It's so important in these turbulent, uncertain times to find comfort & connection in sweet moments - those fleeting moments that bring us closer to our hearts and who we are as human beings, not just humans doing. Sharing a Moment I shared one of these moments with my partner, Dan, yesterday, when he serenaded me on the 17th anniversary ... [Read more]

Movement Monday: Friluftsliv & A Vital Life

February 15, 2021 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

This week, we are moving from Hygge, a cozy life, to Friluftsliv, a vital life. A vital life is a way of filling your cup so you can best navigate in an uncertain and disruptive world. It’s about resting, rejuvenating and recovering to push forward from a place of vitality and overflow versus depletion. Fostering Vitality and Wellbeing After ... [Read more]

Movement Monday: Disrupt the Agency Disruptor

February 1, 2021 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

I’ve heard Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology speak a couple of times recently about Agency, and it occurred to me that we all could use a little bit of an Agency hack about now. Disrupt the Agency Disruptor?  What is Agency? Here, I am not talking about a digital tech firm but a psychological state of ... [Read more]

Movement Monday: The Hill We Climb

January 25, 2021 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

By now, most of the world is familiar with the poem, “The Hill We Climb,” By Amanda Gorman, the first National Youth Poet Laureate.

Movement Mondays: LeaderFULL Moments

January 18, 2021 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Given the events at the Capitol last week, and the Inauguration here in the United States this week, I am called upon to reflect on LeaderFULL moments.

Movement Monday: Change Yourself

January 11, 2021 By Susan Shaner 1 Comment

Change, and changing yourself, is usually not easy. It is easier to point a finger at what someone else who needs to change. Transformation is Messy People often want to have a transformation without the messy work of it all. Inherent in any transformation is a trans - form - ation, a breakdown of how things were formed so they can be ... [Read more]

Movement Monday: Release 2020 & Welcome 2021

December 28, 2020 By Susan Shaner 1 Comment

What do you need to release from 2020, and what can you welcome in for 2021 with open arms? I thought of this question as my life partner, Dan and I, went on a hike in a nearby open space, Burr Farms, yesterday. We were struck by the name as we both grew up in the same town, 45 minutes away from this public space, that also had a Burr Farm ... [Read more]

Movement Monday: The Great Conjunction or The Great Awakening?

December 21, 2020 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

The Great Conjunction or the Great Awakening? I say both. A time where there are truths revealed. We can read this conjunction in astronomical, astrological, spiritual or psychological terms. I have long been a student of the Universal Kabbalah so I could read it in spiritual terms. I am also an organizational psychologist and a trained clinician, ... [Read more]
