Your time. When I wake up early, fully rested, without an alarm and the day greets me with a beautiful sunrise, peace and quiet, I am winning the day. My time of day is the morning. My energy is high, my thinking is clear, and my excitement for what’s possible is high. The enthusiasm and focus available to me are at my prime. How do I…
When you face the same situation repeatedly expecting different results, they call that insanity. Yet in the market today, the talent challenges are real. I’m in daily conversations with clients all over the world and everyone is challenged with their people. Most employers are expecting anywhere from 33-50% transition. How will we rethink our workplaces, our structures and our methods? 2020 was challenging,…

We had the pleasure of going to experience live music last weekend. It was an incredible opportunity to remember the sensory pleasure of a driving bass lick pulsing through our bodies, the joy and energy created between the band and audience, and the sheer pleasure of reminiscing all that the music embodies in our lives. This concert was nestled between…
For all of us who deal with our own doubt subtly and directly, great wisdom is found in this Mel Robbins quote: “Doubting yourself is normal. Letting it stop you is a choice.” Remember, every moment is an opportunity to choose.

Let me become a student of what’s possible. And let me become a student of what’s in the way. As the book says, the obstacle is the way. The question to ask is, “how do I become the kind of person to expect those results?

Let’s talk about intentionality. It’s fitting when you host a podcast named “Intentional Greatness.” What does it mean to be intentional and how does it show up in our world?

I missed acknowledging my brother’s birthday on July 4th. I recognized it on July 5th and felt terrible. I promptly communicated, and while this is not the biggest error I’ve made, still didn’t feel great.
