My keynote speech for the North Vancouver School District Conference focused on the critical need to create possibilities for ourselves and in our own lives if we hope to create possibilities for others. There is a reason they recommend that you put on your oxygen mask before you help others on an airplane.
For those of us in the serving professions, this is a key point. We must live and breathe our possibilities in order to open up possibilities for others.
I am a firm believer in possibility, and in the concept that anything is possible for anyone. On my darker days of solo-entrepreneurship I flag a little bit in my belief, and then something happens to reaffirm.
Spring is perfect time to embrace new possibilities. For my part, I am going to consider the possibility that by giving myself a full day off each week, I actually will be more effective. That day off will include all the things I have too often left out of my life for the past few years – things like hiking, and biking, and just plain ‘ol having fun!
My son, Liam, is also embracing new possibilities as his band, NO GOLD, launch their debut album at the SXSW Festival in Austin, TX next week. Here’s a track from his album – have a listen! 2. Rainforts
