One of my new endeavors has been to lead the Rocket Fuel Master Class and Integrator Mastery Forum. As I think of the significant benefits to my own learning and development, one of the most immediate is to be in a room with high performing leaders. I’ve had a similar journey with the Implementors; the… View Article
Thank you for playing along, this is the summary blog I write every 50 posts sharing my lessons while writing a blog every day in my journey to 1,000. This began when I accepted Seth Godin’s challenge from this blog post. Again, certain random numbers matter more to me. 90% is a milestone that means I… View Article
In the quiet still of the morning, everything seems possible. Hope is visceral, the day is new again. Peace envelops you. Within the stillness, the birds converse, the sun greets you, and the sparkling water dances with joy. When you unplug from the busyness, there is only space. When you pause, breathe, and embrace the… View Article
Are you tired of how hard things feel? Does it seem like work is changing again? It appears things are chaotic for many. There is a rise in unrest (again), uncertainty surrounding us, and it feels like an abrupt intersection with the relaxed pace of summer.

Consider this: Schedule only a ½ day the day before and after your first day back (a full day is even better!) Block your… View Article
Do you want solutions? In sessions, I’ll be coaching a team while solving issues and they’ll stray from the topic at hand. They’ll dive into multiple competing discussions piling onto the issue while wasting precious time circling the issue, afraid to say what’s really at the core of it all. A simple process clears this… View Article
When things are meant to be, there is an ease to it all. Sometimes, I forget this and whether by habit or stubbornness, I get attached to how I think it’s supposed to happen. There’s the challenge. When I attach myself to how, it often leads to frustration, irritation, disappointment, and perceived problems. When I… View Article
The summer in Minnesota offers the best of family, food, and festivities. We have the joy of lake time.
