Your Past, Passions, Peculiarities & Your Rebirth #EasterSunday It falls to me in this week of peace and harmony to remind you of the importance of non-conformity. I remind you that we are as different as the painted Easter eggs on the outside. We are also as surprising as those plastic Easter eggs, which hide […]

The problem is immaterial. The solution begins with you. The challenge is that many are unsure about their power, their purpose, their opportunity, their purview, and their context. All 5 are required for causality. You can make change happen, but you make the decision of engagement or indifference with each choice you make. Each of […]

I am not a fanboy. Yet, there are some people who inspire me like they were family. If you know me, you know my top 5, my dream team of icons to emulate. Muhammad Ali is on my list. From his athletics to his politics, from his family to his public life he taught me […]

I completed 4 game plans this week. I cannot remember a time in the past when I completed 4 in 5 days.

Christmas week and the first full week of school break. A time of reflection. A week of investment and preparation for the coming new year. As my children get older and I gain wisdom, I consider what I give and what it makes possible. Not just in this season, but throughout my life. I encourage […]

They were telling you the truth, part of the truth. But, that is really the point. They meant to break you, but that’s only part of the truth. The whole truth requires your reaction, experience, and contribution. Without YOU, reality is meaningless. As the days get more cloudy and cold. A metaphor about sunlight seems […]

The most frustrating thing to me are the lessons I learned and committed to memory that are just plain false. Those misguided attempts at wisdom of well-meaning people who were hoping to keep me safe instead of allowing me to live in the fully glory of risk. It’s not the ones you know about and […]

This weeks motivators speak to that lonely position trailblazers occupy. It is just true that, even in the most supportive of environments, there are times when you are the only one with the idea, the intestinal fortitude, the capability, the focus, the drive to complete a task. It will happen if you are innovating. You […]
