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.

  • Discipline and Order versus What Feels Right

    Trusting your gut—or intuition—is a form of rapid, subconscious processing that draws on past experiences, patterns, and accumulated knowledge. It is most reliable in situations where expertise has been built over time, in emergencies, or in contexts like lie detection. Physically, it can manifest as a subtle pull or, at times, a gut-churning sensation, often…

  • What Really Qualifies Someone to Lead a Country?

    Politics today often feels like theatre — surface over substance. We see leaders rewarded for sharp soundbites, meme-worthy moments, or the ability to rally “their base.” But beneath the show, something deeper is at play. Jonathan Haidt, in The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, explains why politics splits us.…

  • The Universe says “YES” to EVERY request

    Do you sometimes experience instances in your life – like right after you’ve made a decision to do something – and almost like magic – a solution or idea or approach shows up – just a few hours later – in your inbox, or on the television or from a conversation with a friend? And…

  • Sometimes you have to be selfish & do ‘it’ for you

    The word “selfish” has always carried with it a negative connotation. In fact, the dictionary defines it as “concerned chiefly with one’s own personal profit or pleasure”. Other words for selfish include inconsiderate, thoughtless, grudging, uncharitable, self-indulgent and greedy. Most times we find ourselves being described as such when we say no or when we…

  • Preparing Yourself for ‘The Shift’ when Facing a Crossroad

    You are standing at a crossroads in your life — again! You’re not quite sure how you got here and you’re definitely not sure which way to go or how to get to “there” — wherever “there” is. Life has an amazing way of bringing us repeatedly to this place of confusion and dis-satisfaction. It’s…

  • What the story of Pinnochio tells us about intuition

    Pulling strings and pushing buttons seems so ‘normal’ these days. Rather than try to foster healthy relationships many people focus their energies on either manipulating or plain old pissing others off intentionally. As I pulled together my thoughts for this post, I came across this song by a group called the Dead Kennedys and their…

  • Be still and listen to yourself

    The one person we all know well in the Bible is Job. Job represents for many life’s hardships and all that is bad that could possibly happen to a human being in this lifetime. Of course Job’s story is one of hope where in spite of all his losses and afflictions, he comes out of…

  • Don’t get in your own way

    I am always amazed how things flow when I am not getting in my own way. Reminds me of God’s response after Job’s rant questioning Job about  his capabilities and who was really behind all creation. The truth is none of us can create the seasons, snow, thunder, lightning, day, night, light… What is interesting…
