1:30 More than ever, people need affirmation that we can craft a better world

Where do we turn when we’re overwhelmed?

Just reaching out can change or save a life

We can miss cues that others are desperate for connection

4:30 What’s the greatest gift you can give?

Giving helps the giver as much or more than the receiver

Our moods affect those around us -- mirror neurons

By giving to others, we enable them to give to us

8:00 The more compassion and respect we give ourselves, the more we have to give others

What can we do when we don’t believe we’re good enough?

We aren’t our worst moments

We have to make a conscious decision to focus on the good

14:00 Reframe mistakes as lessons

“You can’t pilot the boat from the wake.” ~Wayne Dyer

20:30 Can we raise ourselves when we’re connected to people who pull us down?

Setting boundaries can bring us closer

Rebuke is validation of the potential to improve

Demonstrating commitment to core values raises the bar for others

When we’re pushovers, we harm everyone

26:00 The power of women to lead

Speaking so that our words will be heard

We don’t have to change; we have to uncover our true selves

32:00 The more we give, the more we receive

“We are what we leave behind”

Context and perspective empowers us to affect genuine change

37:00   The word of the day:  overdetermined

determine, account for, or cause (something) in more than one way or with more conditions than are necessary.

We can’t try to reduce outcomes to a single cause

Rather, balance individual influences in our lives with the multiplicity of factors and outlooks by expanding our perception and contextualizing what we have and what we need to improve
