Robert Kahn and Thumoe Aung met many moons ago. Here they take a deep dive into how change affects us and what to do to handle it!

Change and Transition with Thumoe Aung

For me one of the aspects of being human that meant the most for me in my life so far (aside from being a parent, father, companion, son, friend) is being with myself -- it's been to accept my imperfections.
As you see in the photo of KinTsugi art which is Japanese for golden joinery. Kin means “golden”and Tsugi means rejoining and it’s the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. The metaphor for me is seeing our imperfections and aspects of ourselves as something beautiful, original and unique, rather than hiding them and trying to be perfect. When I discovered this delightful philosophy, it struck a chord in me.

The Perfectly Imperfect Me

“You’re only as good as your day off! What happens in the workplace when a leader is absent?
Does your ship sail when you are not around?  Listen to how my experiences from years ago, still serve me today.”

You’re only as good as your day off!

Using questions in the negative may be a great way for you to get exactly what you want, at home and in your professional life!

The Affirmative Use of NOT!

Have you ever you found yourself at a fork in the road? It may appear that success is on one road, and a difficult road on the other side. Guess which one us humans often we choose by default! The comfy one, which does not include risk is usually the one we, as humans (full of self-doubt) choose- and could be seen as the negative route!  This can then become a cycle of doubt, other people doubt us, we doubt ourselves, and so it goes on.
How about ‘faking it until we make it?’ I’ve used this option along my life’s journey and had amazing results. Listen in and hear how this attitude can really make a difference to your life and how you can apply it too!

Act as if !

When is the last moment you took to switch off and check in with your beautiful body?
Set some time aside for you, get comfy and give your mind and body a reboot with my body scan meditation.
“Through practising body scan awareness meditation, we can greatly reduce the detrimental effects of stress and make our working lives pleasant and enjoyable.”
Christopher Dines, Mindfulness Burnout Prevention

The Body Scan

It’s black history month.
Last year I went to visit the George Floyd Memorial in south Minneapolis, a moving experience.
I met a wonderful human named Dr. Remi Douah who is doing some incredible work from the memorial. Inspired by his son, he set up www.846S.org (Donate for Mental Health Sessions of Youth | 846s.org) an association supporting black mental health issues and doing some amazing work in the community!
(Check out the link above).
In this interview Dr.Douah explains the work he does and how it all came about, and how he continues to help people on a daily basis, from his humble stand underneath a tree.
I would like to share with you some coverage from
KARE11 & PBS about our work at 846s.org.

We cannot deny that making connections has become somewhat easier since the invention of the internet! What seems to have become more difficult is making real, human connections. That is why I recorded this Podcast, as a reminder that at every given opportunity, we can choose to communicate with the other. The riches of life and exchange are still available to each one of us, should you choose to complete the mission!

Every day should be Kindness Day because small acts of kindness have the power to transform lives. Kindness builds trust, strengthens connections, and fosters emotional well-being. A kind word or gesture can ripple outward, creating a more compassionate world. When we choose kindness daily, we inspire hope, healing, and humanity.

Kindness and it's power

World Ice Skating Day is a global celebration of the joy and creativity that skating brings to people of all ages and skill levels. It’s about uniting communities on the ice and encouraging everyone to give skating a try. Just like leadership, skating is about finding balance, making strides, and sometimes falling before you rise again. I delve into how skating mirrors the journey of leadership and personal growth. Enjoy!

International Women's Day: The women who influenced my life!

Whether working at the office, or from home these days - the benefit of the ‘hard’ or ‘soft’ stops is that they keep you in the driver’s seat of your time, your day and your activities. Being clear from the offset with your colleague or boss will enable you to leave at exactly the moment you need to, without offending anyone. Here’s my take on how you should present a hard or soft stop.

“When it rains it pours. Maybe the art of life is to convert tough times to great experiences: we can choose to hate the rain or dance in it.”
― Joan Marques
 
When it rains it pours, you may have heard this phrase.  R.A.I.N. is an approach to greater personal resolution and resources.
Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture and Non-identification.  R.A.I.N. which is an acronym to initiate 4 distinct processes created by the wonderful Tara Brach

A logbook is what ships use to track data progress: course, wind speed, temperature… you name it. A captain and his team usually make their entries every night. So, if you want to look at a voyage you read the logbook.  As a leader, if you don’t have a factual logbook system, it may fall back upon you at some point.

Logbooks for your talent!
