3 Things I Won’t Compromise On
I’m guessing everyone will have their list of things the simply CAN’T do without. For many, it’s coffee – the No. 1 consumed drink in the world. The range of items here will be as unique as we all are. I have plenty of them. I suspect you don’t get into your fifties...
How’s Your Story Working Out?
Some of you may know this, but all the blog writing I’ve done over the years, as well as the marketing I’ve done for my own small business, has led to a “second” career as a writer, of sorts. Largely sales copywriting, email marketing…that type of thing. I really...
A Sublte Shift In Language…
The English language is pretty challenging. I read one time that for someone trying to learn English as a new language, it can be extremely difficult. There are so many rule exceptions and ways to say things, I can see why. Here’s an example of how subtle changes can...
Fear Of Failure
I’d like to explain one of the top reasons people don’t change…or even try to change (at least in my humble opinion). Over the years, I’ve heard just about every possible reason why someone refuses to take care of their own health. When I speak with them, I discover...
Is It Time For An Upward Spiral?
You hear a lot of stories about “downward spirals”. “Yeah, once she broke her hip, it started a downward spiral…” “As soon as he retired, you could see him go into this downward spiral…” It doesn’t just apply to people. You see it in companies and organizations as...
Watch Out For The Big “Give ups”
All of us realize that if we woke up one day and said, “I really don’t feel like going into work anymore.”, there would very quickly be consequences. Similarly, if we decided to stop paying our mortgages or other important bills, it wouldn’t take long for trouble to...
Why Is “The Joker” So Fascinating?
As we all know, there have been a lot of Batman movies over the years. (NOTE: At the time of this post, Joaquin Phoenix had JUST won the Academy Award the previous evening) A long time ago, Jack Nicholson played the part of The Joker. I thought he did a great job. It...
The Second “Coming Of Age”
We’ve all seen those very poignant “coming of age” movies… Pretty in Pink comes to mind… Breakfast Club was another… Most people connect with them because we’ve all been teenagers and experienced that angst that’s an integral part of the journey through those years....
What You Think Is Who You Are
A little psychology for you today… This article was triggered by a quote I read the other day, and it pretty much sums up much of my belief system. Here it is… “Human beings always act, feel, and perform in accordance with what they imagine to be true about themselves...
Being Unstoppable
When we think of someone being unstoppable, we conjure up images of a Hollywood movie like “Terminator”. Arnold’s character is unstoppable. In the real world, we think about images of Navy Seals who have mastered weapons, hand-to-hand combat, incredible conditioning...
Workplace Patterns [Part I]
When I’m coaching clients, the one thing they view as an unavoidable obstacle is the workplace. Going to work is the source of all their woes. It’s too stressful… It consumes their entire day… It drains their energy… But there’s an interesting contradiction here I’d...
My wish for you in 2020
Like many individuals and most businesses, I do a lot of year-end planning. For me personally, 2019 was strong and an clear improvement over 2018. ANYTHING is better than 2017…which was a serious low point for me. Looking back, 2017 was one of those years when even...
