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.

  • Are you irreplaceable?

    I was never a fan of mass marketing or advertising. I always felt that the more we could customize messages to our potential clients the better we would do. I loved the advent of one to one marketing and the evolution of customizing digital print. It meant you could send a letter with someone’s name…

  • It’s more than just capability

    Hiring is never straightforward. Time is spent fine-tuning job descriptions and ironing out contractual details. The focus is usually on qualifications—degrees, years of experience, technical skills. But what’s often missing from the equation is clarity: how well someone knows themselves, how they make decisions, how grounded they are in their values. Someone may tick every…

  • Better educated does not mean “smarter”

    Are you contemplating hiring outside help to run/fix something specifically in your business? Dan Kennedy suggests considering the following:

    …to get to the essential. How do you determine what is essential to you and your business? Commit to creating some transformation in the world. Transformation that leverages your skills and talents. Then start talking about it…and don’t stop. JASON LEISTER In the book of Ichigo Ichie, authors Garcia and Miralles share in the chapter…

  • Saying “no” to opportunities that don’t quite fit

    It doesn’t matter the industry – we all take on jobs and projects that seem too good to be true. We are often tempted by immediate guaranteed income versus what we say we’re really working towards. When faced with such an opportunity, you need to tune into what your instincts are saying. Are they telling…

  • Competency without alignment = Burnout

    You have the vision, the framework, your plan of action. You design a roadmap for execution and you determine criteria for measuring impact. This is clear, crisp and linear. Yet things still fall apart. Some say competency might be the missing link; but I’d argue that competency without alignment just leads to burnout! In my…

  • Be heard AND seen…

    If you don’t stand for something, you’ll tolerate everything. Think of those times when you have deferred to others who were louder, appeared more ‘in the know’ than you. Perhaps you’ve encountered a bully or three, who wouldn’t even let you speak – your point of view lost in their bravado. Yet it is important…

  • Stay true to the voice within

    What are the questions you ask yourself as you pursue or are in the process of building and growing your business? Are you wondering whether what you’re doing will make you rich? What are the choices you make regarding your marketing and promotions? Is it based on how many potential likes you’ll get? Are you…

  • Do you believe…

    Regardless of the circumstance, belief ALWAYS has to come first. If you don’t truly believe it’s possible for you, then you won’t invest your time and energy into making it happen. Half of the work to be done is having faith in yourself to show up and do what’s necessary. It is about remaining open…

  • Your Work Is Meant to Be Enjoyable for You and Helpful to Others

    The idea that we can’t have the job we truly want, let alone experience joy while doing it, runs rampant in our world. We subject ourselves to unhealthy working conditions for eight plus hours a day at the end of which we feel tired. Not fulfilled…not feeling as if we’ve contributed or made a real…
