I’m glad I’m in the business that I am in. It forces me to hold myself accountable, even when it’s easy to let myself off the hook. You see, I believe in doing what I preach, so when I catch myself giving something “lip service,” I have to pause, reflect and ACTUALLY do something. Let […]
I lost a friend this week. He was a fraternity brother. I hadn’t talked to him in many years. I knew him when we were in college, both young and idealistic; ready to take on the world, or just the next party. The loss has put me in a contemplative mood. I’ve been copied on […]
I was at a gathering of about 30 triathletes on Sunday. All are preparing to do Ironman Lake Tahoe (a race that includes a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run) in September. We were meeting to go over the preliminary training outline for the season that I had developed […]
Being a cyclist and triathlete, I’ve had lots of discussions about Lance in recent months. His fall from grace was a long time coming; but when it came, it was fast and furious. The on-line forums and social media have been buzzing with comments, most vilifying him. No doubt, the higher they are, the harder […]
I’m not usually in a funk. In fact, most would say that I’m way too optimistic. But this week, I’ve felt a bit lost, disappointed, frustrated and sad. It’s not a place I like to be. On Tuesday morning, I was traveling down to Palm Springs for a week of bike riding and fun with […]
As I sit and reflect on my 55th birthday this week, it seemed fitting to share life lessons learned (and in some cases still learning) along the way. For those of you who may dread getting older, I want to say that at 55 and counting, life just keeps getting better. I have my health […]
I guess I could be defined as a health nut. I’ve been called “cra-cra” and a “freak” because of my workout schedule and eating habits. And I don’t have a problem with that. In fact, I wear it as a badge of honor. I live by a creed that I’ve been given this amazing opportunity […]
What if I told you that I could help you put a strategic plan together in less than an hour that would make you more focused and productive? A strategic plan that can serve as a daily roadmap to help you make 2013 your best year ever? Would it be worth your time and effort […]
Last week, I did a bit of a tease. I reported that I read the most amazing book. One that as a self-help junkie stood out among the dozens I had read in the last year. Before I revealed mine, I did the classic, “show me yours and I’ll show you mine.” Some of you […]
I’ll admit it. I’m a self-help JUNKIE. It’s true. I’ve always been that way. Luckily for me, learning is an occupational benefit. The more I know, the better resource I can be to my clients. I’m reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Confucious, “He that would perfect his work must first sharpen his […]
