Getting on the Same Wavelength

‘Karen and Jay share thoughts on the magic of two minds coming together in positive spirit!’

When two people get together, sometimes there’s a synergy that magically just seems to happen. For instance, have you ever felt like you were so much ‘on the same wavelength’ with someone that you felt you knew what they were thinking? Even knowing what they were going to say before they said it? And vice-versa. Finishing each other’s sentences? When this happens, it’s as if two minds have come together and created a third mind. More powerful than either of the two minds on their own.


It reminds of a story I once heard about a little band called ‘The Rolling Stones.’ Perhaps you’ve heard of them. (Just kidding) For over 50 years, ‘The Stones have been entertaining people around the world with a sound and show only they know how to put on. Yet what is it exactly that has made them such a mainstay around the world? Well as Keith Richards put it, it’s their synergy. He elaborates for example, that he knew exactly what his band mate Charlie Watts was doing with the simple movement of his left hand. If they feel like a song needs a little pick up, the two will look at each other and “pick up the pace.” It’s almost telepathic. Almost.


Yet what few people may know is that even now, 50 years later, the band still practices together for 2 months before any tour. Their synergy comes from not only being individually talented, but working together to make sure that their innate chemistry continues to grow. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Mick Jagger shared that while each member of the band has their specific role in the band, spending the time practicing means they can leverage their roles to create something more magical than they might on their own.


It’s rare in life we meet people who we just intrinsically connect with. There might even be times that we overlook a synergy, personally or professionally, because we’re scared to act on it. But as the Rolling Stones demonstrate, it’s that synergy that can create something pretty special. So, the next time you might feel a spark with someone, don’t ignore it, explore it. When two minds come together, there is an opportunity to experience the magical synergy of creating yet a third more powerful and amazing mind!

Positive Profile of the Week: Jeb Bradley - Looking for Common Ground

This week, we are delighted to be highlighting a dedicated public servant and true leader in the Granite State – Senator Jeb Bradley. When it comes to bringing people together, there is no one more effective and accomplished than Jeb!


Previously a State Representative, Bradley served five terms in the State House, where he chaired the Science, Technology, and Energy Committee.


Following John E. Sununu's decision to run for U.S. Senate, Bradley won the Congressional seat after a competitive eight-person primary race. After two successful terms in Washington, Jeb came back to New Hampshire and was elected to the State Senate, representing his hometown of Wolfeboro and the surrounding area. Previously serving as Senate Majority Leader, Jeb currently holds the #1 job – Jeb Bradley - Senate President.


As President of the Senate, Bradley shoulders significant responsibility not only for the Senate but also for the state itself. Unlike other states with a Lieutenant Governor, New Hampshire's second-in-command is the President of the Senate. Moreover, the job of Senate President is a challenging one. Given its twenty-four member composition where compromise and finding common ground is the name of the game, it’s a role that requires effective leadership, attentive listening, and problem-solving.


Beyond his political career, Jeb is a man of many interests. An avid outdoorsman, he has explored New Hampshire's natural beauty through hiking, skiing, and kayaking. Bradley's remarkable achievement includes completing 'The Grid,' where hikers ascend each of the 48 White Mountain 4,000-footers each month of the year, totaling 576 summits. His environmental advocacy unites people from various backgrounds to protect the state's natural treasures.


In addition to his outdoor pursuits, Jeb Bradley is a devoted family man. Together with his wife, Phyllis, they have raised three children, while instilling, strong family values and fostering community involvement. Jeb, we thank you for your significant contributions and most of all for your unwavering leadership in truly bringing people together!
