If you’re confused by the new word in the title (storyize), there’s a reason – I made it up. Actually, it turns out that others have used this word, but it popped into my mind during a recent training session when we were talking about the importance of stories in […]
The Magic of Questions

I love questions. I believe in the power of questions. Questions are the path to growth. Questions are the leader’s tool of choice. Questions are the secret sauce. If you think I’m biased towards questions, you’re right! I’ve personally witnessed the power and magic of questions for myself, with my […]

As I write this blog, I’m sitting in my hotel in Riverton, WY, with my Dad. He and I are on our annual trip, and this is our 8thyear. We started off doing Civil War history trips, but this year we decided to do some bucket list trips for both […]
Lead Like a Parent

If you’re like me, you find yourself saying something like this: “I can’t believe it’s already September” or “Where did the summer go?” Funny how time seems to fly in our minds, but not so funny how we (I include myself in this) fail to take action to change it. […]

Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) famously said, “So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.” We’re all going hard and fast. Everyone’s busy, stressed and overwhelmed. To do lists are endless, time is finite and the most common phrase from most people is “I […]

We’re about to boldly go where no man (or woman) has gone before! If you’re my age (or older), you certainly remember the original Star Trek television series (1966-1969). If so, you likely remember the famous The Trouble With Tribbles episode in which little furry and adorable animals had one […]
