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.

  • What do you do if your Leaders are Crooked?

    When I was in the print industry there were some advertising agencies that I could never get work from. Rumors were that the purchasers were taking bribes and the company I worked for was not prepared to do business that way. I never had any proof of same but occasionally such a person would vacate…

  • Reconnecting with yourself…Truly Connecting with others…

    Detachment is the easy way out to not FEELING anything. You look on, don’t get involved, and the moment passes without you in it. Play it safe. Stay on the sidelines. Feel no pain. Feel nothing really. But then… The emptiness is more than you can bear because life is about connection. Connecting to yourself…

  • Being Childlike Gives us the Right ‘Tude to Living Successfully

      Last night I went to a village called Hope in Tobago to listen to my friend Marcia Miranda sing. It was a small crowd and the chairs were placed quite a distance from the small stage. As Marcia got on stage she asked the people in the audience to come a little closer –…

  • Why Comparisons NEVER Put Us in a Great Frame of Mind!

      Yesterday I found myself feeling down. I started to bitch to myself about what I was doing with my life. I felt as if I was making zero progress and not ‘getting it together’ as quickly as I thought I needed to to take the steps I SHOULD be taking. I guess I could…

  • This Halloween I’m Showing up as IMPOSSIBLE!

    CONTEMPLATE THIS… Why you might ask? Because IMPOSSIBLE is frightening! Let the word tumble around a bit in your head…that’s right…impossible…impossible…impossible…I’m going to attempt to do the impossible. If you want a little help stirring up feelings for the impossible, this account of Felix Baumgartner’s record breaking highest jump ever should get you tingling. “Trust…

  • Many of these same ideas can be used for dealing with procrastination…

    Was reading a guest post by Lucille Zimmerman on Michael Hyatt’s e-newsletter called “How to Avoid Procrastinating when you Feel Overwhelmed.” and she referenced this infographic. Great ideas for all of us who at one time or another – PROCRASTINATE! 🙂 [By the way, Lucille is a licensed professional counselor and an affiliate faculty professor…

  • Do you play life to win?

    The late Dr. Stephen Covey tells us that most people have been deeply scripted in the Win/Lose mentality since birth. He said “First and most important of the powerful forces at work is the family. When one child is compared with another – when patience, understanding or love is given or withdrawn on the basis…

  • Think on These Things Whenever You’re Stuck

    Are you working on too many goals/objectives? Do you have a to-do list that doesn’t seem to quit? Do you find yourself occasionally having to pull an ‘all-nighter’ because you’re trying to make up for lost time because you were busy doing stuff you were having fun doing, leaving the not so appealing project behind…

    We think too small – like the frog at the bottom of the well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view. – Mao Tse-Tung Stretch. Stimulate your mind. Associate with people who have new ideas – new approaches.…

  • It’s a New Year!

    Well not exactly…but it can be for you – especially if you haven’t been getting the results you want in your business or life. Most of us know how to set goals. WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT! WE KNOW HOW TO GET IT! Jeez…if I want to lose weight all I have to do is…
