Each New Year a Gift

December 30, 2016

“Let us welcome the new year full of things that have never been.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke, via “thin places” At this time last year, I wrote: As I write this, we’re about to turn another yearly page in our lives, the true goodness of Ka lā hiki ola in all its glory: Hope and […]

The Ethos of Elections2016: Vote Your Values, or Vote Your Party?

September 21, 2016

As someone who coaches value alignment for a living, upholding the Managing with Aloha Ethos, “Be true to your values” I was fascinated by an interview I saw on television the other night.

December 1, 2014

December 1st, Dawning Remember this goodness all month long: Keep your firsts going with Ka lā hiki ola, the value of hope and promise. Ka lā hiki ola translates to “the dawning of a new day.” That does NOT mean it only applies to your mornings. You can regroup, or newly “Begin with the End […]

Winter Readiness for Alaka‘i Managers

November 30, 2014

On this, our Sunday Mālama for the final day of November 2014, let’s nalu from our feasting ‘thanks’ to the ‘giving.’ This is a post to include in the manager’s self-coaching toolkit, a bring-back from last year, for I’d heard from several managers that this emphasis on readiness had helped them.
