Everyone Is an Artist
I have been thinking a lot about creativity lately. I have found myself getting into a creative groove during the pandemic. I was a creative child who was nudged into a more practical and lucrative path by well-meaning adults. I have discovered that you can’t block the light of a creative forever; eventually, it has to shine through in one way or another.
The thing with creativity is that it shows up in many different ways. We all have the capacity to be creative in our own arenas. I define cr…
The Wisdom of Horses
This year, I traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico, with Rich Litvin and my fellow 4PC (Four Percent Club) coaches. I had a fantastic opportunity to spend time at the EQUUS Ranch to learn from some of the oldest teachers on our planet, horses.
Horses have thrived on the planet for over 56 million years, which is quite remarkable!
It was a fantastic experience to be with these beautiful and majestic creatures. Being an open-minded person, I went into the experience with the right mindset, but I wa…
Come Fly with Me!
I have been thinking a lot about the impact that companies have on our society and how it is time to do better. I recently came across a wonderful example of an organization boldly committing to making an impact, and I’d love to share it with you.
Delta Airlines commits to becoming the first carbon-neutral airline globally: a 10- year commitment to mitigate all emissions from March 2020 forward!
“There is no substitute for the power that travel has to connect people, which our world needs tod…
Kona Get Better
Today I want to share something right from the heart. You see, we recently adopted our second puppy, Kona. Her name is inspired by our travels in Hawaii, which like her, is rich with color and full of life. I noticed the other night that she was very quiet and not her regular exuberant self, so I spent the night on the couch with her laying against my chest, but in the morning, she was moving slower, limping, and even throwing up. Oh boy!
There's a certain feeling that comes with caring for a g…
Step Into The Lab: Experiment Your Way to A New Life
I can still remember my experience of being a pre-med student playing with expensive equipment, running experiments to test hypotheses, and seeing what I could discover. What I discovered was that I was more drawn to business, so I switched my major.
When I think about experiments now, I think about them from a completely different perspective. Our lives are our own personal research laboratory, and we need to continue to do more research until we figure out what is working and what isn't…
Make It A Masterpiece
How is your life like your favorite painting? How is it different?
I have been thinking a lot about the creative process lately. And how in the day-to-day rush to get things accomplished, we separate our creativity from the way we live our lives. Maybe that works if we are going for robot-like productivity. But it's terrible for our deepest, truest selves.
That's because we are all wired for creativity. And when we leave that out, we are leaving out a big part of who we are. We are leaving…
Bruce Lee Paradox
As you could imagine, I'm often mistaken for Bruce Lee. Now, I know what you're thinking, Bruce Lee was not a bald man. But when it comes to leadership in the corporate arena, I have a particular methodology I call the Bruce Lee Paradox.
You see, most people think that the way to accomplish something great is with extreme force. But in reality, intention is far more powerful than force.
Bruce talked about the one-inch punch. The power of it didn't come from the force, however. The power of it…
Art on Fire
Have you ever seen art on fire? I just watched a documentary on the Burning Man Festival called "Art on Fire." Wow! Think what you want about Burning Man, but the concept of building truly massive, epic pieces of art in the middle of the desert has always captivated me. People show up, collaborate, create bold, inspiring artistic statements against a desert backdrop of incredible beauty for one week. Then it's burned - and within a few days, the entire festival is gone without a trace. It can n…
