I Don’t Know…Or Do You Know?

“I don’t know.” It’s a phrase we hear a lot and probably say often. It rolls off the tongue with ease when it’s something simple.
• “Where are my socks?” I don’t know.
• “What is the weather going to be like tomorrow?” I don’t know
• “What was the score?” I don’t know
• “What should I wear?” I don’t know

Are You Bored?

Recently, I was at an event and overheard someone talking about how bored they’ve been over the last few months.  It really made me stop and think.  I absolutely can not remember a time when I have felt bored.

Are you Monitoring Your Progress?

I talk a lot about mission.  You must have a mission.  Make sure your team is fired up about your mission.  But missions can be huge!  How do you know that you are moving towards your mission?  What progress should you make each week; each month; each year?

What is Passion and Why is it so Important?

I believe that we are all meant to live lives filled with joy and fulfillment; that we have gifts to be used in the service of others.  Finding how to use those gifts and live a life of passion is our innate pursuit.  

What Must You Let Go?

As I wrote in a recent article, we create expectations for our lives, of others, of events, that often do not match our actual experiences. It is human nature. But the result is that we spend most of our time in the gap. Sometimes, the gap is so wide it creates a shift in our entire life vision. Or, it should. At times we may continue holding too tight to that original expectation. It dawned on me that if you don’t let go, you can end up spending a life time in that one gap.

What Do You Do in the Gap?


In every relationship, including those at work, we have expectations. We expect others to act a certain way, respond to situations the way we’d like, care about the same things we care about. If you are someone who sets the bar high for yourself, chances are you also set it high for the people you share your work and life with.

Are you an Inspiration or filled with Desperation?

Every once in a while I run across a great read that so succinctly says what I’ve been telling my clients for years. “The Oz Principle” by Roger Connors, Tom Smith and Craig Hickman is one of them. It fires me up!

Team Norms: What are Yours?

A norm is an often unstated rule that governs how people act in a group. New members of a team usually learn the norms through observation or trial and error. These norms can work for your business or against it.
