Grateful

November 27, 2023by Asila Calhoun
These days, many of us are re-thinking the meaning of Thanksgiving and what we learned in elementary school vs. reality of what really happened in the early settling days of the Europeans on American soil. For me Thanksgiving is about the food and the fellowship. This year we didn’t have the traditional meal with family. I made lasagna for Hubs and me!  However, earlier this month...

The Nudge

October 24, 2023by Asila Calhoun
Hubs and I were in Asilah, Morocco this past summer, where we stayed at a lovely riadh (think B&B, but cozier) that had a resident cat and three turtles as pets. The turtles roamed around in the garden, often near the small bistro tables where we ate breakfast and dinner. One morning as we were sitting there enjoying our breakfast, I heard a thumping sound. I looked over and saw the...

Boundary Up!

September 29, 2023by Asila Calhoun
Do you struggle with setting boundaries? Recently, I have witnessed or heard examples of individuals setting effective boundaries. One example I observed was when purchasing tickets for a ferry ride while at the beach. The sales person had a process with a few steps, and she was clear in asking us to wait until she completed those steps before asking her additional questions. I appreciated...

Break Free From Burnout

May 29, 2023by Asila Calhoun
I’ve been doing a little research on burnout, which started after my friend, Crystal Richards invited me to speak on a panel about burnout at her Indoor Recess for Project Managers earlier this month. I noticed more people in my life talking about burnout––clients, friends, and family members. According to Gallup, 35% of managers report feeling burned out,...

Clear Your Mental Clutter

March 31, 2023by Asila Calhoun
As many of you know, about seven months ago Hubs and I relocated back to Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where we lived for almost 20 years before spending seven years in Washington, D.C. We merged two households––our D.C. apartment and the everything we had in storage from our prior Chapel Hill home. To say the least, it is overwhelming to have everything under one roof. We have been...

’23 and Me

January 23, 2023by Asila Calhoun
This year started off with a BANG! I think so many of us desperately want to turn the page on the last couple years of disruption with Covid-19 and “get back to normal”. I found that several clients wanted in-person team retreats and other events to jump start the new year. It’s been hectic. And also fun! I knew January was going to be wild as clients started...

December 22, 2022by Asila Calhoun
Many of us have year-end traditions, whether celebrating holidays, spending quality time with loved ones, cooking and eating certain foods, enjoying cultural celebrations, and more. What rituals do you participate in this time of year to close out the current year and prepare for the new year?Hubs and I don’t have one way of celebrating the season. Sometimes we are with family and friends,...

November to Remember

November 22, 2022by Asila Calhoun
I think November just might be my favorite month, which surprises me a little because I am a warm (not hot) weather person. But, there is something about the crisp air, the changing leaves, and gathering with my family in this season of gratitude that makes it truly special. This November, I have had some notable client projects and partnerships that made this...

PRIDE

June 30, 2022by Asila Calhoun
Earlier this month I received a card in the mail from the Human Rights Campaign. The image is of a beautiful rainbow heart, and right next to the heart is a thank you to me for being an HRC member for the past 21 years. What surprised me most was that it had been 21 years since a dear friend and I walked into the HRC store on Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C., and I made...
