Keeping your word is a superpower. As I work with clients and observe those who are most successful in terms of people (culture), purpose (finding meaning in their work), and profit (being compensated appropriately), is that they have a superior commitment to doing what they say. This sounds so simple. It is, and it’s rare. Many people and their teams…
In a world filled with conflict, be a space for understanding. In a world filled with sadness, be a space for compassion. In a world filled with lack, be a space of generosity. In a world filled with joy, be a space of appreciation. In a world filled with complexity, be a space of clarity. In a world filled with…
I was in a preparing for a podcast with Barbara Archer yesterday and she summed up a point we were making by saying “when your world gets smaller, your problems get bigger.” What a profound statement. It proves true for me – and everyone I know. When we shrink our lives to reduce the likelihood of painful events, we lose…
I’ve been traveling again, which offers the gift of serendipitous intersections. I had the great fortune of sitting next to Ashley, who asked me about my reMarkable2 (favorite device ever – and they didn’t pay me to say that!) and we were off to the races. I’m typically the passenger who keeps to themselves, putting on my headphones and drifting…
During the holidays, I can get swept up in the busyness of the season along with the busyness of my work. It’s imperative to find peace amidst the chaos to enjoy all the season offers. We began scheduling a trip to warm weather for at least a long weekend in each of the winter months to interrupt our heavy working…
I’m reading a great book, it’s not for everyone, but the excerpt below referencing exercise might be. When I think of exercise, it’s been my stress management and empowerment for years. That doesn’t mean I’m always motivated to do it. I’ve always found team sports and group activities to be more motivating because exercise is disguised within the fun of…
It’s been an inspiring year with my clients. Perhaps it’s been the richness of seeing so many of them moving gracefully into their EOS lives (doing work they love, with people they love, making a huge difference, being compensated appropriately, with time left for other passions). It’s been a time of profound gratitude while partnering with a 3rd generation 100+…

Do you reflect? To pursue Intentional Greatness®, reflection is required. If you’re reading this blog, I’m mirroring our journal to help you finish 2022 strong while also kick starting 2023 (tomorrow’s blog). In The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan, he illustrates the importance of reviewing where you’ve been to appreciate your progress, while also looking forward and seeing…
The holidays are a mixed bag. If you’ve been reading this week, you’re aware of my overwhelming joy and gratitude for my family and our traditions. At the same time, we’ve had some friends leave us in the recent weeks. It’s harder to write about these, and I’m aware it’s not as enjoyable to read. When we lose friends and…
