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.

  • Possibility, Profits, and the People You Choose to Bet On

    Some people don’t need to be “taught possibility”; they walk into rooms wired for it. They are possibility thinkers. They see the possibilities and immediately begin asking “what if” questions. They are energized by ambiguity and focused on impact. Karrie Sullivan recently posted that “Art of the Possible” sessions are a waste of time. If…

  • Action will take you out of fear

    Fear has taken me out of acting on numerous occasions. The fear to speak up, share a truth, defend or hold fast to an unpopular position. They say the reverse is true – that action will take you out of fear. I don’t know that you ever outdistance fear, but taking action, forming supportive habits,…

  • Are we losing the plot with AI?

    I think AI is greatly misunderstood. And I’m watching it create a quiet storm of anxiety—especially among students, educators, and thoughtful professionals. Not because people are being dishonest.But because they’re scared they’ll be misunderstood. They’re asking questions like: “Does this sound too much like AI?”“What if I get flagged even though I wrote it?” They’re…

  • Redefine your problem as a missing or faulty system

    Yesterday I wrote about seeing versus actually solving problems. Being aware of or seeing problems is only half the battle. If you’ve been struggling with a recurring issue in your business, and no matter what you do, it’s still there, resurfacing and rearing its ugly head then what I am about to share, will help…

  • When the discovery stops, the joy and wonder die

    Some of you might know him as ‘Dr. Iggy Frome’, from New Amsterdam where he played attending child psychologist but he began his professional acting career before he even made it to high school. Acting is his craft, his expertise as it were and in a Success Magazine 2019 interview, Tyler Labine shared that in…

  • Can you be creative while fighting the clock?

    When creativity is under the gun, it usually ends up getting killed. Although time pressure may drive people to work more and get more done, and may even make them feel more creative, it actually causes them, in general, to think less creatively.  Teresa M. Amabile, Constance Noonan Hadley, and Steven J. Kramer – Harvard Business Review This is…

  • Do you habitually schedule downtime?

    As humans we know and understand machines. We understand that machines break down if they aren’t maintained and serviced regularly. We also ensure that we put our phones, laptops and other devices to charge, ensuring that they can serve us when we need to use them. We are reminded by our car dealers or regular…

  • Don’t grow too comfortable with the knowledge you have

    Our entire education system is set up with an end in mind: to pass a test following a period of learning, well cramming in most instances; getting our answers right and then moving into the job of our dreams, where we get to use this knowledge we’ve amassed over the years as an indication of…

  • Caught my eye this week…

    Every creation starts with a lump of useless clay. The potter leaves a part of himself in every creation. Only the potter can hear the clay. He listens to know its breaking point, to learn its limitations, to reach past them or to accept them and make them a thing of beauty. regina brett It…
