What are you going to do to up your game and make 2018 your best year ever? I long ago discovered an important strategy that has allowed me…and my clients to continually grow and improve performance every year. It’s called an After Action Review (AAR), and it’s all about reflecting on this past year’s performance…reviewing […]
Here’s a rule without an exception… Success requires purposeful action. To make something big happen today… Take massive action and advance the ball. Demonstrably move the needle on a project. Confront a fear and create a breakthrough. Solve a challenging problem and own the solution. To make something big happen today… Execute the moment you […]
You have the right and responsibility to START SAYING NO to anything that is hurting you. To anything not in alignment with your values. To the standards that no longer serve you. To the people who drain you of your creativity and peace of mind. To the beliefs that are not true to the real […]
When was the last time you did anything for the first time? Your entire life is a series of firsts… First steps… First tooth… First word… First birthday… First bike… First cavity… First day in school… First report card… First plane ride… First date… First kiss… First interview… First job… First swim… First car… Every […]
I’m a big believer that how you treat yourself sets the standard for how people treat you. That’s why you’ll want to treat yourself to a lifetime of joy and happiness. Happiness… …is an aphrodisiac; anyone who has experienced it will crave it again and again. …is a choice; it’s an emotion that can be […]
We can choose to “give back,” or we can simply choose to give. Therefore, why not view your life, career and company as a platform for giving, for caring…for intentional acts of generosity? To build a great live…we must individually and collectively replace the pursuit of success and materialism with the pursuit of contribution, caring […]
As you work towards finishing the year strong… Be mindful that the most challenging part of ACHIEVING a goal… Is overcoming resistance. Resistance prevents writers from writing, painters from painting, runners from running, and coaches from coaching. I know of no enemy, competition or opposition force more insidious or vicious than resistance. That’s why it’s […]
You have a dream. A bold audacious goal. An intense call to action. You feel the pull of purpose. It’s big. Passionate. Wild even. You’ve done the work. You know your stuff. You’re ready. You’re willing. And yet…there you stand. On the precipice of real, true action… UNABLE to move forward. What are you waiting […]
We’re all self-made. Some have made their lives into an adventure movie…and created a true masterpiece. A good number have made their lives on a bedrock of safe choices…and settled for mediocrity. Others through their choices have made their lives into a Greek Tragedy…and pay dearly for it. Yes, we’re all self-made…it’s just that only the […]
That’s right… No matter how you look at it…you’re pregnant! Your hopes, dreams, goals and ideas…they’re your baby. Your responsibility is to the new life growing inside you. That movie that’s gestating inside you? That’s your baby. Same goes for… That novel. That album. That new business. The entire process of childbirth and goal setting […]
