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.

  • Hiring Is a Complex Art

    I was reading a story shared by Steven Bartlett about one of the best hires he’s ever made… a candidate with a two-line CV, no experience, and a set of behaviors that quietly outperformed résumés, credentials, and polish. She didn’t know the answer to a question in the interview… so she went home, taught herself,…

  • Some Things Are Worth Rushing. Others Should Move Caterpillar Slow

    I was watching Landman. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a grounded, character-driven series set in the oil fields of West Texas. Less spectacle, more consequence. A show about work, power, family, and the long shadows decisions cast over time. The drama doesn’t come from twists. It comes from what people live with. In one…

  • Why Trust Is Assumed in Business – and Why It Probably Shouldn’t Be

    I’ve observed many businesses over the years, assume that when dealing with customers, trust is inherent in everything. They behave as though trust automatically comes with the invoice number, the logo, the website, and the “About Us” page. Because trust is assumed, we never feel that we have to intentionally build it. Traditionally, the way…

  • When Love Becomes a Business Strategy

    In 2002, long before empathy and authenticity became boardroom buzzwords, Tim Sanders wrote a small but subversive book called Love Is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends. His thesis was radical for its time: Love is the selfless promotion of the growth of the other. He called people who practiced this…

  • Never Settle For Less Than You’re Worth

    This article was also published in the Trinidad Express Woman’s Magazine 19.01.2014 Ever wonder if you’re under-earning? Barbara Stanny, author of Secrets of Six Figure Women, who writes, teaches and coaches with one aim in mind: to empower women financially shares that all under-earners have one common trait: A high tolerance for low pay. “But…

  • Why is EXCELLENT customer service so elusive?

    I honestly don’t think people realize it WHEN they’re doing it but it’s a shame with all the knowledge about excellent service = excellent profits that the service experience ratio seems to be one great experience to every one hundred bad. Just to make sure that I was using the correct word I checked the…

  • What Advice Would You Give Yourself at this Time in Your Life?

    I’ve been thinking about my life – its significance – am I doing what I should be doing? For the first time it feels right. I’ve done things that I COULD do but didn’t necessarily enjoy doing. I’ve been paid for many  projects but was not fulfilled by the work. Now I get to choose…
