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.

  • Say “YES” to life

    Saying yes is sometimes difficult. We say things like “…OK I’ll see how things go” or “if is anything I’ll try to come/do what you’ve asked/donate etc.” Saying yes translates into making a commitment that you will feel badly about if/when you renege on your promise. I once heard a presenter say after a sales…

  • The practice of possibility and the possibilities through practice

    That’s impossible! How often does that phrase show up in our daily lives? Even if we are not actually saying it – if we were truthful – we think it – A LOT! “I could never get THAT job” “I could never write like THAT” “I could never learn to play the guitar like THAT…

  • Procrastination…how we die to our true selves daily

    Henry David Thoreau urged us to go confidently in the direction of our dreams and live the life we’ve imagined. Yet we slip so easily into procrastination, like our favorite pair of pyjamas…[ahhhhhh sweet] and it prevents us from putting forth the necessary effort and work needed to be done to channel our goal from…

  • Are you making the best use of everything you know?

    Our knowledge – everything we carry around in our heads – we take for granted. Whenever I share with professionals…”have you ever thought about putting that together as a report?” or “that would make an indispensable little e-book that you could easily sell for $19,” I get in return double rolled eyes and the response,…

  • Dare to let go of the edge of yourself!

    Do you ever feel as if you’ve boxed your own self in? Do you ever feel trapped inside your very own life? Remember “The Truman Show” with Jim Carrey? The movie is framed around the television show “The Truman Show.” Its main character, Truman Burbank, has lived his entire life since before birth in front…

  • From Affirmations to Afformations

    It was the charismatic Tony Robbins that I heard say on an audio tape years ago “Ask a lousy question, you’ll get a lousy answer.” On a trip to NYC in 1997  I saw this little book at Barnes and Noble by Robbins called “Giant Steps – Small Changes to Make a Big Difference –…

  • Meeting Ben…

    I met Ben Zander last Tuesday night. Not in the flesh but through his words in “The Art of Possibility” a book that he collaborated on with his wife Rosamund Stone Zander. Books are precious. They hold all these thoughts and ideas, painting new pictures in our minds and helping us sometimes to re-frame situations…

  • For those who seek happiness

    “If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” – Dalai Lama Sometimes I can be very judgmental. I often try to balance that with being overly critical of myself and my actions. So as I criticize others, I seek to look to myself for any display…

  • The Power of Connection

    We are so uber-connected these days. Technology provides us with so many self serve options that we seem to be connecting to each other less and less. I was talking with a massage therapist who recently took a “Compassionate Touch” course focused on hands-on care for those in later life stages. Some folks showed early…

    Personally this has to be one of the most effective techniques I have tried in keeping a steady focus on my goals and maintaining a high level of personal motivation!
