Whenever we experience a loss as a pre-cursor to any transition you may ask, Why is this happening to me?

Why is this happening to me?

WHO is allowing this to happen to me?

Men, I have a better question for you.

What is it time for you to let go of?

Watch this video and learn a better question.

 

Watch my video below and have a discussion with your closest buddies.

You know, the men who got your back and will be there for your wife and kids. The friends who will initiate the first smile and laugh that life goes-on from your wife and kids. The small circle of friends who will take turns dancing with your wife to your favorite song. The men who will equip your kids when they are old enough to leave the house and start their life.

Here are some questions you may not have answers to...

1. Burial or cremated? Location of where you want to be laid to rest?

2. Viewing of your body or not?

3. Wake or  funeral?

4. What songs will be played?

5. What pictures displayed?

6. Who do you want to dance with your wife to your favorite song? 

7. Who will body-slam the dude who gets caught-up in the emotion and tries to dance with your wife?

8. Indoor or outdoor?

9. Who will speak? Planned or Un-planned?

10. Alcohol or no? If a wake-who are the chosen few to attend one last toast and lighting of a candle in memory of you?

11. Surprise last thoughts video by you or not?

12. What symbolic stories and "things" do you want shared?

You get the picture...now watch the video.

Imagine you are preparing to leave for a family vacation right after a routine physical check-up.

You go home and are prepared to leave for vacation when the phone rings. Your wife answers the phone and is told to report back to the healthcare facility, it is a diagnosis of breast cancer.

At the same time, you are presented with an unbelievable job promotion.

Do you reject the job promotion or accept?

Listen to Jeff Rivers share how he and his wife faced cancer and came back with a diagnosis of personal happiness and professional success.

Men, are you in transition?

What does that word transition mean to you?

My definition of transition is moving towards or away from something.

Join me on my video blog update as I discuss the three phases of any transition:

1. An ending.
2. The Crisis of Belief Zone.
3. A new beginning.

A men@pause seminar friend heard me discussing our family ritual of Friday supper club gatherings at our house. So, I decided to share with you.

Join me on this video I shot yesterday as I spend time with my family and friends (-minus my mother and our other daughter Sierra).

 

Tim Berry, Founder of Palo Alto Software writes a great post on the changing roles of fathers here.

Tim is one of my entrepreneur mentors. Business visionary, husband, father, business poet, naturalist, and lover of all things Oregon-I admire him.

I am honored to also be a contributing author on his blog.

1. What is your version of success as a father?

2. How will you know if you are successful?

3. If you had to prepare a job description for being a father to your children, what would it include?

4. As a business leader you establish qualitative and quantitative objective standards for those on your team. What would one of your "father goals or objectives" look like with this standard?
