Episode Description

We see it around us every day. And, yes, we've been that person.

The one who wants something so badly we'll take it any way we can get it. Including hoping the person or organization we're up against, our competition has a really bad day.

But, is that really winning? Is that what it's all about? No matter the "objective score," will it make us feel the way we want to feel?

Or, will it lead to a paper win, but a hollow heart?

Beating someone else's bad day isn't the same as stepping into your best.

What if you could go about it differently? What if you could reframe winning on both a deeper and larger scale?

What if you could not only win, but change the zero-sum structure of most games in a way that elevated not only you, but the human condition.

That's what this week's GLP Riff is all about.

Hey, we've personally been there. I believe that every marriage has untapped ability to create an abundant life & it has a lot more to do with how you think and act than how much money you have.Project "We Thrive" is my attempt to help couples take their first steps to crafting their version of the good life. Good Morning Ngoc Ha GoodMorningNgocHa Je m’appelle Isaline, et si tu es ici c’est probablement que tu me connais déjà et surtout que tu connais mon projet de partir an en volontariat en Asie.En effet, j’ai quitté mon poste à Paris pour devenir Coach dans un Life Project Center de Hanoï pour l’association LP4Y, afin d’accompagner une équipe d'une quinzaine de jeunes femmes issues des minorités responsables d'une activité micro-économique qui fonctionne comme une boulangerie. Pendant un an je vais grandir auprès des populations locales tout en contribuant au développement des plus délaissés. Pour documenter cette expérience, j’ai eu envie de me lancer le défi de faire un podcast.Ayant déjà vécu à l’étranger je sais déjà que je ne suis pas une bonne rédactrice de newsletter, mais le format podcast me parle plus. J’aime l’idée de vous raconter mon quotidien directement dans vos oreilles.
