You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.

When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.

  • 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…

  • How we enter each day matters…

    We all know today’s the first day in the new year. However every day that we get up to experience a new day, is an opportunity to recommit and reconnect to who we are, what we are doing and why. Rituals have been helpful to me in so far as centering me at the beginning…

  • Don’t sacrifice your truth because you’re afraid of conflict

    Behaviour Geneticist Kathryn Paige Harden recently shared an exchange between her 6 year old and her 8 year old. Her 6 year old was working on a bead design and asked: “Do you want to help me?” Her 8 year old responded: “Yes. Do you want me to follow your direction or give ideas?” Dr.…

  • Are you failing in business or just playing it safe?

    Yesterday I talked a bit about why businesses fail but the failure I’m addressing today is more about outlook, perspective or interpretation. What is failure really? That you tried something and it didn’t work? In our pursuit of success we catastrophize failure every step of the way yet each labeled failure is a stepping stone…

  • There are more unsolved problems today than ever before…

    And this despite the numerous books, lectures, programs, TikTok and YouTube videos being produced in the “How to” genre. This also means that there are numerous opportunities for solo professionals, consultants and larger service based organizations to provide solutions for these problems that still exist. Don’t get confused into thinking that in your particular area,…

  • How to find joy and life in your life…daily

    At one point on my journey, I spoke a lot about ‘finding ones voice’. It was an important conversation to have because I found myself so often dialing back, and not fully expressing how I felt. This occurred in many situations. Some serious, others casual, but regardless of the situation, what I was fully aware…

  • How do we escape what we’ve been told and taught, sold and bought?

    I was leaning into a recurring feeling today. It’s a regular visitor this feeling…and it’s never good. It surfaces thoughts of unworthiness and inadequacy; feeling less than and incapable. And then it occurred to me that this feeling is in fact a habit. It arrives right on time, almost every day, just before I start…

  • If you don’t have this, your business is as good as dead!

    Recently I spoke about the importance of understanding what our customers need along each step of their buying journey. Customers need to KNOW, LIKE and TRUST you BEFORE they buy from you. This happens, sometimes subconsciously, other times their decisions are conscious ones – either way, this needs to happen FIRST. In the late eighties,…

  • Stop treating customers as if they were one-dimensional

    The headline in a September 28th article in the Economist reads: Customer service is getting worse—and so are customers The opening paragraph of this article written by Schumpeter (here is an explanation about how this column got its name) addresses both the provision of service, and those receiving it. Rare is the company today that…

  • Who you are is so much more than one personality test!

    I have been fascinated my entire life, by what makes us who we are and how does that affect our life experience? I am doing a sign language class at the Cascade School for the Deaf. Yesterday I shared an observation with my teacher: signing wasn’t just about knowing what sign represents which word. If…
