Yesterday, I caught a fish (actually, I caught (and quickly released) two) with my hands. It was at the Herring Run Park (Friends of Herring Run Parks) in Middleborough, Massachusetts. Although I've lived in Massachusetts for most of my 43 years, I didn't know about the Herring Run until yesterday. I'm so glad I learned. If you can't tell, that's authentic joy on my face. I felt extraordinarily...human, reaching into natural running water, picking up a living fish, and then lovingly returning it to where it could keep swimming. The herring have always been there. However, over the centuries, people have changed how and why we do and don't catch, trade, and feed them--to ourselves, the soil, and lobsters. :) Despite these many changes, I was struck by three seemingly constants that made me really happy: 1) There was no admission to this park to take part in this natural occurrence. 2) Herring Run-goers brought their two and four-legged kiddos, and everyone did a really good job of looking out for one another. 3) Most seemed to want nothing more than to be one (or close) with the fish. I didn't see any signs of anyone even slightly interested in hurting. However, there were some, like my son and a few pups, who preferred to admire from a distance. There are so many initiatives and projects, especially at work, that require advanced tools, evolving methods, and sophisticated approaches, all often necessary and essential to optimal performance. I think all of these advancements and changes become the most effective when those who design, implement, and rely on them stay rooted in what makes us uniquely human—when we value and remain curious about our experiences, emotions, and creativity. So, that's my longish endorsement for sticking your hand in a running stream or whatever natural equivalent opportunity comes your way this week. #practicewhatyouteach #getoutside #marathonmonday #optimalenvironment #catchandrelease

🎉 Party Like It's 1999 - Why whisper when you can shout? Campgrounds are the new concert halls. Share your favorite tunes with the entire site, especially late at night when people least expect it. Remember, if they didn't come for the concert, they're missing out! 🔊 Echo Location - Communication is key. Why walk over to your neighbor when you can communicate via megaphone? Whether it's a simple "Good Morning" or an in-depth discussion about the best type of marshmallow for s'mores, make sure your voice is heard. Far and wide. 🌟 Light Up the Night - Forget the stars; your campsite can be seen from space! Illuminate your site like it's an airport runway. Not only does it make for great midnight basketball, but you're also providing a free nightlight service to all your neighbors. 🐶 The Barkathon - Pets are family, and their voices deserve to be heard too! Encourage your furry friends to join the conversation. After all, it's their vacation too. In all seriousness, while a good laugh is always welcome, especially on April Fools' Day, it's important to respect your fellow campers and nature. Being considerate, keeping noise to a minimum, cleaning up after yourself, and following the campground rules ensure a pleasant experience for everyone. Here's to creating happy campground memories! 🍃💕 #rv #rvlife #rvliving #RVLife #rvwarrantyforever #OutdoorWarranty

Planning your Spring Break Staycation? Here are some ideas to inspire you to enjoy your home and to explore your local outdoors!

“The point of maximum danger is the point of minimum fear.” Yesterday, I had a catch-up with my good mate Tom Rae . We go way back – we were housemates in our younger days when we were young, naive and skint! We started reminiscing about those times, but our chat quickly turned to the present – specifically, that unique feeling you get before a massive task or project. You know the one I’m talking about – the classic mix of excitement, anxiety, and that gnawing fear that something might go wrong. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, ready to jump but not quite sure if you should. Our conversation got me thinking about something Will Smith once said about skydiving and fear. He said, “The point of maximum danger is the point of minimum fear.” If you haven’t seen it, give it a watch here : https://lnkd.in/exax5iH9 He talks about how the moment right before you jump is pure terror. But once you’re out of the plane, it’s pure bliss. The fear disappears, and you’re left with the exhilaration of free-fall. It's a beautiful metaphor for life and business. In our work, especially with big projects, it's easy to get caught up in the “what ifs” and the fear of failure. But once you take the plunge, you often find it’s not as terrifying as you imagined. The adrenaline kicks in, and you're in the zone, solving problems and making things happen. So, here’s to embracing that fear and pushing through it. Because on the other side of fear is where the magic happens. Thanks for the chat, Tom – always good to get some perspective from an old friend. #Fear #Courage #BusinessLessons #OldFriends #EmbraceTheFear #PushingThrough #ProjectManagement #Inspiration
