Conflict and Consequences - What's in the Cards

 


The current turmoil associated with geopolitical matters on university campuses is not Counterculture 2:0. That is the message coming up in the pulling of Tarot cards. Above is the symbol in the cards for conflict.

Back then in the late 1960s and early 1970s leadership in higher education had essentially been blindsided. In most cases they caved to the demands of the protestors. Penalities inflicted were later rescinded. Constituencies for special interests felt embolded.

That was then. Now, whether it had been Harvard or more recently Columbia the ethos is different. Congress has gotten into the act. So has local law enforcement. There is even chatter of lawsuits filed against protestors for misdeeds such as blocking business traffic. 

The Tarot warns against the illusion that one's cause is right and society will come to agree. Meanwhile it is dangerous to assume that behavior will be given a free pass.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

Yes, There Are Content Workers - Many of Them Are Freelancers

"A majority of workers feel they’re fairly paid, but at the top of the list are independent workers across all industries, according to a recent survey of 2,500 American workers. The findings suggest that while earning what you think you’re worth is important, so is having some power over when and how much you work for the money." -  The Wall Street Journal, June 26, 2023 Today we call them "freelancers." Among them is Paul Chaney whose field is communications. On the all-important LinkedIn Profile , Chaney actually uses that term: freelancer . Not so long ago, those watching his back would have nudged him to go by the moniker "consultant." Recently, Chaney had me as a guest on a podcast about how the over-50 (who, of course, encounter so much ageism), can freelance. It received an award from Media Dimensions. Here you listen to that podcast and perhaps find your own way to freelancing.  Contentment with one's work has become the new American Dream.

Business in Crazy Times - Let in the Sun

Image
  " ... 54-year-old Rhodes Scholar [Bob Sternfels] had  finished a nose ahead  of McKinsey’s sunny digital practice chief Rodney Zemmel, who had taken the election all the way to a run-off." -  Financial Times,  February 5, 2024  You read right. The lightness-of-being Zemmel almost did become the next leader of McKinsey. Admittedly, in addition to his "sunny" disposition, Zemmel's knowledge base and skills are in high demand. As you can see in this  interview,  he is a global leader in the applications and implications of generative AI. However, the added value the Zemmel kinds of "sun stars" bring into an organization - especially those in upheaval such as McKinsey - is not expertise per se. It's optimism.  In contrast are the high-gravitas leaders who have bonded with went very wrong in the past. That is, they are the reverse of the Tarot's Walking Away Card. The message of that card is the commitment to head toward - even given the uncertain
