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.

  • Real value lies in interpretation and application

    A Parable I borrowed from Emmet Fox to explain my point 🙂 “A remote island was inhabited by highly intelligent savages. They had some primitive art and made excellent drawings of animals on the walls of caves. A box was washed ashore containing a number of books, dry and in good condition. The natives were…

  • Imagining And Living As If The World Is One|Beyond Labels (via Borderless Thinking)

    Imagination is described by Napoleon Hill author of Think and Grow Rich as ‘the Workshop of the mind’. He says we can create ANYTHING we imagine. Cherry provides great perspective.

  • Why are we so afraid to stand out?

    The year was 1970. I was staring at a picture larger than life of Angela Davis, (an American political activist and university professor who was associated with the Black Panther Party for Self Defense and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee), on my brother’s bedroom wall. I was 6 years old. I didn’t know anything about…

  • Oh – the music of the 80’s

    I LOVE the 80’s! I dream of throwing a huge party with me as the musical director – and yes you guessed it – only songs from the 80’s! As I crawled in traffic today – heading east – I realized just how important music is in my life. Despite the traffic, I was transported…

  • The Importance of Cutting Yourself Some Slack…

    I like to think of myself as a machine that works well most of the time. I think in the context of mechanics only when I think of how efficient I can be and how unproductive I am being and wasting so much time. Yet there’s a still small voice telling me that sometimes I…

  • Is Selling Really Difficult or is that an Excuse?

    A business is not a business until a sale is made. And a sale is not a sale until the cheque clears in the bank. The road to making these sales and cashing these cheques always appears to be paved with nails and thorns. Show me happy sales people and sales managers who aren’t lamenting…

  • Why hindsight is ALWAYS 20-20

    Today I had a first meeting with a potential customer. We all have a story to tell and as she painted her own picture, I saw many roads that brought her to this point where she was today – setting up business in Trinidad and Tobago. Then she paused and asked me a bit about…

  • Today NOT Tomorrow

    Nike popularized “Just do it”. One of my colleagues instilled in me “Do it now” Yet at times I find myself putting off the very thing that I KNOW will take me to the next stage – the next level of my life. Why? Perhaps because I am afraid and fear really is our only…
