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.

  • Feel Like a Failure? Great Schooling, Big Ambition yet still can’t make Life Work?

    One of my readers sent me an email which got me thinking about the frustrations of many individuals who have done EVERYTHING RIGHT yet still feel as if their life isn’t working. Yes, they got the degree or degrees in some cases. Yes they got the job with the great salary. Yes they are comfortable…

  • What if All That’s Missing Between You and Your Success is Effort?

    Reading Dan Waldschmidt’s Edgy Conversations and I really had to address just how much effort I was putting into those things that I SAY I want. We’re the talking species. The “let me explain why…” species. The REASONING species. Yet could it just be that we have also become the LAZY species? With “ACME” instant…

  • We All Have a Piece of Good News Inside Us

    For her 13th birthday on the 12 of June 1942, Anne Frank received a book she had shown her father in a shop window a few days earlier. Although it was an autograph book, bound with red-and-white checkered cloth and with a small lock on the front, Frank decided she would use it as a…

  • Are You Down in the Weeds or Up in the Trees?

    Came across this question this morning, in an e-book I downloaded to my kindle last night called Time Management 2.0 by H. Reardon and C. Kane. Got me thinking about how I spend time on stuff that has nothing to do with the things I need to be focusing on. It really doesn’t matter how…

  • Mediocrity is a Killer. Don’t Settle for it!

    A young male on a game site player forum recently posted “So up until now like every other child ever, I thought I was special or had the potential of climbing to the top. But as inevitable as the tides everyone must eventually grow up to realize that, there is nothing you truly excel at…

  • You can’t buy your way out of a problem you behaved your way into…

    The quick-fix. We are all guilty of searching for it. We don’t want to do THE WORK we just want “IT” to change – magically. After which we will sail or ride into the sunset. Newsflash: There are no quick tips, how-to techniques or “you can bet your life on it” tactics that will magically…

  • The Most Powerful Sermon in the World – “Me Too”

    Simple words by writer Anne Lamott yet oh so true. When you’re struggling, when you’re hurting…doubting, questioning, barely hanging on…and someone can identify with you…when someone can look you in the eyes and say, “Me too,” and they actually mean it – it can save you. Indian author Ritu Ghatourey says “some of the most comforting…

  • Progress Calls For An Open Mind

    “If your mind is closed you become stagnant and any talents that you have will decline. By having a closed mind you will put yourself in a mental prison.” This was one of many nuggets that I discovered in Napoleon Hill’s ‘A Year of Growing Rich.’  As I mulled over this quote, I started thinking…

  • The Only Truly Reliable Source of Stability and Security in Business and Life

    We place our faith in other people and the advice they provide. We put our all into companies that promise us employment and a salary at the end of the month. We invest in “sure-win” businesses that promise unheard of returns after just one year. We want to count on something, believe in someone because…
