Living the Symbolic Life

One consistent way to improve your leadership is to find symbolic meaning in areas of your life where you might not be looking. Take something that’s happening to you, make an abstract summary of it, and see where else the metaphor applies in your life.


Even if You’re Wrong, You’re Right

Fortune - argument, by ImNotQuiteJack

Everyone lives from their own perspective. Everyone likes to be right. These are both facts about human nature.

Three Aspects to Confidence

Bogart - How to Relax

What makes someone confident? What do you see in someone when they seem confident? We all want confidence, but until we can articulate what it means to us, there’s no path to getting it.

Ultimately, confidence is the feeling that we believe in ourselves enough to be authentic.


Speak Your Truth or Lie

We all know that physical feeling we get when we hold back on speaking our
truth. Some situation calls us forth, stirs within us a desire to speak. And
something else blocks it. Below are three simple ways to create an environment
where speaking your truth is more comfortable. Hopefully more comfortable than
tolerating that pit in your stomach.

My work ranges from a highly strategic business focus to a highly personal, integrative, spiritual focus. Twice a year my mentor and I host a retreat called The Inner Journey which falls on the latter end of that spectrum, teaching about and offering time for finding the connection between spirituality and psychology.
