As with each holiday, the 4th can be viewed with exoteric and esoteric eyes. Exoteric: it’s about freedom of a nation from others, rights, liberties to pursue certain life experiences. These are won through laws and physical wars. Esoteric: it’s about an inner ability to live free of energetic/emotional weights …
Professionalism is an art that challenges us to put forth our best public image and manifest our highest self-image. To be professional is to maintain a level of conduct that produces positive outcomes for all parties involved. This is how we build credibility. When we think of professional development, often …
How Important Are Years of Experience (YoE) in a Job Posting? Like education requirements, this is an area for revision. Quantitatively, this is the amount of time a person has been immersed in a space. If John Doe has 3 years of experience, it can mean he’s been “in the …
Imagine yourself at a networking event. There you are, dressed in your best professional clothes because that’s what the advertisement suggested on Meetup.com. You’re standing at the front entrance. It’s about 45 minutes after the event started; you didn’t want to be the absolute first one to walk in without …
You feel it, that penetrating, nagging pull from within that’s telling you to pay attention. You know it. Something is different and that something changed your way of seeing the world and yourself. You now recognize the distinction between the self and the Self. You sense it. From all of …
A Short Story Rosa expected this to be a normal day, not an intuition lesson. It was Friday and she felt spent working hard all week. Nothing like a waitress position to give all the exercise she needs, running food back and forth to tables, writing down customer orders, returning …
Walking into a Microsoft store has a different feel for me compared to a few years ago. The company’s been around for decades. Back then the trend was about upgrading to the newest software versions, and it still feels like each time I shut down the PC it’s asking for …
We have a few health evaluation layers to look at when considering how well we are: physical, mental/spiritual, emotional, material, nutrition, social. We also need to include genetic. Collectively, these factors lead us to acknowledge the principle, “Know Thy Self.” Example of Individualized Health If I go to a doctor …
An experience is an interface between our outer (external peering, ex-peer-ience) and inner perception. While we can take a passive approach to experiencing, letting life happen as some say, aspirants work to co-create with experiences, seeing them as opportunities to develop. We’ve mastered experiences when we’re no longer at the …

Trend: It’s important to recognize the popularity pattern for products and services are liable to be hijacked. If you’ve been seeing more of these DNA test/ancestry commercials lately, think back to the original site, ancestry.com. That platform was one of the first to help people investigate lineages, but no need …
Our current version of Independence here in the U.S. devotes a single day to celebrate the nation’s sovereignty from the European power in the 18th Century. We mark this day with family gatherings, fireworks and a day off of work. Perhaps we’ll invest time at the beach. The newer trend …
Along our spiritual path (growth path, personal development, call it what you wish) there are decision branches that sprout in many directions. These tend to be created based on our choices and sometimes they appear to be present not for our highest good. Maliciously intending to throw us off our …
An interview is an opportunity for the candidate and employer to evaluate each other and confirm if value matches the role offered. Mentioned in one of my previous writings, this engagement is a reciprocal relationship and should be treated as such. When the candidate forgets this, she becomes susceptible to …
Within the self-development space there’s a cohort focusing on how to speed read. That is, how to read faster to acquire more information. While it sounds like a super power, at the root it really is just another symptom of the quick-fix epidemic we have in the U.S. The thinking …
Two conversations over the past days sparked interest in covering E-mail management. Checking my inboxes from the multiple E-mail accounts, I thought having 40-60 new messages was a large number. Some of us are working with 1000-18,000 new inbox messages! Reflected on my time career counseling college students and this …
