Learn To Lead from the Inside Out
A person’s character is defined by their habits (or lack of habits). When you structure your day with a habit that includes goal setting, and then set up time to focus on a chosen goal without distraction, you unlock the potential to express yourself fully in the direction you have chosen. When these chosen, daily habits are linked together, you then discover that you can live the life you’ve always DREAMED of, every day! To change your life, chose to change your daily habits so that they keep you focused on the life you want to live. It’s that simple! So here are some insights that you may find helpful on your journey inward. 1. Conscious breathwork is good. Slowing down the breathing brings many body/mind benefits, including increased mindfulness, good digestion, and stress reduction. 2. Lucid dreaming is good. Using this dream-induced deeply relaxed state as a “discovery” space lets ideas and possibilities arise into your neocortex without judgement. It by-passes the “critic” which wants to judge everything as right or wrong, good or bad. What emerges, arises without judgement in that moment. 3. Yoga nidras rest on lucid dreaming and dream analysis. You are invited to “live your dreams.” By contrast, 10TRAITS Leadership development is based on the development of habits that can be informed by a lucid, dream-like state, but not living our dreams. Here’s why: Dreams are actually a kaleidoscope of images, emotions, and experiences that have accumulated over a lifetime. They emerge randomly, sometimes comic like, sometimes fearful, and also emerge more often if we have gone to bed thinking about them (a person, place, experience, etc.). When we focus on analyzing these random connections, we...

Thank You President Barack Obama, Now Let’s Celebrate Women’s Equality Everyday.
Presidential Proclamation — Women’s Equality Day, 2016 WOMEN’S EQUALITY DAY, 2016 – Thanks to the National Women’s History Project and Zonta International for reporting on this new recognition of the importance of reestablishing gender balance at home, at work, in the the workplace, — and the world. “All we are saying is….” restore the balance and dynamic synergy of the male and female, the masculine and feminine in everything we think, say and do. – – – – – – ————————————————————————————————————————– BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Nearly one century ago, with boundless courage and relentless commitment, dedicated women who had marched, advocated, and organized for the right to cast a vote finally saw their efforts rewarded on August 26, 1920, when the 19th Amendment was certified and the right to vote was secured. In the decades that followed, that precious right has bolstered generations of women and empowered them to stand up, speak out, and steer the country they love in a more equal direction. Today, as we celebrate the anniversary of this hard-won achievement and pay tribute to the trailblazers and suffragists who moved us closer to a more just and prosperous future, we resolve to protect this constitutional right and pledge to continue fighting for equality for women and girls. At every level of society, women are leaders at the forefront of progress.

A SMILE Is Bio-Chemical, Not A Gender “Game”
How often, when, and WHY should women smile? Here’s one answer. I’ll tell you why it is time to bring the word “SMILE” back to its origins. While a smile can be twisted, faked, turned upside down, and turned around from a complement into an insult; while a smile can make a person feel victimized, or vindicated…, in the end it’s none of the above. When we separate the act of smiling from all of its labels, it is simply a bio-chemical reaction to a good feeling…., or the “learned” ability to create a good feeling in ourselves and others. I feel good. I smile. You see me smiling, and you smile back. With the power of a magnetic force, a smile draws people toward us. Turn a smile upside down and the reverse is true, people move away from us (literally or metaphorically). Before I began writing about it, and talking about it, I discovered its power quite by accident. I was having a “bad hair day.” I had left the house in a hurry to do some errands, and then decided to stop by my favorite cafe for a coffee. Walking inside the cafe, I caught the reflection of myself in the window, and I was horrified. My hair! Look at my hair! I forgot to comb my hair. Now, I’m of the generation that remembers the famous bathing suit ad: “Just wear a smile and a Jansen.” What the ad was reminding anxious young women was this: “Don’t worry about your weight, or your shape. Just wear a smile and a Jansen.” So I auto-smiled as I...
