Greystone by the Numbers- December 2015
Greystone by the Numbers (our last 2015 edition) is an admittedly convoluted way to introduce you to another side of our team! These brief “interviews” begin by putting everyone’s name in a numbered list and a number randomizer is used to pick 3 “chosen ones” each month. After those 3 have been chosen, they select 5 numbers from 1 […]
Lending a Hand at Urban Peak
One of the initiatives I love here at Greystone is volunteer time off (VTO). Staff members are given up to 3 days of leave to volunteer at organizations of their choice. It’s one of my duties to spearhead this initiative. It can be hard for some staff to take a whole day off to volunteer, […]
Office Time vs. Vacation Time
I’ve heard it said that the ancient Greeks had two words or concepts for time: Chronos and Kairos. Chronos time is the never-ending march of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries and millennia. Chronos is unrelenting and unforgiving.

Giggles, Kids and Soccer Balls
When my friend asked me to help her coach her son’s U5 soccer team, I wasn’t sure I wanted to make the commitment to go to soccer practice once a week and give up part of every Saturday for a few months. Then, she told me if we didn’t coach they wouldn’t be able to […]

Re-Branding and Type II Fun
Have you ever heard of Type II fun? It’s essentially the kind of experience that’s rough/ annoying/ interminable/ fatiguing/ exhausting in the moment, but then leads to something valuable/ beautiful/ glorious in the end. It’s an experience that’s fun after the fact. It’s fun to have done it… to have finished it. As we’ve shared […]
