Enhance your PMO – positive mental outlook!

From the great cop shows – everyone’s got an MO.  And, everyone’s got a PMO.  Positive Mental Outlook.  If you’re thinking this is another way to say, “is it ½ full or ½ empty” well, it’s that – AND more!  There has been a lot written about positive mental attitude and how it contributes to [...]

Eat Something Spicy!

Pass the jalapeno peppers.  Prefer something milder, go for a green pepper.  Or just add a pinch of regular pepper.  But try something a little spicy today.  Why? Because it’s going to make you sweat a bit.  Maybe you don’t have that reaction when you put a little too much spice on something. It’s the [...]

Play today.

Last post was about improv and innovation to improve the quality of life and take a couple steps closer to the Point of Passion. The POP is a state where Improv, Innovation and the concept of Play coincide and bounce together to create the type of life you – and I – desire.  A life [...]

Improv 2 Improve

I’ve been studying a great deal about Innovation as of late.  One of the core concepts I have taken from my research is that innovation requires implementation.  Or it’s just another idea floating around.  We have too many ideas just floating about – many generated by useless and unproductive meetings.  However, one of the concepts [...]

Take the time to Ponder.

There have been too many times that I have caught myself in a hurried frenzy only to forget actually what it is I was trying to accomplish.  My car seemed to be on auto-pilot and I completely lost track of where I was going and what I was doing. Have you been there?  How often [...]

I would suggest that you are already cheating some time by taking the time to read – and act upon – [...]

Acknowledge. Admit. Admire.

According to Daniel Pink, author of A Whole New Mind,  the culture of today is shifting from a very analytical (or L-directed) type of thinking towards a thinking steeped in relationship and synthesis (or R-directed).  To continues towards the Point of Passion, it’s important to shift your thinking to be more R-directed – or one [...]

Prepare Your Plan.

With any great vacation, one doesn’t just hop in the car and start driving – at least not once you’ve finished college, that’s called road-trip.  It wouldn’t make sense, not if your goal was to have a great vacation.  You don’t know where you’d be headed.  And for success to occur you have to start [...]

Trek towards another goal

After a really great conversation with the “Diva of Do!” – my friend Cathy Paper,  I am chomping at the bit to get this going again.  She’s one of the founders of the energy behind Live Dynamite. 
The quest I am on is to write my book.  And achieve another goal I set out to [...]
