Burn Those Bridges Behind You and Go Forward to Success.

When do most of us take action or start to live? It's when we face death. Do or die situations. Life is precious and we seem to recognize that when tragedy hits. "I'm going to enjoy all the things that I haven't given myself time to do." "I'm going to live life to it's fullest." "I'm going to be kind to everyone and forgive my enemies." "I'm going to reach my goal!"



WAKE-UP! Live NOW! Do those things… Continue

Just because I'm not a Boomer - Doesn't mean I am not a Zoomer!!

So the funniest thing was said to me today:



Your not over 50! why are you on "zoomers.ca"?



When I composed myself (from my laughing fit) I explained, to this uneducated individual, that being over 50 has nothing to do with being a Zoomer!!



I will admit it is the basis of the idea but it is not the standard and rule!



I have not been an oficial zoomer for long (obviously) but I am one through and through!



Born in 1986, i don't fit in to the… Continue

Inspiring the Leader to Inspire

In my most recent book, ONE: The Art and Practice of Conscious Leadership, I wrote about how South Korean activist lawyer and presidential candidate Roh Moo Hyun leveraged technology to become elected - he showed us how technology helps to make us one. This week we received the sad news that Roh had committed suicide.



In his bid to become President of South Korea Roh leveraged the power of the Internet even before Barak Obama. Self-educated, Roh came from a poor family and in earlier… Continue

Poetry and Pain

Thanks Bob, for liking my poem. I have quite a few more . . . all written when I was in much pain (pretty obvious, isn't it) dealing with an unwanted but it retrospect a necessary divorce. I was so angry . . . and being a private person I shunned the people who wore their hearts on their sleeve, bombarding you with ever detail of their latest all encompassing life drama. Oh if only they had thought of reality t.v. first . . . some of my friends would be very, very rich today.
