Where Do You Get Your Sea Legs in Another Round of Layoffs?
How do you keep yourself grounded, focused and centered while laying off 10, 20 or 100s of employees who have families and mortgages? You were hired to be a leader and manager with a surgeon's laser-focus of diagnosing and treating the business's ills and opportunities for health and growth - yet, let's be real, you are a HUMAN being and these ...

Getting Heard Above the Crowd – Marketing vs. Relationships?
Yesterday a friend said to me, "Why does everything have to be about marketing today? What happened to focusing on relationships?"

Spring Cleaning and Strategy – "Focustrate"
Spring is the time to clean out, declutter and dust off things that have accumulated from winter. This can be anything from a 10 pound weight gain due to inactivity on cold winter days to getting rid of roller blades you haven't used in five years. What does this have to do with strategy? They are both about making FORCED CHOICES and then ... [Read more]
Can we Have Real Commitment without Spirit?
I am breaking the last (?) taboo of “the corporate world” – to talk about energy, spirit – those intangibles that we all know exist – that really move us, give us meaning, and make a difference in how we are, how we feel, how we think and how we behave. Every leader and organization wants people’s passion and commitment. Who wouldn’t? But guess ... [Read more]
