The Creation Cycle
Ever since I was a young kid, I was fascinated with how things got created. And while I never was really good at doing it myself, I was intrigued with the process of having an idea and eventually turning that idea into something tangible. Fast forward approximately forty years or so and once again I…
Simplify, Simplify, Simplify
“Simplify, simplify, simplify, make the affairs of your life number one and two.” – Henry David Thoreau So what do you think Thoreau means by this? I don’t think he literally means one or two. However this sage advice from the 19th century philosopher may be quite timely for those of us in the 21st century…
I Surrender, But I’m Not Giving Up
The word surrender often times implies giving up, or perhaps giving in, and the negative connotations associated with quitting.

Almost by definition referring to any skill as soft almost seems to marginalize it. And some hard charging analytical types spend so much time diminishing these skills because in their minds they can’t be measured. But they…

We seem to be cultivating a culture where more is better; more stuff, more commitments, more activities, just a lot more to manage and keep track of. Yet at times, when we are taking a breath, we realize at the…
Simplify Your Life
I recently participated on a panel discussion regarding the topic of creating balance in what was described as a very busy and hectic world in which we live. I created a bit of a buzz when I suggested that most stress and “out of balance” sensations are self induced. I believe that statement to be true. Often times…
Planting Seeds of Success
Spring time means planting, and planting leads to a harvest. As you reflect upon your life and your leadership, what seeds of success would you like to plant today for a future harvest. As as you think about your intended outcomes, the harvest, also give thought to the conditions required for growth. How will you tend…
