(Excerpt from my soon-to-be-published book, Just One Step: The Journey to Your Unstoppable You) I’m back from my Alaskan journey and disconnection, and now it’s time to get back to sharing thoughts and ideas that matter. Two weeks ago, I wrote about the reasons that we want to hold on […]
Just Let Go

(Excerpt from my soon-to-be-published book, Just One Step: The Journey to Your Unstoppable You) We’re all carrying things that don’t serve us, at least not in a healthy way. Perhaps it’s a belief about yourself, your worthiness or your enoughness. We all carry around false beliefs and doubts about whether […]

(Excerpt from my soon-to-be-published book, Just One Step: The Journey to Your Unstoppable You) I literally limped into Santiago de Compostela and synchronistically connected with my friend Mark LeBlanc in a small hotel. After a very welcome hot shower, Mark and I journeyed into Santiago for a lovely dinner. We […]
The Illusion of Accountability
August 29, 2018 Leave a Comment
One of the first questions I ask business owners and leaders who come to me for a consultation is, “How are you doing with accountability?” Typically, when leaders are honest with themselves the answer is either “We could do a lot better” or “We are terrible at it.” Certainly, it […]

Conceived, written and starring (until last July) Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton tells the story of one of our often forgotten founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton. Based upon Ron Chernow’s biography, the show tells the story […]
Accountability and The Set Up
September 9, 2016 Leave a Comment
Accountability is about three things. First, making clear commitments. Second, telling the truth on yourself and owning your choices (that led to me not honoring my commitments). Third, recovering when I am out of accountability and learning from my failures. And I can only really learn from my failures when […]
What’s the Big Secret?

In most organizations, the norm is to withhold information (especially financial information) from the team members, or to at least limit what information is shared with team members. I’ve heard many reasons for this withholding, but what message do we send when we choose not to let team members […]
Welcome the Silence

In speaking, presenting and even in one-on-one conversations, there’s a strong desire and often a perceived need to fill any empty space with words. That’s one of the reasons that we use filler words (e.g. um, ah, so, etc.) — we feel the need to make sure that we’re always […]

A thought leader and friend of mine, Mark Henson (CEO and Founder of Sparkspace in Columbus) recently shared a unique form of a book review, and I’m borrowing his idea this week to share with you my key takeaways from Dan Millman’s powerful book, The Four Purposes of Life (New […]
