Conquering Imposterism…because you probably have it.
I was walking with a coworker during our weekly 1:1 (I highly recommend doing this btw), and the subject of imposter syndrome came up. We were recalling times being in new roles and having this unfounded "what if I don't know what I'm doing" thought looming in the background. I've

thinkspace members who have met me know that I am Peter Chee’s assistant and that I’m relatively new to Seattle. What the majority of you won’t know is that my background is in holistic health and wellness along with a master’s degree in education. These concentrations share a common foundation
Three Reasons Why I Start My Day Early in the Morning
Here are the three reasons why I start my day early. My first reason is backed up by a ton of articles about what super successful people do. They wake up early. The coolest thing that I learned from the morning exercise routine was I had created a new equilibrium point every single
We are made for Labor Day.
So, I gotta be honest. Up until writing this post, I actually didn't know the history behind Labor Day. Why question a 3-day weekend, right? For the majority of my teens and twenties, Labor Day was simply the weekend I saw Dave Matthews at the Gorge before heading back to school. But

For the next few weeks, you're going to need an answer to the daunting question "What's your New Year’s Resolution?" This year, resolve to answer with something you'll practice. Allow me to explain. In the past, my resolutions have had a common denominator - they've all shared a lofty (and usually unattainable) goal. I'm not going

I recently watched the documentary, “Forks Over Knives.” The premise for the documentary: “What has happened to us? Despite the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker than ever by nearly every measure. Two out of every three of us are overweight. Cases of diabetes are exploding, especially amongst
No expectations, no disappointments.
I'm a planner. I'm a goal-setter. I love the strategy that goes along with discerning a five-year strategic plan. But in addition to my goal-setting-strategic-planning posture, I've found that I also need to embrace the discipline of having no expectations. The things that frustrate, anger, and irritate me have one thing in common: I don't
If you want to have a better future, stop trying to have a better past.
Don’t let your past haunt you. I’m a fairly positive and forward-thinking person. But hiccups along the way usually involve dwelling too much on the mistakes of my past and trying to remedy and re-remedy them. Even though most of the time they’ve already been dealt with. We’ve all been told that
