Most costly decisions begin with
an inaccurate understanding of the situation.

I help leaders understand what is actually happening before major decisions are made or
resources are invested in solving the wrong problem.

  • From Stagnation to Restoration

    Stagnation and restoration can look deceptively similar from the outside. In both states, movement may slow. Output may dip. The visible signs of progress may not be dramatic. To the untrained eye — and sometimes to our own — they can feel indistinguishable. But internally, they are fundamentally different. Stagnation is not simply stillness. It…

  • Do you believe…

    Regardless of the circumstance, belief ALWAYS has to come first. If you don’t truly believe it’s possible for you, then you won’t invest your time and energy into making it happen. Half of the work to be done is having faith in yourself to show up and do what’s necessary. It is about remaining open…

  • The Time to Plan for 2015 is Now!

    What are you waiting for – till the time is right? It’s never going to be right and nothing is going to happen unless you make a decision. I stole this idea from Chris Brogan, the world’s leading authority on owning the game you most want to win, who says that for some people, planning…

  • Overnight Success REALLY Doesn’t Happen Overnight

    With headlines like “From Zero to $1 Billion in Two Years” describing what happened to Instagram and “They did it! YouTube Bought by Google for $1.65 Billion in Less than Two Years” it’s no wonder that we’re seduced and romanced into thinking about what it would be like in our own lives to go from…

  • What if All That’s Missing Between You and Your Success is Effort?

    Reading Dan Waldschmidt’s Edgy Conversations and I really had to address just how much effort I was putting into those things that I SAY I want. We’re the talking species. The “let me explain why…” species. The REASONING species. Yet could it just be that we have also become the LAZY species? With “ACME” instant…

  • Do you have a high performing team or a group of high performers?

    We’ve heard the acronym before that T-E-A-M means “Together Everyone Achieves More.” The most important word there would be TOGETHER. Team is a word that gets tagged onto other words like work and mate to communicate togetherness, the spirit of the team is described as if describing the spirit of the whole – yet how…
