Look up, Never down

February 18, 2019

Preface: This was a talk story which previously appeared in one of our community newsletters, (June, 2018) and I wanted to revisit it through the Alonui lens, our theme for 2019. Affective Presence Can you make others feel good simply by merit of your presence? You know you can—we have all had the experience of […]

“Keep Moving Uphill”

April 12, 2016

The mountain-climbing analogy is one we’re fond of in the Ho‘ohana Community — it all started with Kūlia i ka nu‘u, Chapter 5 in Managing with Aloha: Kūlia i ka nu‘u is the value of accomplishment and achievement.

August 24, 2012

… and a Weekend MWA Project for Alaka‘i Managers Humility, the value of HA‘AHA‘A, continues to be on my mind lately. It’s not one of those values that appear in my work when it’s dominant, but when it’s missing.
