ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK


 
 

Allowing the Hee debacle ‘a disgrace,’ says official with the FCC staradvertiser.com/s?action=login

Wonder what ALBERT HEE had on the FCC. Maybe a better question is WHO does ALBERT HEE have IN the FCC. @FCC @AjitPaiFCC

That's how they work it. Then you'll see gifts start to fly outa the FCC's wazoo, in the direction of HAWAII. Then for those who know what to look for, it'll appear they're working together. And for all intents and purposes....

 State Rep. Romy Cachola says former colleagues on the Hono­lulu City Council accepted the same meals that Ethics Commission staff accuse him of taking illegally.

 And if that's the case, Cachola says, their actions collectively could call into question the legality of some crucial decisions the Council has made, including ones that cleared the way for the city's $5.26 billion rail project.

Cynthia Yamasaki is stepping down from her post as center director for the YWCA of Oahu’s Patsy T. Mink Center for Business and Leadership, which coaches women in business, to focus on her own life coaching business, she told PBN on Wednesday.

Her last day at the YWCA of Oahu is March 21, and the nonprofit is recruiting for a replacement.
While it’s a new focus, it is an established dream. She launched her life coaching business in 2007 part-time while she balanced a finance career.

But that has been on hold since late 2012, when the YWCA of Oahu recruited her from First Hawaiian Bank to oversee the launch of its new business resource center. More than a year later, now that the Patsy T. Mink Center for Business and Leadership is up and running, she wants to turn her side business into her primary focus.

“I’m a gap-filler,” she said. “I like to fill gaps, and I have some other ventures I’m planning that are too early to share.”

Her life coaching business, called  will help professionals of all industries and career-levels to avoid burnout and achieve a sense of purpose and passion. To live up to her own words, she is planning to travel to California soon to learn from a worldwide life coach.

“Being a coach keeps me accountable to myself, and I want to take myself to the next level,” she said. “And that is what I want to teach others; You have to continue your self-development.”

Her consulting business doesn’t have walls, and she plans to meet with individuals or small groups at their homes or preferred public meeting spaces.

“When you are fully aligned with your purpose, taking care of yourself in all aspects, you are able to give and be a better leader,” she added.

Meanwhile, the Patsy T. Mink Center for Business and Leadership has been a big hit and is in expansion mode, as she told PBN in December.
