I truly love the great people I have the privilege of coaching. They all want to grow. They’re “seekers.” Curious about themselves, others. Success to them? Varies with each one.Failures. They have had their bunch. Me too. Regrets… recent stumbles. Childhood memories hard to erase. These are real mental “wounds.” Just as hurtful as any […]
I hear this a lot. You too? “Oh, what a coincidence!” You know the person you see in the grocery store you were just thinking about. That phone call that came from someone you haven’t heard from in years. What coincidences! I got a call from an old acquaintance earlier this week who I really […]
I am so grateful. Start all my mornings… up around 2:30-3. In bed last night at 7:30. Do the math before gasping. Previewed the new Mercedes Benz Stadium yesterday. New home of my Atlanta Falcons. Incredible. But draining too.In the sack early after another enchanting day.You see my life experiences today are good… bad, actually […]
If you’ve read a number of the posts in this Blog, you’ve gathered that relationships… love of people is my passion. I’m asked, “Where did you learn all this stuff?” In truth I am “home schooled.” Three hundred books in my office attest to the fact this is so. Lots of studying with mentors. All […]
The mind can be a tricky. We look forward and we look backward. What’s in front of us. What’s in back of us. Both are important.Consider this though. All we can control, can address are NOW and NEXT. The current moment and our next action… what we decide… NOW, a decision in the moment then […]
As a coach, I deal with the full range of human emotions… challenging situations we all find ourselves in at different times.“He does this.” “She does that.” “Why is this happening to me?”Always emotionally annoying. If not addressed, gradually intense. People don’t come to me until the problem is acute. In most cases the person […]
A great man reaches highest whenhe reaches down to help another man up. I grew up on the Main Line in Philadelphia. Don’t say “Oh!” like most do. I wasn’t a “Main Liner”… Blue blood. I can remember this refined attractive elderly lady… the fifth time I met her. Went something like this. My Mom, […]
I chose this illustration for my Blog to depict the path or journey I find so many on today. The stairs. Firm and clear at the bottom. This is now. Driven to grow, climb based on decisions you’ve made along the way. About your life. About your path. About where you are going.But take heed. […]
AccountabilityTaking responsibility for something that youhave done or something you are supposed to do.Or more simply… doing what you say you will do. I have lived a life full of accountability. My own… helping others be accountable too. A much used word… most often misunderstood.But accountability lies at the root of character, respect… above all […]
Retirement is a myth. I’ve engaged with execs, business owners, even a few friends. Coaching them as they move from a career, a new phase of life… most times to “retirement.” The common story, “If I can just put in a little more time, and get to retirement. I will be free !!”… “Yes!!” Right? […]
