“Sprinkler Time…”

- June 23, 2019

Shared by Kristina Smedley “Sprinkler Time…” Rules… sounds like limitations, structure, and confinement to many. One rule I hated as a kid was “it has to be 70 degrees outside to turn on the sprinkler.” I mean, come one… we lived in the mountains in the PNW. 65 is plenty warm enough for swimming suits and sprinklers! Now, I don’t know if my parents intended to make this rule. Or, if our babysitter made it up so she wouldn’t have to deal with three soaking and crazy kids. Either way, I’d sit and stare at the thermometer. Waiting… just waiting… until that little red dial hit 70. Then, it was on! Sprinkler Time!!!! This memory came to mind today as I was listening to Tim Ferriss interview Ramit Sethi, the author of “I’ll Teach You To Be Rich.” Both Tim and Ramit have rules setup throughout their life. A playbook of sorts. “When traveling for more than 5 hours, always book business class.” “Eat essentially the same foods day in and day out.” “A five-step morning process t...

“Choosing Happiness…”

- June 23, 2019

Shared by Kristina Smedley “Choosing Happiness…” Early in my career, I had dreams of one day working in a prestigious high rise building, in the middle of a bustling city. Of wearing fancy clothes to work every day. Of having an authority position, making good money, and being seen as a success. I would go out to small local restaurants for lunch and attend networking events and professional happy hours after work. This was my idea of a fulfilling career… of one where I would be happy every day. Now, 14 years after graduating from college, I’m not leaving this career. Not at all! And I have to admit… I’m so thankful. So far, I’ve done some pretty cool things in my career… traveled to many different countries to meet with customers, mentored, and coached others, setup organizational operating models, and (the best part) had the opportunity to build cultures and environments where our teammates thrive! I’ve learned over time that the fame and glory, the fancy office buildings...

“Am I an Imposter…”

- September 10, 2018

Shared by Kristina Well… I’m pretty sure I’m not an imposter at Boeing. I’ve worked here for 13 years, know our culture, have a large network of colleagues and friends, and know my job and what’s expected of my team and me. And I’m proud of what we are able to accomplish together! Not being an imposter feels good… maybe even great! But what is my purpose in life? What would I really love to spend my time on? What are my passions? Here’s where the “imposter me” starts stepping in. Owning a business Leadership coaching Inspiring others Building community Positively impacting the community I live in Practicing and teaching mindfulness Empowering others, and therefore myself Unlocking potential Enabling our schools, businesses, and communities to thrive The imposter me has a racing heart (and sweaty palms) just writing this down, knowing that I might actually share this with others! Are these lofty, crazy ideas? Do I really have any right to think I can do this? Will others th...
