and to the relentless pursuit of your North Star
Join our next Coffee Talk. Thursday, Feb. 25th @9:30pET. Here' the link.
These are the stories our members (aka Journey Talkers) have put out into the community about their own personal and professional voyages, past, present, and future. And when I say "Journey Talkers" I'm including myself! This is where I will continue to share my own musings from the road, both near and far. These entries, along with the conversations we have over coffee, are the lifeblood of Journey Talk. If you haven't yet shared what you are up to, please consider it. And before you think your story isn’t a story, well, it is.
If you haven't yet told a story we hope you decide to post something soon. You can start anywhere. Just click that button below that says "Create a Post."
I happen to love this this quote from Kindra Hall, author of Stories That Stick.
We hope you comment on other people’s stories. Just knowing someone is out there listening and reading can make all the difference in the world.
Be sure to check if the Journey Talker is asking for any specific help.

Hi, Ed here:
This is where I talk about a person, a place and a thing. Bet you're glad I explained that. Haha. I noticed on the trip that the things which most intrigued me fell into one of those categories. So this feels like a good way to keep capturing the good stuff whether I'm on the road or not. Hope you enjoy.

Hi, Ed here:
December 24th seems like a good time to talk about downtime. It's right about now on the calendar where most businesses take a break. Especially the week between Christmas and New Year's. When I had my company we always closed for the week. That meant everyone, not just a few people, could step away and be with family or spend a few days any way they wanted. I also made it a practice to give everyone four weeks of vacation. Everyone.
I wish everyone could and would shut down. I know it is not possible in the world we live in today but time off is essential to health and well-being. If you are a business owner or leader or have influence over people's schedules, please make sure you give your people time to reflect, breathe, and regroup.
My request:
I'd like to know how you fit downtime into your schedule. Please share any tips.
