I recently got called out from a close friend and truth teller. It hurt for a bit. I quickly recovered because I realized it was true. More importantly, I realized I could do something about it.Â
He told me I was operating from a selfish point of view. He used the term "self-absorbed". He was rig...
I never thought I'd say this, but I've been off coffee now for almost three weeks. I love coffee...I mean, I really, really love the smell of it, the ritual of it, the routine of it, etc., etc. Coffee is part of life.

I’ve always known this but it’s becoming more and more evident by the day. Relationship capital and trust can...
Thought: I’m currently running a With Intention cohort at CCC. We had a call today where the topic of writing came up. One of things I’m having them do is writing in a workbook that accompanies the self-learning modules. This was a big aha for the group as many hadn’t used pen/paper to write in many...
Thought – I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the power of movement and staying active. I’ve had three keynote talks in the last two weeks, along with client meetings and our annual sales kickoff meeting. Staying active and keeping to a workout schedule has been huge for me. It’s keeps me energize...
