Great song by Dylan to bring us into today’s STARPOWER coaching session on a most important subject…You gotta serve somebody. Ray, I’m not feeling the upbeat vibe today, but it’s a good thing I can choose not to serve negative feelings. As Coach, my job is not political/social commentary, however, I must be sensitive to what’s happening. My job is to inspire and help keep our minds at peak effectiveness to live our best possible lives.
So glad you are with us this morning as we embark on another journey guided by our STARPOWER model that integrates Attitude, Appearance, Abilities, Associations and Accountability; 5-points designed to get us into Action. Today we launch into a most important discussion, with some actionable tips, inspired by a meeting I was in this week. What impressed me was the hopefulness with which each person shared. They each talked about the measures they were taking to ensure healthy practices for their business and customers. It was a very positive time. And that’s where I want to begin…Hopefulness.

Why are we the only species on the planet that need laws to keep each other safe? We had to pass the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) due to the lack of workplace safety…and here we go again with the same issues in the public domain.

Our purpose today is to appreciate that Murphy will be with us as we birth a new normal, and to quickly embrace our new life. Time to focus…STARPOWER starts now. Today's Handout click here.

“Perception is key to resilience,” was the opening statement from the last time we were together. Back then, our world was an unsettled place…teacher’s strikes, shootings at YouTube, the FL High School, and TN Waffle house, assault rifle ban, troops to the border and E.Coli in romaine lettuce. Tainted lettuce…seems quaint by today’s standards. People were feeling besieged and we worked on the power of bouncing back. Today we focus on coming to terms with our new reality. Stand by, Saturday morning STARPOWER Coaching begins shortly.
