What about your adventure?

December 31, 2014 by Steve Laswell

Cody Townsend took his passion to the next level – a new level. Watch as he straight-lines a vertical chute deep in Alaska’s Tordrillos Mountain Range at about 60 miles per hour.

Cody made that run for a new film, “Days of My Youth.” The movie offers “a unique glimpse into the journey of self-discovery that every skier experiences.”

What will you discover?

Today, an adventure awaits you….

Where do you need peace?

December 24, 2014 by Steve Laswell

Sy Miller and Jill Jackson were a husband and wife songwriting team. They dreamed of peace and how each person has a responsibility in creating it. As the story goes…

They first introduced (their) song to a group of teenagers selected from their high schools to attend a weeklong retreat in California. The young people were purposefully from different religious, racial, cultural and economic backgrounds, brought…

Creating Space Doesn’t Just Improve Performance at Work…

September 18, 2014 by Steve Laswell

 

Like kids anticipating summer break we arrived in Southern California. A full week away from work, Rita and I were ready for vacation.

We had hope and romantic visions of strolling hand in hand on sandy beaches. To be refreshed as we listened to the soothing music of breaking waves and entertained by the locals – sea gulls and other ocean side residents. Hope that we would receive…

Looking outside

To explore the world outside you requires a change of pace and perspective; yes, an open heart and mind.

So, how curious are you about what lies outside you? What about the people you work with, curious about their weekend? What about the work you do, wonder how to be more effective?

What might you be missing?

What inspires and recharges your batteries? Now, how often do you engage in…

Do you work in Stuckville?

February 6, 2014 by Steve Laswell

 

The room turned frigid as your team members haul personal conflict and stress to Thursday morning’s meeting. They grab a seat around an intimidating conference table. Body language and seat selection shout: “This is war.”

“Old timers” sit on the north side facing the “new blood.” Battle lines get drawn in the freezing winter-mix of sleet and snow. New blood brings outside news and ideas. …

Where will you breakthrough?

January 9, 2014 by Steve Laswell

It’s a serious conversation. The weight of the words uttered behind the merry-go-round demand strong proof regarding the speaker’s sincerity, integrity, and commitment. Standing tall, the fourth grader summons her courage, “Cross my heart and hope to die.”

The promise

Promises matter.

A promise deals in potential, possibilities, and something significant: what you hope for in the future. Starting this New Year, you believe advancement is…
