Yearly Review – 2022

Blog by Rick0 comments

As I close out 2022 in a personal vacay, I woke up today remember that I could procrastinate no longer in doing my annual review, a practice I picked up from Chris Guillebeau a few years back. Will there be lessons learned? Maybe! Will there be TMI? Maybe! Who knows, […]

The Problem with Disgruntled Former Employees

belonging by Rick0 comments

We’ve all at least known, if not actually been, a disgruntled former employee.  Disgruntled former employees (DFE’s, for short), are often problematic in the eyes of management. After all, they’re often the loudest, most publicly opposed to leadership. They’re completely unhampered by any societal obligations to their now-ex-coworkers, and unless […]

B.O., Rotting Food, and Moldy Lemons

Blog by Rick0 comments

The dish was filled up with dishes that were only moderately rinsed and the drain trap was partially blocked with food chunks. The nearby counter had a plastic bag with lemons in it, given to us a week ago. One was covered in a soft, fuzzy blanket of powdery mold. […]

Arbitrary Dates

Blog by Rick0 comments

Happy 2022, everyone. You might find today to be a momentous occasion, as it’s the start of a new calendar year. After all, we’ve created parades, funding and budget cycles, national holidays, and a bunch of other cultural norms around this day. So if that’s your jam, ride that inspiration […]

Falling On the Wagon

Falling On the Wagon

Blog by Rick0 comments

The term falling off the wagon usually refers to someone breaking a habit. It’s pretty apt in the way that it seems very intuitive that one can fall off a moving wagon if they simply lose their footing and get jostled by the natural bumpiness of the roads that a […]

Building in Public

Blog by Rick0 comments

I’ve been thinking a lot about Kaiju Coaching this weekend, and something I’ve come up with is that I’ve been pretty unclear about who I serve specifically.  “Leaders” and “those with impostor syndrome” are pretty general, and since I’ve also been reflecting on copywriting (probably because I’ll be head coaching […]

Joy As a Compass

Blog by Rick0 comments

This weekend I had the opportunity to check out Selena Soo’s three-day virtual conference. Long story short, I had an amazing time, but it also made me rethink about the daily blog, who’s it for, what’s it for, and whether or not it (in it’s current form) is serving me. […]

Doing Things Differently

Blog by Rick0 comments

There’s a cost to doing things differently, as by definition, you’re diverging from the norm.People aren’t hesitant around change and uncertainty, and the more innovative and radical you are, the most hesitancy there will be. But what might be the opportunity cost of doing things the same way as you’ve […]

Hiding in Excellence

Blog by Rick0 comments

It can be tempting to continue to do what you’re excellent at – after all, our society generally ties excellence to value. Starting something new, unlearning old behaviors, or developing a new skill can especially be frightening because it’s likely we will not be excellent at it. But it’s easy […]

Experimental Mindset

bias by Rick0 comments

It definitely feels good to be certain, but if we’re always certain, there’s no room for growth.  Certainty is a nice place to hide, as then you can celebrate being right about things, even if, by objective standards, you might be wrong.  Where in your life might you take a […]
