The Thrill of Work

March 3, 2021

Preface: We’ve been “sheltering in place” for most of the past year, due to the Covid19 pandemic. The layoffs and business shutdowns which affected so many hit home for our family in mid March, 2020. My husband headed back to work this week, albeit a temporary, no idea for how long kind of work schedule. […]

MWA Best Practice: Homework for the Workplace

September 11, 2019

Preface: I’ve asked the Ho‘ohana Community to share their best practices with me, as we tackle our Ho‘omau Kākou initiative on the 9 Key Concepts, and thanks to a project within my current work within Say Leadership Coaching I’ve been inspired recently to share one of my own with you: Assigning Homework. Labor Day has […]

To Read, and to Love Reading again

April 4, 2019

To read, and to love reading again, is to ‘master our circumstances.’ It is 11:11am Thursday morning, a time when most of the workplace weary are dutifully at work. I, in contrast, and in the blessed good fortune of the self-employed, have just finished reading a 462-page of masterfully crafted fiction, having purposely setting aside […]

January 25, 2019

In studying leaders and the values which drive them, I’ve found that there is a striking difference between founder owners, and most business executives: In short, it’s the passion and purpose which drives them—it’s their Ho‘ohana, their intention connection to worthwhile work. With a founder owner, what drives them stems from a very clear WHY, […]

Sunday Mālama: Are your projects and your ideas in sync?

January 20, 2019

Sense of Place: It’s January, the month of resolutions, goal-setting, and life’s way finding. In a recent newsletter, I shared this with the Ho‘ohana Community; Two Choices: The Change I Choose. If there’s anything I’ve learned from my own experiences with making New Year’s resolutions, it’s this: a) Make as few of them as possible, […]

Alonui

January 1, 2019

“Wherever you are, make sure you’re there.” — Dan Sullivan What are the good habits which empower you, and make you feel stronger? One of my Hō‘imi reflections was this: After a ten-year investment ‘dabbling’ in social media, I realized it didn’t qualify for me as a ‘good habit.’ Not Flickr or Instagram, not Twitter […]

Labor Day Aloha

September 3, 2018

Celebrate work today! For the longest time I considered Labor Day nothing but an extra holiday. I wasn’t aware of the true history behind this American holiday, and I wasn’t curious about it either. Growing up in Hawai‘i meant it was an extra beach day (no school!) and a really ono barbecue grinds picnic day. […]
