Beware the Trap: Seeking a Fair Trade #Juneteenth is tomorrow, and the anniversary has me thinking. I’m thinking also because I am launching a venture 18 years in the making. But, I am wondering how many assumptions we make about life that are simply not true. How many truisms do we accepts because they are […]

Giving What You Don’t Owe You don’t owe anyone anything. I believe that. What I am asking is, “What do you have to give?” I have written several pieces about empathy, but I’m afraid that the problem goes beyond our inability to see each other’s choices as reasonable. We are vigilant and ever-ready to call […]

As I read term papers from students this week, I began to think about my passion for helping people and my own journey through life. Would I have become the person I am if I had been saved from some of the disappointments and outright failures I endured? How can I know that my help […]

My favorite part about being a coach is the product–what my clients produce. Second to that fave is the moment when a client realizes that their product is possible.

Now, the sea has calmed. […]

Watch any movie that introduces some form of prophecy or prediction challenging the power and prominence of a person. In every situation, the person in power will attempt to resist or change that prophecy. Their resistance to change inevitably brings that reality closer to being made manifest. They create the road that leads to the […]

#MondayMotivation #Remembrances Have you ever felt overwhelmed? Like it was all too much for you to handle? I have! At 41 years old, I can tell you that every single time I felt that way, the reward for my perseverance was HUGE. Keep moving, even without the How. Understand that the goal is not to […]

#MondayMotivation With the passing of labor day, all schools have not entered the Fall session. It got me thinking about this time of year and the value of education. I’m often asked, “Dr. Wright, Should I go back to school?” I answer No…Unless the experience will result in increased competence, confidence, network, and communication skills. […]

This Monday will occur a day after Father’s Day. My #MAWMondayMotivators today, in addition to the well wishes for this US holiday, added some motivation for the week ahead. I was drawn to the discussion of fear, control, faith, purpose, and surrender. The way it all came together was inspiring to me. It ended with […]
