Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #163 — Own Your Mess! I was at home on the stage. Playing a character wasn’t enough. I wanted to conjure them, I wanted to inhabit them, I wanted to bring them to life. And I was pretty good at it. The sad part was the “why” of it…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #162 — Perfect is the enemy of … happy! My first coach certification program included six supervision sessions where one of my coaching sessions was reviewed & critiqued by a Master Coach. My goal: get a “perfect score” as early (& often) as I could! For that 1st supervision,…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #161 — Learn, Break, Serve! I live a dichotomy … As a life-long learner and mastery-junky I am constantly diving in and always willing to dive deep. I’m even prone to over-YESing leading to some seriously overloaded stretches on my calendar (ask me about 2016!). I even chose to…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #160 — A Paradoxical Analogy. Jim Rohn suggested that one is the average of the five people with whom one spends the most time (I wonder how that applies during lockdown). I prefer a much older version of that idea … “The bird a nest, the spider a web,…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #159 — Go Deep … or Go Home! I spent a long time working on myself from the outside in. I didn’t do this consciously, mind you. My unwritten, unspoken (unreasonable) reasoning was that when it’s good on the outside, it’ll be good on the inside. “I’ll be happy…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #158 — To See Or Be Seen Climbing the world’s tallest mountain, a feat which every year claims the lives of some who attempt it, is something to undertake for internal not external validation. So when George Mallory was asked why he wanted to climb Mt Everest, his terse…
Ep #157 — We Are ALL Joy Creators During the live broadcast last week my friend (and marketing guru) Jodi Hersh commented that she loves making things. I’ve known and worked with her since 1996 (you do the math!) and I can tell you that creating is core to her being, it informs how she…
Episode #156 — My friend Alexis Ramer-Artin told me that “We can listen when the Universe whispers in our ear or wait until it hits us in the head with a bat.” Those whispers are always around us. There are signs all around us. Yet so often we move through our lives unconsciously, deaf to those…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #155 — Burning energy or finding gifts? Three years ago on the first episode of Mindset Mondays, everything went haywire … including (OK, especially) me. I lost my composure and when I look back at that broadcast, that’s all I see. Three years later, I got a reminder of…
Episode #154 — More Gratitude, Less Platitude A search for quotes about gratitude will yield an endless scroll-parade of images leaving your screen sticky from sugary platitudes. Ewww! And just like my late-night study-snack stockpile in the 1980s: all sweet, no substance. Yes. Gratitude is good. We all get that. Let’s move on … I’m…
