Who's helping to hold you up?
https://wix.to/YxICuC1

Support There is a story in the Hebrew tradition that has two tribes fighting against each other. In the scene, the Hebrew people are being led by Moses who is standing on a hill overlooking the battlefield. As long as Moses is holding up his staff over his head the Hebrews have the advantage in the battle....

Story

How much of an impact does a Story really make?
https://wix.to/0JS5vJ7

Story Sitting with me around the large rectangle of tables (with a few extras added on zoom) was a collaborative team of about 25 people. This group oversaw one section of work under a very large organization. Spread out around the room was "the leader," the second in charge, 4 team leaders, and all of th...

Can a simple Pause make that much impact?
https://wix.to/c1KMtfz

Pause I wanted to share an idea with you this week that I've been thinking about for some time. I may have hinted at it in other messages in the past, but I don't think I've written about it as a central focus before. It's simply the idea of how powerful a well-timed Pause can be in our lives.You may have...

https://wix.to/CXVohlD

Community I recently attended two different gatherings of leaders where the idea of Community was talked about in ways that made me think. In one setting, Community was described primarily as a way to help people and businesses produce more. It was seen as a tool for helping to advance greater acquisition of....

They were talking specifically about how they have tried to be a good teammate to others in their organization, and how they think that has helped them to build Relational Equity with their coworkers....

Bravery

Have you witnessed it recently?
https://wix.to/ZZFOJ0R

Bravery I've been thinking this morning about some acts of Bravery I have witnessed in the past week. A couple of them I was able to be present for in person, and a couple of them I received through another person's first-hand experience who shared the stories with me. Some of the settings were similar, but...

Our Part

How do we take responsibility for Our Part?
https://wix.to/GOD5Tvi

Our Part I was chatting with a colleague who is a recipient of my weekly email about last week's message on Better Conversations. One of the things they pointed out to me was that engaging in these conversations would actually require both parties to agree to the Grounding Virtues. They helped me realize tha...

Could we actually have them in our world?!
https://wix.to/rweAXKL

Better Conversations I am currently in Oklahoma City for some meetings and had the chance to do a little exploring in the city yesterday, which included visiting the site and museum of the Oklahoma City bombing incident from 1995. Part of that community's recovery process from that tragedy was to learn from what went wr...

It feels like there is just so much happening in the world that is unpredictable, coupled with non-stop change, it kind of makes my head spin!What's the price of gas this week? Where's th...
