Think of some companies such as Disney, Southwest Airlines, and Starbucks and your mind thinks of very good customer service.

The Academy Awards…what a grand and huge spectacle.

Well, the other night one famous person made a spectacle of himself at the Academy Awards - Will Smith.

If you haven’t heard, Will Smith stormed up onstage during the Oscars and SMACKED Chris Rock on live TV.

As a movie buff and a huge Will Smith fan, I feel a need to unpack this moment and what it might teach us all…

JumpStart - Zeigarnik effect

Have you ever wondered why stressing over your “To Do” list seems to affect your mind more than the tasks you’ve completed?

Have you noticed that your mind seems to NEED to label things in your environment?

Have you struggled with feeling good about what you’ve accomplished rather than stressing out over what’s outstanding?

The answer is the Zeigarnik effect and you and I both struggle with it daily.

However, once we realize our connection to this psychological effect, we can begin to master it -- starting NOW.

JumpStart - Having a Great Day

Remember back several decades ago when, I think it was McDonald’s, began saying, “Have a great day” when you received your meal?

JumpStart - Overcoming Depression

Have you ever woken up depressed?

My mom called it “Waking up on the wrong side of the bed” and believe me it's no fun.

It seems that if you wake up feeling sad and defeated, those emotions stay with you for the rest of the day and can even linger over into the next.

If you've ever woken up depressed, or sad, I'm going to share with you a recent “blinding flash of the obvious” I had and how it changed my mornings and as a result my every day.

This is Big Stuff! 

Don't miss it…
