If you are newly joining us, I suggest you start here: ‘Ohana x2 and the 10 Tenets of an ‘Ohana in Business. “I ask you to compensate people well, and consider those people your partners.” —The Alaka‘i Benefactor: Sharing in the ‘Ohana in Business In this […]

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. Sadly, we may have the most unpopular candidates ever running for the office of President of the United States in Hillary Clinton […]

It’s Time We Stop Withdrawing, and Get Involved Beyond Protest

July 17, 2016

To withdraw, is easy. Too easy. In last week’s newsletter, I mentioned that I have a tendency to opt out of social and broadcast media when the current news of the day turns particularly tragic and explosive in human casualty and anger-filled emotion.

April 24, 2016

Productivity, habits, and hacking— oh my! Today’s Sunday Mālama came from talking story with an Alaka‘i Manager who had followed my writing during I time when I was deeply into productivity hacking. It can get to be quite an addiction! This manager had also participated in a pilot project I led for the Ho‘ohana Community, […]

Issues, Actions, Opinion, and Self-Managing with Aloha

April 29, 2015

I tend to stay away from commenting on highly contentious, emotionally charged ‘news’ issues, for I’m fully aware that noisy opinions can make me way too reactive, and less reasonable as well. What we hear on broadcast television and/or social media is often skewed for ratings and sensationalism, whether founded in extreme personal experiences (albeit […]
