Sunday Mālama: We Learn Best From Other People

January 6, 2019

“We learn best from other people” is one of my favorite Managing With Aloha-inspired phrases. I am quite sure those who know me best would say it has “broken record” status in the coaching I like to share, however I also say it as an affirmation for my own continuous attentions: I want my learning […]

Giving Meetings: From “Have to” to “Get to”

February 17, 2017

Meetings. We love ’em and we hate ’em. Me too. I love ’em when I can give them. I usually hate ’em when I have to attend them. Upon hearing that I love running meetings, managers will usually tell me something like, “That’s because you’re a teacher and coach Rosa. Having to hold meetings all […]

Decisions in Waiting

February 4, 2015

I was listening to an old CD while driving to deliver a workshop, one of my favorites: Seth Godin’s Survival is Not Enough (Amazon.com link). This time listening, what Godin said about decision-making stuck with me: I may have missed transcribing a word or three or four … but this is the gist of it: […]

Sunday Mālama: Dads are Forever

December 6, 2014

Yes, I know that the first Sunday this December is actually the 7th (and that it may not even be Sunday yet as you read this). Call it my editorial privilege if you like, for I want to honor my dad with this Sunday Mālama. Were he still gracing this earth, my father would have […]
