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.

  • We Must Seize What Flees

    Let us therefore set out whole-heartedly, leaving aside our many distractions and exert ourselves in this single purpose, before we realize too late the swift and unstoppable flight of time and are left behind. As each day arises, welcome it as the very best day of all, and make it your own possession. We must…

  • What’s the Significance of a Birthday?

    Today is my birthday. I generally don’t make a big deal about my birthday. I usually don’t make elaborate plans, I have no must-do’s on my list. I wake up into the day and live. Today is not necessarily different to what I’ve just described, except for two gifts I received from The Daily Stoic…

  • What Courage looks like in HR

    The final day of the CANTO HR Conference did not disappoint. After two days of panels, keynotes, hallway conversations and a lot of earnest talk about “people first,” Liberty Caribbean took the stage and did something refreshingly simple… They talked about what they are actually doing. Just a clear walk through policies they’ve tried, decisions…

  • Hopelessness thrives on clutter… start throwing out its snacks.

    Hopelessness isn’t dramatic. It doesn’t usually arrive with despair or collapse. It shows up when everything feels heavy, noisy, and vaguely unmanageable. When your space is crowded. When your mind is juggling too much. When nothing feels finished and everything feels urgent. That’s why clutter is such fertile ground for it. Clutter is not neutral.…

  • Success is not a Prize

    I’ve been asking one question for most of my life: What makes some people successful — and why doesn’t it happen for many? It’s a question that has followed me through every career shift, every reinvention, every late-night notebook filled with plans and “next steps.” I’ve had glimpses of success — those seasons when everything…

  • What to do when we Feel Estranged from Ourselves

    There are days when you can’t quite locate you. Not the professional who knows what to say in a meeting, or the facilitator who helps others find alignment — but the person beneath all of that. The part of you that remembers what it feels like to be connected, grounded, whole. And when that part…

  • How Unkindness to Self Leaks into How We Lead

    The way we lead ourselves, sets the tone for how we lead others and how we treat ourselves inevitably spills over into how we treat everyone else. In the Bible’s book of Esther, there’s a man named Haman. He’s consumed with ego, resentment, and the need to be recognized. When one man, Mordecai, refuses to…

  • Stay true to the voice within

    What are the questions you ask yourself as you pursue or are in the process of building and growing your business? Are you wondering whether what you’re doing will make you rich?

  • You are Unhappy with your Employees; they are Unhappy with WHERE they Work AND You…Now what?

    “If they’re not happy with how things are run here well they know where the door is!” “They should be happy that they have a job in these trying times!” “Dem does never see when anything going good! Make one mistake though and you’ll see! Is hell on earth!” “Yuh see me, doh ask me…
