Life Cannot Be Postponed While Realizing a Vision
Yesterday I wrote about daily evolution as the steady closing of the gap between what we know and how we live. About alignment not as an event, but as a practice that compounds quietly. Today the angle is different, because even disciplined evolution can become another form of postponement if we are not careful. There…

Be Wary of Predictions – Why Alignment Outlasts Forecasts
We are terrible at predicting the future, but very good at letting predictions shape our behavior. That gap matters more than we’d like to admit. Predictions rarely arrive as neutral observations. They come wrapped in authority, data, confidence, and often urgency. They promise structure in a world that feels unstable. And because humans are wired…

What if we replaced Mission Statements with Oaths?
Mission statements are meant to foster commitment amongst employees and most companies have one. Except it is often viewed as window-dressing, seen as abstract, and often totally disconnected from the daily reality of the work.

Tolerance despite differences
We all wish that everyone could think like us. After all our point of view is sound. We know what we are talking about and…well…we are right. There is so much intolerance these days. As I read comments on posts I am amazed how rude and disrespectful some people are as they defend their rights…

What Motivates You?
I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Growing up my mom made bread. I loved the bread. I didn’t like the crust. I saw my friends bring their sandwiches to school crust-less. Not in my home. You HAD to eat the crust. So I devised a method of eating the crust first…all the way around…

Would Anyone Miss You If You Suddenly Disappeared?
When the film-maker Carol Morley read that the skeleton of a young woman had been found in a London bedsit, she knew she had to find out more… My first contact with this story was a Facebook post “Do you know this woman? Her name is Joyce Carol Vincent. This is a British born woman…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
When the stakes are high, DON’T MOVE without CLARITY
