One of the most overused phrases in business is ‘up with the creativity and innovation quotient.’ I mean, it sounds fabulous. EXCEPT. Where do you start? And if you’ve been paying attention to the ‘noise’ lately, creativity seems to have been killed off, almost entirely, during the pandemic. Let’s start at the beginning Neuroscientists have […]
For the last two years, my brother has been going through a nasty separation/divorce process. It has been harrowing for two reasons: he is the first person to have gone through anything like this and he also is the first person who had a judge order a 50/50 split of matrimonial possessions between him and […]
I had an epiphany of sorts about how so much is connected and want to share the highlights with you. Before I begin, let me ask you one question. If your life were a tree, what fruit would it bear? Autumn is now here, and most of the harvesting from most of the trees is […]

Last month the post about endless possibilities caused a commotion. While most agreed with me, the common question, was ‘where do I start?’ Let me explain. You have a big dream. A fantastic idea you would love to happen in your life. Could be a personal goal, a business ambition or even a wild and […]
I want to talk about your audience. Your customer. You’ve heard me drone on about always keeping your impact on the customer front and center in everything you do. “Always speak and write and position yourself around the IMPACT or transformation you give the client.” How many times have you read some version of this […]
Let’s talk about one piece of success today. Do you remember the movie This is Spinal Tap? It was about one of England’s loudest heavy metal rock bands. Spinal Tap. Directed by Rob Reiner – who also played the director of the mockumentary, it was a satirical look at life inside a rock and roll […]
I want to encourage you to take a stand! To climb onto your soapbox! Huh? Let me show you how it makes you stand up and stand apart from all your competition. Remember a couple of years ago, when we were in the middle of the election season? Well, one sunny day, an older gentleman […]
