Leave Your Mark

This Sunday Re-Marks post is all about giving unconditionally. In this day and age, we are all too often attached to the outcome of our give or the return on investment.  If we start simply by exploring our own sharing, and our own gift, we grow.  Growth is our purpose on this planet, not to get.  Once we discover this, life get's a whole lot more interesting.

This week's Sunday Re-Marks is a little ode to my old team. The 2008-2009 season was my last year in the NHL. I chose to retire at the end of that season and move on to other things I wanted to experience. I was blessed to see the dawning of a future Hall of Fame goalie.  I knew then he would be something special one day. I watched him in his first NHL All-Star game the year that began the Habs 100th anniversary celebration. To have been a part of this great organization was a blessing, to have witnessed the beginning of number 31's career was something special: World Juniors Gold, Calder Cup Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist, One goal left to accomplish. I wish Carey, the team, and my good friends, Graham, Pat, Steamer, and Gerv, the best of luck in the Stanley Cup Finals, you all deserve a special outcome.

This is such an important episode. Every parent, every coach, every young athlete should hear this episode and understand how easily our children can fall prey to evil.  There are so many great youth coaches out there working hard to see our children find joy and growth in play, but there are also some terrible individuals we must all work to eliminate and remove from our sports system.  No child should ever live in fear, especially while playing a sport they love.  Listen to this episode and please share it with all who may listen.  Thank you, Allison!If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston.

This episode is a return after a few weeks' absences to discuss the idea of starting from a place of kindness, consideration, and compassion when interacting with others.  Instead of standing in judgment, or reacting with anger or hate, begin by trying to understand. Being curious, asking questions, and becoming informed is the most important part of creating an opinion or a reaction.

Maren has a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and currently helps organizations understand the intimate connection between innovation and contextual social emotions.   Growing up in Finland among forests and paper mills, she developed an early interest in how things are made and how they work.  Her formative career experiences included early management roles in corporate and industrial settings, and Maren was the first woman on the executive committee of a large manufacturing organization.  While raising a family, she became an “accidental homeschooler” for 6 years, which led to an abiding interest in learning in all its forms. In 2019, she completed her Ph.D. Her research focused on how context influences creative thinking, and her work on gendered attrition from the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, known as STEM has earned several awards.  She has recently earned certifications in psychological safety and in fostering healthy emotional culture

In this Episode, Dom Gauthier and I go deep on things that support an athlete's longevity in a sport. It's not always about bigger, faster, stronger, but also how long you can stay in the game.  If you're not playing, you're not contributing, and you're not creating success. You can be the fittest, fastest, or strongest in the game, but if you're in the clinic instead of on the field of play, it's all for not.  Enjoy this episode and if you do, please leave a rating and a comment!If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston.

This Episode is a Sunday Re-Marks and I use a few personal examples of where I've chosen what may not be the conventional decision or socially referenced decision in my life in order to live a more fulfilling life.  Are you driving your bus, or are you a passenger?

Our official 200th Episode features a former Navy SEAL Commander, Rich Diviney. He completed more than 13 overseas deployments – 11 of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan. During his time as the officer in charge of training for a specialized command, he reworked the selection and assessment program to identify key performance attributes rather than just skills which allowed for a more effective and constructive explanation of the success and failure of the candidates. Most importantly, it allowed the command to put together the highest performing team possible. Additionally, he spearheaded the creation of a directorate that fused physical, mental, and emotional disciplines. He led his small team to create the first-ever “Mind Gym” that helped special operators train their brains to perform faster, longer, and better in all environments — especially high-stress ones. Since retirement in early 2017, Rich has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant with the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute and Sim
