Today, the first day of summer, we plant seeds for a movement. A
movement that encourages people to Be the Sun, Not the Salt. A movement
inspired by executive coach, Dr. Harry Cohen who after years of coaching
and encouraging people to do and be their best, is hopeful to spread
this practice to as many people as possible. We give you Be the Sun, Not
the Salt!

Be the Sun, Not the Salt is dedicated to connecting people through the
deliberate practice of heliotropic behaviors. Found in nature, the
heliotropic effect is the tendency for all living things to be drawn to
the energy which sustains life. From single cell organisms to plants, to
human beings. It’s why a plant placed on a window sill tilts toward the
sun. Like plants, people are drawn to those who energize them. Some
people are like the sun on our leaves….and others are like salt water
poured on our roots! One sustains us, the other stresses us out! Be the
Sun, Not the Salt hopes to encourage positive behaviors rooted in
authenticity, dependability, kindness and so much more.

Being heliotropic leads to greater success and fulfillment, and allows
us to connect with people more effectively. It is that simple, and yet
that profound. Be the Sun, Not the Salt is all about the moment to
moment choices. We must continuously and intentionally choose to Be the
Sun, Not the Salt, and leave those around us with an afterglow, not an
aftertaste.
