planting transplanting... Even though Winston Churchill said democracy is the worst form of government except for all others, I can't think of a better one! Let's all give support to all forms of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, health, wellbeing, and healing.

As humans, we make up stories, especially when we are faced with challenges, problems, contradiction, or in any situation for that matter! If we practice empathy and compassion and choose to assume positive intent, the outcome of many situations may be affected in a positive manner, rather than allowing anger and frustration take the driving seat. Listen to how I assume positive intent and have been on the receiving end of this simple and effective technique!

Whether working at the office, or from home these days - the benefit of the ‘hard' or ‘soft' stops is that they keep you in the driver's seat of your time, your day and your activities. Being clear from the offset with your colleague or boss will enable you to leave at exactly the moment you need to, without offending anyone. Here's my take on how you should present a hard or soft stop.
