Lisa Gable: “I've had an incredible opportunity to do turnarounds in business, government, and philanthropy. I started my career during the Reagan administration at the age of nineteen. I was at the Pentagon during the Cold War at the age of twenty-one. And then moved over to the White House. So you can’t have a greater inflection point than the end of the Cold War. When I moved out of Washington, DC I went to Arizona, Taiwan, and then California. I stayed in Silicon Valley for fifteen years and I met my husband there. Jim worked for Apple. I had left Intel Corporation and started my own company. We married two years later. We’ve been married for twenty-seven years, during which time we adopted our daughter and she is now working on her profession in Texas. Jim and I have similar work histories, we understand the world of politics and philanthropy because that has been a core area where our families have invested. So, we come to life with a desire to value differences. Even though we may have certain opinions, we focus a great deal on finding the good in people. We identify a place where we agree with another person in order to build a relationship. The reality and quality of life comes down to people in our personal relationships.” Have a listen as I interview my special guest, Former US Ambassador, Lisa Gable.

#3 We Know Everything w/Dorrit Karlsen Heart Guide
Dorrit Karlsen Heart Guide says, “We know EVERYTHING, it’s inside our DNA, no need to Google.” I say, “As women, we get all up in our heads and get all crazy.” We get caught in what author Steena Marie calls Thought Loops. The things we have in our heads, those thoughts, are something that we have picked up from everywhere. It’s learned behavior. In today's society we are bombarded with static noise and we forget to listen within. We go to therapy and expect a therapist to figure out what we want, rather than meditating and listening to our own voice.
