When We Get Hooked

March 18, 2019 by Seth Rigoletti Leave a Comment

Have you ever been in a conversation and felt like you have suddenly become completely hooked?I don't mean in a good way, rather in a way that you and another person are locked in some kind of emotional conflict that is difficult to pinpoint and harder even to break.Sometimes it is because … [Read more...] about When We Get Hooked

Get A New Story

March 30, 2016 by Seth Rigoletti Leave a Comment

You might not realize it, but you spend a lot of time broadcasting your story to the people in your life.Every time you share that you are "not good at" something like public speaking, taking risks or being courageous, you reinforce a narrative about yourself and how you want people to receive … [Read more...] about Get A New Story

Give ‘Em Space (To Earn Trust)

December 8, 2015 by Seth Rigoletti Leave a Comment

Have you ever been in a situation where you are trying to communicate something important to another person, only to find that the more you talk the less they understand?If your answer is "no" then I'm going to assume that you have never tried to teach a teenager how to drive a car.No matter how … [Read more...] about Give ‘Em Space (To Earn Trust)

Authenticity Takes Hard Work

June 17, 2015 by Seth Rigoletti Leave a Comment

While there is so much talk in business and culture about authenticity (like here, here and here), there is very little talk about what it takes to get it.It's a little like the advice you'd get as a kid before going to a big interview or asking someone out on a date: "Just be yourself."Yes! So … [Read more...] about Authenticity Takes Hard Work

You Have To Go Through It.

June 9, 2015 by Seth Rigoletti Leave a Comment

There is this moment in theater and in film where the actors and the director get together for the first time as a group to read through the script out loud. It is very chummy and people are often excited and a little nervous. They ask questions and talk and talk and read and talk. It's probably the … [Read more...] about You Have To Go Through It.

Your Leaky Face

May 26, 2015 by Seth Rigoletti 1 Comment

Many of you might be unaware that your face is telling a story.Our faces have many muscles and nerves (I'm going to say a gazillion because I am very scientific about these things), and they all work to convey subtle emotions and communicate feelings. Other people are reacting to these emotions … [Read more...] about Your Leaky Face

Be Awesome Today (3 lessons in better presence)

April 13, 2015 by Seth Rigoletti Leave a Comment

Before we get started, let's quickly establish that there is no point in trying to be awesome. Especially since you already are. The act of trying implies that you need to prove something, and that will interfere with your general awesomeness.When we are preparing for a big interview or an … [Read more...] about Be Awesome Today (3 lessons in better presence)

Risking Embarrassment

April 6, 2015 by Seth Rigoletti Leave a Comment

 I always hated to feel embarrassed.There is something existentially threatening about everyone seeing me with my (proverbial) pants down.And over the course of my life I have made choices that helped to avoid that level of embarrassment and always to my detriment. I didn't raise my hand to … [Read more...] about Risking Embarrassment

Take Criticism Like an Artist

March 30, 2015 by Seth Rigoletti Leave a Comment

A few years ago I gave a presentation to the freshmen class of young artists at the Maine College of Art. The purpose of the workshop was to teach them how to talk about their work in a clear, concise and meaningful way so that anyone (not just other artists) could appreciate their vision. While it … [Read more...] about Take Criticism Like an Artist

Captain Kirk vs Mr. Spock

March 2, 2015 by Seth Rigoletti Leave a Comment

In recognition of Leonard Nimoy's recent passing, I decided to write on an underlying tension I see in most companies that require technical experience, that is the tension between our Spocks and our Kirks.The Captain Kirk world is made up of swashbuckling heroes of capitalism who defy the odds … [Read more...] about Captain Kirk vs Mr. Spock
