When You Betray Yourself – It’s ALWAYS Going to be Difficult to Lead
In a presentation I did about three years ago, I talked to the group about removing the mask. We all wear masks and perhaps we think that sometimes a mask is necessary, but every time we don a mask, we betray a part of who we REALLY are. Almost all the companies I consult with…

If Your Boss Told You “Today is Your Last Day,” How Prepared are You for this News?
Many of us dream of leaving our jobs…wishing. Whenever we get ticked off about something at work we fantasize about handing our boss this letter (taken from the prologue in Chris Guillebeau’s book – The $100 Startup: “Dear boss, I’m writing to let you know that your services are no longer required. Thanks for everything,…

What is Your Capacity for Change?
Whenever I happen on a thought or idea, something I feel is important to delve into and further expand I usually Google it to see what others are thinking; if anyone is thinking along the same lines as me and if there are any identifiable trends. I never assume that I KNOW everything nor do…

You are Unhappy with your Employees; they are Unhappy with WHERE they Work AND You…Now what?
“If they’re not happy with how things are run here well they know where the door is!” “They should be happy that they have a job in these trying times!” “Dem does never see when anything going good! Make one mistake though and you’ll see! Is hell on earth!” “Yuh see me, doh ask me…

Why is it so Hard Sometimes to Make a Decision?
I have been asking myself this question a lot lately…and I usually add at the end “especially when you know that the choice is going to benefit you positively?” Exercising is a no-brainer. Making better food choice…OBVIOUS. Spending more time in the areas that you SAY are important to you. That makes sense doesn’t it?…

Is Success in Life and Business the Result of Heredity, Luck, Money or some Combination of these?
Thinking this way certainly explains a lot of the results we see in the world. The disproportionate numbers between those who have and those who don’t is staggering. We are unable to see any major differences between us and them except that they were born into money, they got lucky or they were placed in…

You’re SO MUCH MORE than what You’ve Settled For
Are you being true to your life and your desires? I have always been pained by the fact that far too many of us live lives below what we are capable of living. We are frustrated in businesses that suck our energy and deprive us of joy. We choose death in the midst of our…

The Unrest Within isn’t Necessarily NEGATIVE
I read this recently from a book I’m re-reading called “The Sacred YES” by Rev Deborah L. Johnson: Way too often you mis-characterize the unrest within you as negativity. The worry, the anxieties, the doubts, the trepidation that you feel are automatically assumed to be, and therefore are dismissed as negativity. We tend to run…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
When the stakes are high, DON’T MOVE without CLARITY
You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.
