There is a poignant moment we all reach in our inspired work journey when we realize that our work is not about us. It is for us and of us, but it’s not actually about us. It is about those we are meant to serve.

Within each of us, there is so much fear bound up in our work. We fear failure. We fear success. We fear being unsupported. We fear being judged. We fear that we are incapable. We fear t...

I believe in humanity. Yes, we are currently acting out some of the darkest aspects of our being. Some of it is ugly. Some is diabolical. Some is loathsome. Much of it discouraging. Yet, I still believe in humanity.

Any which way you look, wars are being waged. Whether the battles are happening on the ground or in the political arena, violence continues to be used as a tool to dominate and oppres...

On my former island home, I met a gentleman with whom I was going to collaborate on a community development project at the time. During our initial conversation, our rapport was easeful and we were aligned on many of the issues, but then he said to me, “This island has too many trees.” Cue the awkward silence. I’m sure he could see my entire body stiffen. I let the silence grow between us to indic...

We are all keenly aware of the upheaval that is rippling throughout our current world state. While a new paradigm has been gestating beneath the surface of our conscious awareness for a long while, the physical reality of what is being transformed just started to become more obvious during the pandemic. It is a catalytic time of change for us as a humanity and the ongoing metamorphosis will only c...

Each of us sees the world through our own unique perspective, which has been shaped by who we are and what we’ve lived. Not only is it not possible for everyone to have the same views, it is also not desirable. It is the diversity of our individuality that seeds each flower in the bountiful garden of humanity that constitutes our planet.

As we move through life, from the wide array of thought ava...

Given the current state of world affairs, I think it’s an important reminder right now about how critical it is, first, to have a clear vision, and, second, to actually be living it. Your vision not only affects your life, it impacts all of humanity.

Imagine the world you want to live in

By my simple definition, a vision is “an image of the world you want to live in”. Currently, our world is at ...

Right off the top, I want to be clear. In general, I do not use the word “work” derogatorily. My view is that there is no distinction between the concepts of “work” and “inspired work”. When what we do in the world is aligned with who we are within, then I perceive them to be the same. However, for the sake of making my point in this post, I will use the individual word “work” here in the disparag...

Your existence serves a very valuable purpose at this tumultuous time on our planet. If you have been wondering how you can make an impact given the rapidly changing economic landscape, then I encourage you to consider the following reasons as to why you would want to discover, create, and live your inspired work.

1. It provides fulfillment, meaning, and satisfaction in your day-to-day life.

Thi...

When people first reach out to me, they often report feeling “lost” or “stuck at a crossroads” in their journey. They know they can no longer continue with the work they’ve been doing, but they’re not quite sure where to go next. They will ask me, “Where do I even begin?”

My answer is always the same, “You begin with your beliefs.”

No matter who I work with and in what capacity, my first questio...

Stagnation is my personal kryptonite. If you have ever been witness to me getting stuck, whether it’s in the outer world standing on a mountain ledge or if it’s within my own inner being trapped in a cycle of old patterns, you will also likely have seen me have a tragic meltdown. Everything in how I show up as a human is related to making forward movement. So when I get stuck, I’m blocking the nat...

I’m not one for overly manicured landscaping. I tend to prefer my nature on the wilder side. It’s a good thing I’m comfortable with a little disorder because the endeavour of growing the seeds of ideas into a thriving business can be unruly. But given the right conditions, your inspired work can flourish into a splendid garden that provides an endless bounty of fruit.

Your inspired work can flour...

One of the most common doubts I encounter in those I work with is “What if what I have to offer the world is not enough?”

Because folks seek me out in order to discover what work they want to create in the world, their deepest fear is that they will actually discover they have nothing of value to offer. Hidden within the dark recesses of their mind is shame around their own unworthiness, which pa...
