    A post by Lem Usita about people who don’t know how to stand in line

  • Postmodern Identity Formation

    In about a 100 words….right? The postmodern perspective (if you even believe there is such a thing) would say that there isn’t a stable identity. A postmodern epistemology declares that there is nothing that is fixed or stable thus identity cannot be a stable and fixed structure. Rather, it is…

  • Binding of Selves

    Identity is the binding of different aspects of self.

  • The Identity Formation of Rampage Jackson

    It was pretty fascinating to listen to Quinton Jackson talk about his UFC alter-ego Rampage Jackson.  He knows Rampage.  He talks about Rampage in third person – not in a way that is not integrated into who he is, but in a way that he knows that he can’t control…

  • Emotionally Frozen

    I read a lot.  I love reading and learning.  I have been doing a lot of writing lately – mostly dissertation and research writing. Today, I was reading something and came across this phrase, “emotionally frozen.”  I can’t even explain it to you, but it just jumped off the page…

  • Family and Identity

    Whether you have a close family or a disconnected family, it’s impossible to separate your identity from your family.  In fact – no matter what you’re family is like – strong, dysfunctional (and every family is), big family, small family, they shape your identity. Whether you like it or not;…

  • LL33: A Picture of Your Words

    Once again, these are leadership lessons that I’m learning – my leadership lessons. At every organization, there is a stated mission statement, and then the mission statement that is carried out.  There is the vision that is carefully crafted and branded on all of your print material – then there’s…

  • Blend Science and Art

    It’s so sad to me that we have to Blend Science and Art.  It’s not sad that we have to blend it, but that it was “de-blended” in the first place.  I mean, you can’t really blame anyone for it – although we could point to a few things.  At…

  • Identity and Yours

    Your identity is yours.  But someone else can take it and use it if they get to it first.  I asked a friend this week – who has his @firstlast name as his twitter name – if he was the also the same “firstlast” with a 1 at the end…

  • Identity Work

    Working on your identity is deep soul work.  On the one hand, identity work deals with the clothes that you wear, the positions that you have, and the way that you project your identity.  That’s the easy stuff. On the other hand, identity is the reforming of the deep and…
