Oops! I Called My Boss 'Dude.' Career Coaches Weigh In On Tricky Workplace Dilemmas

It can be hard to know how to act at work. I want to be my relaxed, authentic self — but sometimes that comes off as way too casual.

For example, I once called my boss “dude.” She’s not that much older than I am, so I slipped into a more laid-back attitude that should probably be reserved for peers. I instantly felt like… (Read on…)

7 Japanese Concepts That Can Improve Your Life

7 Japanese Concepts That Can Improve Your Life

Besides instilling in me a desire to crane-kick everyone, The Karate Kid …implanted a nascent interest in Japanese culture. When I was five, I remember cobbling together a small Shinto shrine out of construction paper, popsicle sticks, and Elmer’s glue so I could have a setup similar to Mr. Miyagi’s dojo in my bedroom. It’s funny to think about a five-year-old church-going kid living in the middle of Oklahoma creating a Shinto shrine for himself.

My appreciation for Japanese culture has deepened since then and continues today. One of the things I love about the Japanese is…. (Read on…)

Fear and Entrepreneurship: The Psychology of What Scares Us

Your stomach ties itself into a knot and your heart races nowhere as your mind sorts through every conceivable worst case scenario. We call it “fear” and our instincts scream for us to avoid whatever source it stems from. But as irrational as it often is, as silly as it sometimes seems when you witness it in others, fear is something we have to continually confront throughout our lives. Entrepreneurs especially—so steeped in uncertainty as they are—have to learn how to live with fear if they want to go far. Because perhaps the scariest thing about fear is how it
