Where Do You Go?

When stuck in my thinking, there is something about staring out at the ocean that opens my mind to possibilities. I’m not sure if it’s hearing the rhythmic fall of the waves, wondering what lies beyond the horizon, or the dolphins that arc above the water that have me look below the surface … it…

Growing and Sustaining Engagement

As Jen mentioned last week, we’re exploring the topic of Expanding Your Influence over the next few weeks … because  engagement with others – interacting, connecting and building relationship – is its foundation. Most of us don’t live in a bubble, so it’s important to be cognizant of how we relate to others … to…

From Seed to Seedling

Nature is a great teacher. When you pay attention, you will see plants growing in unexpected places and unexpected ways. We can grow too.  Aristotle in The Nicomachean Ethics noted that “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.” Our last few blogs have focused on…

The word “confidence” comes from the Latin word…

Start Where You Are

What is courage? Courage is doing something that you are afraid of. We will be exploring how to build it over the next three weeks. But before that happens, clarity around your fears must be achieved. You need to start with where you are. Most of us tend to be risk averse. It’s not necessarily…

Right? Wrong.  The key lies in the fourth “P” – Preparation.   At LAITHOS, we help our clients gain…

Perception Before Action

In our past few blogs, we addressed the importance of getting grounded in purpose and presence as core aspects of showing up intentionally. The premise is that being intentional increases your chances of creating the impact you want, more so than showing up ‘accidentally’ or without much attention or thought.  Here, we explore a third aspect…

Your Present is Presence

English is not a precise language. Between multiple definitions for single words and the stories we make up about what a word means based on our experiences, it can be confusing.  Take the word presence. At LAITHOS, we use the word to talk about 1) being present and 2) how one shows up to others. Both have…
