Lately, I've been contemplating how to prompt action through small gestures... that's when the concept of a blog called "Tale Seeker" struck me.Unlike platforms that showcase individuals thrust into the limelight by the media or featured in newspaper headlines, Tale Seeker will not not focus on daunting tales of people celebrated for saving lives or accumulating vast wealth.If I were to talk about such individuals, most wouldn't be prompted to think, "Hmm, maybe I can do something similar." Simply because its too far out of reach and too much to contemplate for oneself in the short term.However, reading a story about someone who leaves kind notes on plane windows, greets strangers warmly, or plants flowers in others' gardens may have a very different impact. By highlighting the profound impact of these small yet meaningful actions, the intention is for readers to contemplate, "Maybe I could engage in a similar gesture."That's the essence of Tale Seeker — to spotlight actions that aren't so grand that they discourage action, but rather, are modest enough to inspire action.Every little action we take matters because it's these small deeds that ultimately create the most significant, lasting impact.So, what small act are you currently engaged in? Or what small act could you embark upon today?

How to Embarrass Yourself in Public101

Pleased to announce and share this book I produced for my client, @judithparkerharris of @worldwideentertainment, a film company with 30 titles in vintage cult monster and sci fi, including the 50's cult classic, "The Blob!"I took a 20+ year old hand out, created for their former coaching business, analyzed it, and crafted a strategy to flesh it out to become a self-help book. The premise is very clever: "Secrets of the Seven Villains" compares movie villains (not super heroes, but characters who misbehave and mistreat others) to the negative self talk that hold us back from being our best selves. https://lnkd.in/gcpCiqpq
