The importance of writing stuff down
Nowadays with the Internet and email, writing, as with a pen or pencil in ones hand seems so archaic, so farfetched – “write it down?” you ask incredulously? Yes start a journal…start writing stuff down. Richard Branson keeps notebooks upon notebooks of his ideas, thoughts and other observations daily. He is never without a notebook.…

Expected Pain vs. Unwelcome Pain
Today I was certain which came first. First I had the egg and then a couple of hours later – pain reared its head – searing blinding pain. I didn’t know if I was going or coming. Every time I thought “OK, it’s over” a new wave of pain ensued. Of course when I set…

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…

Maintaining the Mask
We all wear masks. Some of us never let our guard down. Many of us never let people into our lives. Sad. While I’m not gung-ho about wearing your heart on your sleeve and revealing your innermost secrets to any Tom, Dick or Harry I am in full agreement that every human being should have…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed

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
