Hō‘imi to Curate Your Life’s Experience

September 24, 2020

From my email: “Rosa, is Hō‘imi a value you created? I’ve been trying to do more research on it, and can’t find anything more than what can be traced back to you and your writing.” The short answer, is yes, as far as I know, and am aware of —so if you find anything more, […]

Looking back to Hō‘imi Forward

December 26, 2018

A year-end Exercise in Positive Expectancy Hō‘imi is another Hawaiian value, one that blends parts of Managing with Aloha’s ‘Imi ola (create your best possible life) and Ka lā hiki ola (hope, promise, and optimism), with generous helpings of Nānā i ke kumu (look to your source, particularly with Sense of Place).

On Intention: Don’t “shut up”—Sound off

December 5, 2016

Unchecked boxes Derek Sivers, a thought leader I admire, is often quoted with this advice to “Zip it!”: “Shut up!

Tomorrow will be Stephen’s Day There is an annual ritual I observe each November 28th, the birthday of someone now in heaven who was exceptionally special to me.

Better Person, Better Manager, Better Leader. Alaka‘i Batch 24.

April 14, 2016

Actually, there are two batches, 12 each, and self-coaching has never been easier. Taken separately, we’ve called them The 12 Rules of Self-Management, and The 12 Rules of Self-Leadership, and they came back to mind for me after this: Good person first, good manager as a consequence. We self-manage our own behavior first, and manage […]
