Believe the People Who Believe in You

October 8, 2018 Karl Bimshas

When you share an idea or a goal with people it can be risky because most will have a negative knee-jerk reaction. Whatever their motivation; protective love or bitter hidden jealousy, many will say or do things to squash your dreams. Then there … [Read more...]

Thankless Roles

October 7, 2018 Karl Bimshas

There are many thankless roles in life, but I take them unconditionally, knowing praise comes in tiny doses. Like a phone call from my daughter, who's "killing it" across the country on her own, or my son making sound ethical decisions. It … [Read more...]

Know Yourself

October 3, 2018 Karl Bimshas

Know Yourself When I directed, I made sure my crew was staffed with capable people who wanted to learn new skills. In my screenplays, I put my characters in predicaments that test their moral compass and force them to take the path that is … [Read more...]

Stepping Forward

September 30, 2018 Karl Bimshas

  I am not without fear, but I have a knowing. It's not as clear as I'd like, but my inner guide assures me I'm heading in approximately the right direction. A fog of uncertainty obscures the way, and I can only see scant steps before me. … [Read more...]

Do You Think You Are Amazing?

September 24, 2018 Karl Bimshas

There's really only one person who matters who has to think you're amazing. Yourself. It's nice when others think you're amazing because it feeds your ego. What really sucks is when someone you think is fantastic doesn't think anything of you, … [Read more...]

It’s All A Gift

September 3, 2018 Karl Bimshas

Did you wake up grateful? For what? For waking up. For each breath. For the ability to see and read. For shelter and food. For fingernails and eyelids. For a thousand reasons … but just pick three and relish in them. The odds of you being … [Read more...]

Don’t Be Afraid to Lead

July 15, 2018 Karl Bimshas

I come across a lot of capable people who are afraid to lead. Frequently they are blind to the fact that they are already leading. By having a vision, acting upon it, and gathering resources to help fulfill it, they are well on their way. It … [Read more...]

You’ve Got This

April 17, 2018 Karl Bimshas

Great leaders do not get that way overnight. They face obstacles and the temptation to take the easy way out. Unlike lousy leaders, they do not succumb when things get difficult. Effective leaders persevere through crisis and stay fixated on their … [Read more...]

You Don’t Need Permission to Lead

March 8, 2018 Karl Bimshas

You don't need permission to lead. You need a purpose. Don't wait to be anointed or appointed. Lead from where you are. If the purpose is important to you, if the timing and circumstances are right, you must rise. Prepare, knowing you … [Read more...]

Know Why Privately

February 20, 2016 Karl Bimshas

The question 'why?', like alcohol, is not inherently good or bad on its own. For some, it can help foster celebration. For others, it can mask pain. It can be used in moderation, abused, or believe it or not, never touched. People put too much … [Read more...]

Leadership Calling

July 17, 2015 Karl Bimshas
