What is it to 'play small'?
Many of my clients, whether they are coming as an individual or working inside an organisation, talk about a desire to be more forthright, honest and open in their communication and relationships. They describe how they would be so much happier and purposeful, that they would live life with a greater appreciation and f...
Often as they describe what the future would be like they put a powerful and subtle limiter, a word, into their expressed enthusiasm which redirects them from what's possible and has them finding and focusing on reasons why they can't do what they wish they could.
It's a really small word yet such an obstruction, not only to them, the client, also to others and their ideas, feelings and aspirations. That word is 'but' and it is a focal point for me when I hear it being used because it brings us to and holds us in the safety of playing small.
It is such a part of our language we don't even hear ourselves using it nor appreciate how it has such an impact.
A mother to her child "You did that really well darling, but...”. A manager to a team member "I think your work is improving but...”. You to yourself "I'd really like to try that but...”. We cut ourselves down regularly as we make judgment about ourselves and others based on a past perception, limiting experience or ot...
If we really want to grow, move from playing small, we need to move beyond our manufactured fear, our self-judgment, our blame and the pain we keep revisiting to justify why it's safer to not step out of our comfort zone. Instead, we need to step into accepting our 'self' as OK in its imperfection, neither good nor bad...
If you're in any doubt you can change your life, have a good look at the amazing athletes in the Commonwealth Games and in particular those who are disabled.
Futrell, a 33-year veteran of Columbus Fire & EMS, has security secret clearance through the U.S. Department of Defense and is certified in Homeland Security Level 5.
The council, announced Monday by Mayor Teresa Tomlinson, aims to bring Columbus in line with federal and state structures. Tomlinson said federal and state agencies have largely consolidated those public safety efforts to ease problems caused by lack of communication.
"After Sept. 11, 2001, both at the federal level and the state level, they created Homeland Security and pulled it away from emergency management," Tomlinson said. "We've had some nationally and state-wide dropped balls because of that, such as (Hurricane Katrina)."
A primary motivation for the council lies in broadening the understanding of homeland security, Tomlinson said. Presently, Columbus Homeland Security primarily responds to hazardous devices. This could leave the city weakened in the event of other catastrophes, such as contaminated water or electronic viruses.
"If homeland security for years has been primarily focused on hazardous devices, and you have a contamination of the water supply, has your muscle atrophied to deal with that situation?" Tomlinson said. "I think you'll see us flexing and exercising all of our muscles and keeping in shape with anything that might involv...
Officials say the Critical Infrastructure Committee will provide one of the most crucial functions of the council — ensuring crucial structures in Columbus continue to operate in cases of man-made and natural emergencies.
"It's going to be made up of the business community, public safety, public health," Futrell said. "That committee is really to help us plan how we can help the citizens and businesses in case of emergencies."
Tomlinson said a second committee in charge of grants will help organize efforts to better fund public safety departments. This, officials hope, will help the city better manage funds and prevent departments from unintentionally applying to similar grants due to lack of communication.
"What's happening now is the individual public safety departments are applying for their own grants, which is great but the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing," she said.
Futrell said the Intelligence Committee will handle sensitive information about the area and help Columbus agencies better communicate with nearby counties.
While Futrell said he is excited about the new opportunity as Homeland Security Director, the council will require team effort and input from multiple sources.
"This is a job that you can't do by yourself. I'm just going to be one spoke in a wheel to make this work," he said. " "We're not looking at just terrorist events, and we're not looking at just weather events, because if you look at it, both of them have about the same response."
New evidence suggests that even a small amount of exercise – 15 minutes of jogging a day, for example – could lower your risk of depression.
A recent study by Massachusetts General Hospital looked at more than 600,000 adults, assessing their genetic makeup, medical history and physical activity levels. Researchers determined that participants who were genetically more likely to exercise may be less likely to develop depression.
"Previous studies have shown an association. People who exercise have less depression," Dr. David Agus said Thursday on "CBS This Morning." "But this study, in a very clever genetic way where they actually were able to use genetics to randomize people … showed causality. That exercise itself, no matter who you are, can...
The key is to be active every day. "Fifteen minutes of jogging, an hour of gardening. Get outside and do something," Agus said. His rule of thumb? Get your heart rate up 50 percent higher from where it started for that 15 minutes of activity.
"If your heart rate starts at 60, get it to 90. That's not a crazy amount of exercise. That means you don't even need to be sweating or out of breath, just move is critical," Agus said.
In 2016, an estimated 16.2 million adults in the U.S. had at least one major depressive episode, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
Agus said he hopes this latest research will impact how doctors treat depression.
"My patients now, when they come in and say, 'I'm starting to feel a little depressed and not do as much,' my first thing is not prescribe a pill, but get outside and do something," Agus said.
RIO DE JANEIRO, March 12 (Reuters) - Air France’s insurance company said on Friday it will appeal a Brazilian court’s ruling for the airline company to pay $1.16 million in compensation to the family of a victim of a fatal crash last year.
French insurance company Axa (AXAF.PA) said in a statement it did not accept Thursday’s ruling as a precedent because compensation should be decided by a committee set up after the crash by Brazil’s government, associations of victims’ families and insurers. That committee agreed to define the criteria for fair compens...
Air France (AIRF.PA) flight AF447 between Rio de Janeiro and Paris crashed into the Atlantic Ocean during a storm on June 1, 2009, killing all 228 people on board.
A Rio civil court judge ordered Air France on Thursday to pay 2.04 million reais ($1.16 million) as compensation for the death of Marcelle Valpacos Fonseca Lima, a 41-year-old woman who was the Rio state attorney-general.
An Air France spokeswoman declined to comment while the airline studies the ruling.
The company said after the crash that it would compensate families of the victims through its insurers, with payments of around 100,000 euros ($137,000) per victim as a compassionate gesture rather than an admission of liability.
Passengers from 32 nationalities were killed in the crash of the Airbus 330. Among them were 61 French people and 58 Brazilians.
Breakthrough ideas are around the corner, says the Google co-founder. But most of us are failing to take a chance on them.
Google co-founder Larry Page announces an industry initiative aimed at making the world's computers and servers more energy-efficient.
(Fortune Magazine) -- As president of Google, Larry Page has pushed his people to take risks that have led to hot new applications like Gmail and Google Maps. Lately he has been thinking far outside the walls of his company. Page sees a world of opportunity - in areas ranging from energy to safer cars. But he also sees...
In these edited excerpts from an interview with Fortune managing editor Andy Serwer at Google's (GOOG, Fortune 500) headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., Page offers his views on innovation, change, fear - and why he is, all things considered, an optimist.
What are you thinking about these days?
If you ask an economist what's driven economic growth, it's been major advances in things that mattered - the mechanization of farming, mass manufacturing, things like that. The problem is, our society is not organized around doing that. People are not working on things that could have that kind of influence. We forget...
Instead, it's sort of like "We are captives of the world, and whatever happens, happens." That's not the case at all. It really matters whether people are working on generating clean energy or improving transportation or making the Internet work better and all those things. And small groups of people can have a really ...
How can we increase the number of people doing such work?
There are a number of barriers in place. Let me give an example. In our first founders' letter in 2004, we talked about the risk profile with respect to doing new innovations. We said we would do some things that would have only a 10% chance of making $1 billion over the long term. But we don't put many people on those...
Even when we started Google, we thought, "Oh, we might fail," and we almost didn't do it. The reason we started is that Stanford said, "You guys can come back and finish your Ph.D.s if you don't succeed." Probably that one decision caused Google to be created. It's not clear we would have done it otherwise. We had all ...
Are there mechanisms that society, government, or companies can put into place?
Absolutely - look at Silicon Valley, which has been the premier place in the world to do things like that. There's been a lot of money available and a lot of people encouraging other people to take risks. I don't know that we would have done it had we been in a different environment.
On the one hand you're saying it's a problem. On the other, you're saying it's being done.
I don't think it's black-and-white like that. The question is, How many people are working on things that can move the needle on the economy or on people's quality of life? Look, 40,000 people a year are killed in the U.S. in auto accidents. Who's going to make that number zero or very, very small? There are people wor...
As the Democratic field for the 2020 presidential election widens, a senator whose name has recently entered the national fray did not deny the possibility of a run at a Yale town-hall style meeting.
U.S. Senator Michael Bennet LAW ’93, D-Colorado, spoke to a crowd in Sudler Auditorium of William L. Harkness Hall on Sunday afternoon as an invited guest of Yale’s Every Vote Counts chapter in a candid question-and-answer style session. He discussed voter turnout, the importance of political engagement and his stances...
If Bennet were to enter the race, he would join a pair of fellow Yale alums and Senate colleagues in an already crowded and diverse field. Sen. Cory Booker LAW ’97, D-New Jersey, threw his hat in the ring two weeks ago, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar ’82, D-Minnesota, made her announcement in Minneapolis as Bennet spoke in WLH...
Bennet was initially appointed to his senate seat in 2009, after then-President Barack Obama appointed then-Colorado Senator Ken Salazar as secretary of the interior. He has since won re-election twice — in 2010 and 2016. Recently, a speech he gave on the Senate floor against policies purported by Sen. Ted Cruz became ...
“[Bennet] seems really genuine,” Alex Liang ’21 told the News. Liang added that Bennet, who first appeared on Liang’s radar following his senate speech, appealed to him because of his candid style.
“He doesn’t seem like a politician,” Liang said.
Bennet, who is viewed as a relatively centrist Democrat in a time where several prominent members of the Senate have embraced progressive agendas such as Medicare-for-all, spoke about the importance of voter turnout and election integrity.
Yale students in attendance said that they came to hear Bennet’s thoughts on policies and how his background contributes to his work as a legislator.
Bennet described the current environment in the Senate as “terrible,” before adding that Democrats, who now have the majority in the House of Representatives, should not emulate Republican attempts to gerrymander districts.
He also called out the divisiveness of national politics, pointing to Russian attempts to capitalize on the vitriol of political discourse before stressing a message of unity. Bennet called upon politicians and individuals alike to renew their commitment to effective political discourse.
Bennet underscored the importance of focusing on essential issues instead of becoming distracted by the national news cycle. Bennet noted that the United States has lagged behind other industrialized and developed nations such as Japan and Western European countries in terms of infrastructure and development.
Bennet graduated from Yale Law School in 1993 and was editor of the Yale Law Review. Before his senate career, Bennet previously worked as a managing director for a private investment firm in Denver, chief of staff for then-Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper and superintendent of Denver Public Schools.

A hate crime investigation is underway after 59 headstones were defaced and two were knocked over at a Jewish cemetery in Massachusetts, according to local police.
Officers responded to the Hebrew Cemetery in Fall River Sunday afternoon after a maintenance worker discovered gravestones damaged with swastikas and anti-Semitic messages, including "expel the Jew" and "Hitler was right," according to police.
It appeared the crime occurred Saturday or early Sunday morning, police said.
A Bristol County Sheriff's deputy walked the grounds of the cemetery Wednesday as relatives of those whose graves were desecrated documented the vandalism.
A tombstone was toppled at the Hebrew Cemetery in Fall River, Mass., March 19, 2019.
Robert Trestan, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in New England, called the crime "an inexcusable act of antisemitic hatred in the place where we honor and remember the lives of our community members."
"We are grateful for the priority that this apparent hate crime is being given by the Fall River Police Department," Trestan said.
The ADL said it's offering a $1,500 reward for information leading to an arrest.
