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.

  • What Happens When Nostalgia Masquerades as Wisdom?

    Nostalgia is seductive. It feels warm. Familiar. Safe. It wraps itself in memory and tells a comforting story about who we used to be, what once worked, and how things should feel again if we could just get back there. But nostalgia is not neutral.And it is definitely not strategy. In business, nostalgia often masquerades…

  • Humility Isn’t Bad. The Meaning We Inherited Is.

    Every day, I read the chapter in Proverbs that corresponds with the date. If there are only 30 days in the month, I read both chapters 30 and 31 on the last day. It’s a discipline Steven K. Scott learned from Gary Smalley, and the logic is simple: if wisdom is available, why wouldn’t you…

  • What Seems Unclear in Motion Might Become Evident in Stillness

    A feather carries more wisdom than its lightness suggests.Sometimes it floats into your path as a whisper of divine connection. Other times, it fans wide in a peacock’s tail, demanding attention and dazzling the crowd. And in business? It shows up in the smallest signals we’re tempted to ignore. The Feather as a Subtle Signal…

  • When the Giant is in your Head

    Some Goliaths you can see — towering, armored, loud in their threats.Others live quietly in your head. Those mental Goliaths don’t need you to use a sling and a stone for them to fall. They need the truth but that truth needs to come from you. Mental slavery is insidious. It’s when you start thinking…

  • 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…

  • Act from alignment

    My belief is that when you are in alignment, things work out, sometimes in ways you can’t explain. Sometimes through some circuitous route you could never have planned yourself. A chance meeting. A name that comes to you at the right time for your business. A spot opens up and it’s the perfect location for…

  • In silence we find clarity

    We live in a very noisy world. This is not all bad except for when we are required to think. We have been schooled to go in search of answers externally – Google being our favorite go-to. Well ok, it’s my favorite go-to. Some rely on Tik Tok experts or field answers from those already…

  • How will you share your wisdom today?

    An Instagram post from Chris Do sparked my interest to research Director Quentin Tarantino. Chris said: I saw a quote by @tarantinoxx that said “I’m making movies for me. Everybody else is invited.” Such a powerful concept from a truly unique voice in cinema. Then he went on to ask: Who are you making content for? In the endless…

  • How to make a difference tapping into your wisdom – pt 2

    Yesterday, I started talking about wisdom and your message. I believe that many of you reading this post desire getting your message out there, except that message may still be a bit unclear, or maybe you find you’re sounding like everyone else in your area of expertise. How do you tap into your own wisdom…

  • Can you create something better from the pain you’ve experienced?

    I am fond of saying “look to nature…you can learn a lot!” Nature sees value in everything that exists. Nothing is to be wasted. Pain and suffering don’t go to waste once you can learn. You have new found wisdom that will serve you regardless of your journey. Everything that you attempt to deny or…
