Optimizing your personal performance and productivity
To fix it, well that’s a pain. Sure, it doesn’t work the way it should right now, and that’s a pain, but it works a little and that seems less of a pain than having to fix it and who says the fix will be any better? Ever wander through that rationalization? When fixing it […]
It would certainly be lovely if we could all anticipate that from our past functional, work-a-day selves toiling in drab predictability we entered our Corona-cocoons and, in short time, emerged an enlightened, vibrant and colorful soul ready to fly in a dazzling display of new awareness and instinct led actions. Yeah, it’d be nice. Unfortunately, […]
There are no such things as “wrong” feelings. In this unprecedented time of uncertainty, stress, worry, anxiety, loneliness, loss of income, personal safety, family health…you’d be crazy if you didn’t get at least a little down!

It is damn hard to have success in business if you are a lousy communicator. Oh, it happens but it’s usually painful and in spite of the limitations not because of them. The best leaders are excellent communicators. That does not mean they espouse rosey metaphors, pure truth or speak melodious or authoritative tones. In […]
Do you feel like working today? Even if you feel like being at work do you feel like tackling the big challenge you know you really should be working on. Or maybe you are finding work to do that helps you avoid big stuff you could be doing because…well because it’s hard! Thus we see […]
