Ukraine

Blog by Rick0 comments

I am not a foreign policy expert, nor a diplomat, nor a politician. At the end of the day, I’m some dude in California who talks about leadership and makes monster art. I have the privilege of never knowing what it’s like to live in a country where war is […]

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 […]

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 […]

Leaning Into Selfishness

Blog by Rick0 comments

It’s okay to do things for selfish reasons, especially if it also helps other people out.  I donated $50 towards an organization that is raising money for suicide prevention advocacy mainly because it bought me raffle entries for rare vinyl toys that I want.  It might not be the most […]

The Perfect Time

bias by Rick0 comments

We always hear about the perfect time. We fear being too early, but also fear about being too late. Whether we’re talking about when to arrive at a social gathering, when to invest in something, when we should launch something new, or whether or not to jump on a new […]

Are You Ready to RUMMMMBBBBLEEEE?

Blog by Rick0 comments

I used to think that when someone finally gave me a chance, I’d be ready to step onto the big stage.  Play with the big dogs. Smash it out of the park with everyone watching. Foolishly, I’d quietly wait to be chosen, to wait until someone could see past the […]

Get Some Sleep

Blog by Rick0 comments

Life can be a lot sometimes.  We all have ups and downs, and between global warming, regime changes, and a global pandemic, there’s a lot of carry.  So here’s my recommendation: Go get some sleep. That’s it. Make sure you’re well rested, because we’re in life for the long haul, […]

Justification as Self Doubt

Blog by Rick0 comments

When we’re confident in our decisions, actions, or speech, we don’t need to tell ourselves that we did well. We know that everything makes sense and we don’t give it a second thought. When we over explain our decisions, actions, or speech to others, and we have that need to […]

Naming the Monster

Blog by Rick0 comments

It’s said that in old maps, when cartographers would come across uncharted territory, they would write “Here be monsters” or something to that tune, to highlight the fear of the uncertainty and the likelihood that in those days explorers would tend to meet grisly ends.  While the likelihood of this […]
