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.

  • Living your Best Life Now

    We talk about living our best life now but ignore the now, and treat it as though it is a destination waiting somewhere ahead of us… after the right opportunity arrives, after the body changes, after the money settles, after the grief softens, after we finally become some shinier version of ourselves. But life does…

  • Bad Reviews Won’t Kill Your Business, But This One Thing Will

    This week, Kim Kardashian’s new legal drama, All’s Fair — was slammed by critics, panned by viewers, and memed into oblivion just days after launch. That shared cringe when someone we “know” — even through a screen — stumbles publicly. It’s not the bad reviews that make us uncomfortable. It’s what they reveal we’re afraid…

  • Clarity Postponed is Opportunity Missed

    Have you ever found yourself delaying taking action. Perhaps a decision needed to be made, you needed to have an uncomfortable conversation, send an email, pick up the phone and make an important call. Perhaps you call yourself lazy. Maybe you describe yourself as a procrastinator. In a July 13th article, this year, McClean hospital,…

  • Never lose your student mindset

    If I had the opportunity to start over, as in from primary, through secondary and then on to university, I’d be a much better student. I wouldn’t waste time complaining about things I can’t control – like teachers’ personalities, and homework and I’d focus more on learning and being more curious about subjects, even those…

  • Act from alignment

    My belief is that when you are in alignment, things work out, sometimes in ways you can’t explain. Sometimes through some circuitous route you could never have planned yourself. A chance meeting. A name that comes to you at the right time for your business. A spot opens up and it’s the perfect location for…

  • You can’t open doors, if your hands are full

    I’ve done this countless times especially after a supermarket run. I have all these bags, plus my phone, car keys, gate remote AND house keys in hand trying to open my front door. More often than not, something has to give. Usually I have to drop one or all of the bags before I can…

  • Will the Real Entrepreneurs Please Stand Up!

    The Oxford English Dictionary defines an entrepreneur as ‘a person who sets up a business or businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit’. Who comes to mind? Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg or Alan Sugar? Maybe Bill Gates or James Dyson? If we were talking about entrepreneurs in Trinidad and Tobago who would we…

  • You can’t open the door with stuff in your hands…

    We yearn for something better…our heart knows what we desire…yet we are scared to put down what we know no longer works. We stand in front of the door of “next”…new beginnings…a different way of being…hands full of STUFF! We’re afraid to admit that this load has become too heavy to bear so we feel…

  • Make Today Count

    In his book, The Positive Principle Today, writer Norman Vincent Peale recounts the story of Orville Kelly, a newspaperman from Iowa, who went to the hospital at the age of 43 for an examination and was told he had terminal cancer. Of course, he was stunned by this devastating news, as was his wife, Wanda.…

  • Great Teachers are Great Leaders (I’ve had a few in my life)…

    They don’t make teachers like they used to – But then again – I’m no longer in school so what do I know? What I do know for sure is that at Bishop Anstey Junior School there were three teachers that had a significant impact on my life: Mrs Massiah Miss (as far as I…
