Be An Asker

My best teachable and learning times have been when I have practiced asking instead of telling in my connections with people. However, easy said than done. When you get that call that puts your back against the wall, it's hard to ask and not get defensive when you flip into tell mode. It can mean... Continue Reading →

What’s Possible Usually Starts with Impossibile

Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. - Muhammad AliI'm sure you've heard of "mission statements" or "values" as concepts to business and life. Completely and utterly overused too. Vague statements are what we create from those platitudes. We need to define our work we're going after clearly, specifically, and with some ambition behind... Continue Reading →

Sports On the Brain

I've been in sports since I knew I could be pretty good in sports. But, never knew why it was something I wanted to be in. I've played golf, soccer, basketball, track and field, and finally just long distance running. I also like to watch sports. Specially any kind of playoff game where two teams... Continue Reading →
