A New Publishing Schedule for Managing with Aloha Coaching

Ka lā hiki ola is The Dawning of a New Day

Choose This Day as Your Ka lā hiki ola too: Shift with me in the new.

What you read here yesterday is very much a statement of where I am right now, where I want to be and intend to be, and where I hope you will join me.

I have decided on some shift for Managing with Aloha Coaching, and kēia manawa, it starts right now, today.

I love this site and I remain devoted to my mission here, to bring value-aligned living and working into the daily habits of our Ho‘ohana Community one value at a time, one month at a time, whether our practice of them be at work or elsewhere. It is important, and it is my Ho‘ohana.

Yet even that which is important can be too much in our already busy lives, and thus overwhelming at times. My personal and very diligent study of Ma‘alahi (a persuasion for calm contentment) over the past few months has helped me understand that has been the case here.

Our Shift: This will be the new publishing schedule for our value study here on MWAC for the month of June, and each month forward:

• Day One Essay:
  I will continue to present my Day One Essay which announces the value we will study on Day One of the month, no matter what day of the week the 1st may fall on, just as I did with Ka lā hiki ola yesterday, June 1st.

• Value Study:
  Thereafter, I will post just once a week on MWAC, and it will be every Tuesday.

My intention is to concentrate our efforts, both yours and mine, on one posting per week and all the action-oriented follow-up that can come with it to make value-alignment our constant habit.

No more non-MWA extras to this site that will stray us off course:
You can continue to visit as much as you like, and I encourage it, so that we can engage with each other on the value study at hand, versus the reading-only of more frequent updates. I am hoping that from Tuesday to Tuesday we can “live and work” together within the comment conversation of the one posting alone, and I intend to make it rich with the MWA coaching you have come to expect from me.

However understand something: You will never find magic pills here.

For Managing With Aloha to be incorporated into your life, reading is not enough. You must commit to action. My personal goal with MWAC is to nurture a community here eager to support you, a community learning to practice Managing with Aloha, just as you are.

Eventually, my hope is to offer you additional product that up to now has only been shared with those who personally attend my workshops. But that can come later: We still have much we can devote our efforts to here before then, and I am very excited about this new rhythm for us.

This will be our MWAC Table of Contents in June 2008:

• Tuesday 6/3 –-- June Value Post 1: Ka lā hiki ola and Ho‘ohiki

• Tuesday 6/10 –-- June Value Post 2: Ka lā hiki ola and Kēia Manawa

• Tuesday 6/17 –-- June Value Post 3: The Sound of Ka lā hiki ola
  This will be our first Managing with Aloha Coaching VoiceThread experiment!

• Tuesday 6/24 – June Value Post 4: Hope, thy Ka lā hiki ola name is Optimism

Tuesday 7/01 – Day One Essay for July

A Second Ka lā hiki ola Announcement: About Talking Story

I am reviving Talking Story with Say Leadership Coaching for the noise of my other diversions, and believe me, as those of you who know me well will attest to, I can be juggling a whole lot of other diversions at any given time! Odd as it may sound, that juggling is actually very ma‘alahi (calming) for me and my brand of contentment.

Here is one example that did not fit in to MWAC at the time I had posted it, but it was a so-called ‘diversion’ that we use quite a bit within our MWA workshops and the SLC coaching programs:

The 20 Benefits of Peer to Peer Coaching (and the MWA Way of doing it)

It is a good article to visit today, before we launch into more of Ka lā hiki ola tomorrow: Are you taking advantage of peer-to-peer coaching? MWAC is here as a virtual, readily-accessible online version, but what do you do every day with your peers at work? You will often hear me say this: Don’t go it alone when you don’t have to, and when it is far, far better not to!

Here is what Raven Young of our Ho‘ohana Community added after she had read about the 20B of P2PC:

“It's easy to look at coaching as a touchy-feely, foo-foo activity that most teams/organizations don't have time for, but you will find that most high performing teams have open, respectful communications that often contain some level of P2PC.”

Mahalo nui loa Raven!

If you click over to Talking Story right now you will see that I have updated both sidebar columns with new links to bring the site back up to date (let me know what you think: I would love your feedback so I can make it as user-friendly for you as possible).

There will not be a set schedule for Talking Story, for diversions do not do well in set schedules! However mission-connected Ho‘ohana does, and so you can be sure that as its critical underlying foundation, Talking Story will be value-aligned with our month here at MWAC.

Tomorrow we start our Tuesday schedule with Ka lā hiki ola and Ho‘ohiki. I hope to see you here then, and working with us for your value-alignment fix in the week thereafter.

We Ho‘ohana together!

Oh, Rosa, this is so exciting! I've just hopped over to Talking Story so I can join you on your diversion, because, as you probably know by now, I've made diversion my specialist subject! Also, I'm extremely interested to see how your new schedule for MWAC develops. The month ahead looks great. Thank you for sharing it with me :-)

[Joanna Young]

Rosa, I applaud you for your work to find the right kind of publishing schedule for you and your readers.

I think this approach will work for you (and us) and I look forward to following your articles here and enjoying some talking story at talking story :-)

Mahalo Amy and Joanna, I so appreciate your thoughtful comments for me here in support! Your feedback is always so helpful and encouraging.

[Raven]

Hi Rosa - Thanks for the mention and link love. I think having a publishing schedule for your blog is a great idea, and your topics and posts are always worth the wait!

[Rosa Say]

Oh thank you Raven. My hope is that there isn't much waiting time and that more time is allocated to the action steps taken between posts.

I think that conversation with each other is very valuable too, for it can stir up the energy we need for those actions, so I do appreciate your being here Raven!
