As a feeling person, when the vast array of feelings collides all at once, it results in numbness for me.  I can’t process them all, can’t feel anything, and am left in a void, feeling empty and wanting to disappear.   If not disappear, I’d like to run away.   Only I can’t. I must breathe, regroup,… View Article

When you think about your team, do you recognize you’ll only go as far and as fast as the sum of all?  It isn’t about any one of you, it’s about the collective. The intangible, connective tissue that bonds the team and makes those overlaps and gaps between you irrelevant.  It’s about finding resources, accelerating… View Article

8,760. That’s the number of hours you have in a year. 168 hours each week.  It doesn’t sound like a lot to me when you consider the number of hours you sleep, the time you spend in the car, getting ready for your day and other mandatory functions like putting gas in your car, purchasing… View Article
