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.

  • How to Achieve the Sweet Spot between People & Process

    It was Dr. W. Edwards Deming who famously said this: A bad system will beat a good person every time. He’s right. If your workflows are clunky, your tools outdated, your decision-making slow, and your culture misaligned — even your top talent will eventually burn out or disengage. In most organizations, 94% of results come…

  • From Future Chasing to Joyful Living

    I only recently subscribed to Scott D. Clary’s newsletter. Like everything online, I really can’t remember HOW I came across his newsletter but I’m glad I did. His newsletter arrives on a Sunday, promising that you start your week with wisdom from the most successful people on the planet. Strategies, breakthrough habits, and powerful mindset…

  • 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…

  • Don’t compromise

    In order to succeed in the world according to you and only you alone, you must let go, in order to let in. Start with being fake. Eliminate it altogether. Stop hiding. Allow yourself to be fully seen. Quit trying to outdistance fear. Fear is here for the long haul – don’t let it stop…

  • We All Have a Superpower – What’s Yours?

    We all possess some ability that makes us “US”. We don’t even recognize it because we go to it so easily. It’s so natural that it’s almost invisible. In fact, when we’re answering questions about ourselves we usually blow past it and bust our brains trying to come up with something that “sounds good”. We’ve…

  • Talent and Promise Won’t Get You Results Without This…

    What makes a great performance great? Have you ever been told that you hold so much promise? That you have a lot of potential? When you hear that, how do you feel? In my own life I was tired of hearing it because nothing seemed to change as the days and subsequent years sailed by.…

  • When Comfort Becomes Quicksand

    How often in your life do you lose sight of the big picture? You go after stuff you think you need, while you scoff at what you actually have. We’re so hell bent on pleasing and fitting in and doing things a certain way…dressing the part of the man or woman of your stature…yet what does your…

  • Not Producing Results? You Might Be Out of Alignment on the Inside

    There’s a quote I absolutely love by well known marketing strategist Beth A Grant where she says “No amount of marketing is ever going to make up for being out of alignment on the inside.” If you’re not getting consistent results in your life, this may very well be the case. You are not in…

  • Is Success in Life and Business the Result of Heredity, Luck, Money or some Combination of these?

    Thinking this way certainly explains a lot of the results we see in the world. The disproportionate numbers between those who have and those who don’t is staggering. We are unable to see any major differences between us and them except that they were born into money, they got lucky or they were placed in…

  • 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…
