fullfathomfifty: soundings in leadership
Wisdom Creation
This melancholy quote has been a motivating challenge for us at SeaChange—how do we accelerate the development of wisdom in leaders and teams? The commitment to that quest is embedded in our logo.
micromotion
Thanks to the support of Headspace, I remain on track with my resolution to meditate for 15 minutes every day this year. Through the “meditation buddy” feature I can see that some of you have a longer streak going than I do!
micromeditation
Ever feel like your brain is a small furry creature furiously gathering acorns and then promptly forgetting where the last batch was stored?
micromoments
Thanks to technology, we’re able to maximize every moment, filling the time between meetings, deadlines and errands with a text, a tweet or a YouTube video. But maybe we’re missing something here. Perhaps those in-between moments matter more than we realize.
Breaking News
It has been a slow-moving season here in Maine. We’re deep into June and the forces of unfurling, blossoming and hatching are still very much at work.
A Laughing Matter
I had my stand-up comedic debut last Saturday night. No, it wasn’t at Carolines on Broadway, one of New York’s more well-known comedy clubs.
The Nutella Legacy
While I rarely read it cover to cover, I do make a point of perusing the obituary on the last page of The Economist. A lot of living is covered there. It’s not just the heroes whose successes are chronicled, but also the toxic residue left by people who have misused their power.

Over the last year I have become an avid proponent of chess through watching my son play on his middle school chess team. The benefits of chess are multi-fold.
Selfie Knowledge
Most practitioners in the field of leadership development would agree that increased self-awareness is one of the first stages of professional growth.
The Last Time for the First Time
When is the last time you did something for the first time? A month ago I was certified as an indoor group cycling instructor at our local Y.
Philosopher Kings, Naturally
Last week I attended Wisdom 2.0 Business, a thought-provoking conference in NYC about innovation, mindfulness and purpose-driven work.
A Path of Least Resistance?
I've often been asked: what do horses and the sea have to do with executive development? It's a fair question. Surely there are easier ways to offer rising leaders a customized interactive and reflective experience supported by executive coaching?
A New Language
Horses speak their own language. They communicate with each other with the twitch of an ear in close quarters or a whinny that sends a message clear across a valley.
What's in a Name?
When conjuring up a name for a blog, I reached back to Shakespeare whose words had been the inspiration over a decade ago for my company name, SeaChange Resources.
