Video Review: Tina Roth Eisenberg “Trust Breeds Magic”

May 6, 2016

I promised myself I would watch more videos that are of the TED Talks variety — storytelling ones which are more biographical in nature, and about small ideas which became big deals for people. One thing I’ve come to know is this: Seemingly small ideas are usually personal values looking for some way to help […]

Hau‘oli Makahiki Hou Kākou — Happy New Year my friends! There are many who choose a word, or a phrase, or a theme to succinctly describe their prediction or personal persuasion for the year to come. Well, if you’ve spent any time reading what I write, you know this about me: Try as I might, […]

1-Catch the Good, 2-Tell Them!

June 5, 2013

So this happened; I’m touring a workplace right before a coaching session with an executive team, and the manager showing me around introduces me to someone he describes as “one of my lead people, a star.” After a short conversation, and as we walk away, leaving his star behind us, the manager starts to tell […]

Collect stories. Dispel myths.

May 26, 2013

Preface: I wrote this a few years ago, while a contributing author on Lifehack.org, and a recent happening brought it back to mind for me. I, and the managers involved, were talking story about the ‘baggage’ people can carry around with them at work. Collect stories. Dispel myths. Every company has a storied past. Are […]

Fridays with the Alaka‘i Nalu

June 24, 2012

Preface:  The story which follows was originally shared on ManagingWithAloha.com within the first year my book was published, for this very special group of Hawaiian watermen and women had starred in a few of my chapter stories, and many readers had asked me to share more about them. My Fridays at the Hualalai Resort with […]
