#MotivationMonday Weather is such a great metaphor for the rainy, cold, warm, thunderstorm, sunny, mix that are the emotions. But, alas!

#EasterWeekend has me thinking about the Passion story from the perspective of Jesus as a businessman. Hear me out. He had a vision. He gathered a network. Then, he took his brand on the road. The most challenging period of his business career is commemorated by this weekend. He was at the point of giving […]

This week I wanted to provide some advice to those who are bigger than where they are. You know what I mean? You are working at a job or jobs that just are not providing enough. Sure, you get paid. But, you know that your life is much more than what you are doing at […]

“You have to want it.” I tell my toughest clients like Sean (Robin Williams) in that pivotal scene in the movie Good Will Hunting. “I do want it.

The world doesn’t have enough love. That much is clear. The love we have is often a poorer version of the unconditional positive regard that values me through a valuing of you.

Superbowl Sunday in the United States! I am struck by the parallels between growing up as a Black man in the US and launching a business.

#MondayMotivation One month of 2016 in the books. Time to reflect on the progress made during the first 31 days of the year. Some like to remain hopeful, but I like to mix my hope with a bit of math. For example, my goal was to publish 1 training per week for a total of […]
