ContinueAnother Ending, Another Beginning
A few years ago I was at a friend’s house for a big holiday gathering. The house was full of adults tending to a lot of loud, energetic kids. I was just sitting there quietly, watching one of the guys my age tend to his young son. He looked up, and as if reading my […]
ContinueCalm at Christmas?!
For anyone who lives at the end of a long driveway or spends a lot of time traveling for work, a big snowstorm is always unwelcome news. But after the yard is plowed and the roads are cleaned off, few things are more quiet and peaceful than a fresh blanket of snow. The mornings are […]
ContinueThe First Step
There’s an old saying that goes, “The first step is always the hardest.” Ironically it can also be the easiest. It ultimately depends on which direction you’re heading. If you’re trying to improve something about yourself or the path you’re on, it’s true – taking the first step can be incredibly difficult. But if you’re […]
ContinueDo You Need Glasses?
Whether it’s your candidate, your kids, or your team, do you struggle seeing them with objective eyes? Most people do. And many people don’t even realize it.

The next couple weeks mark the beginning of the first semester for students everywhere. For some reason, this week I recalled some advice I received from Dr. Owens, a Management professor in my last semester of college over 16 years ago. One of the on-going assignments in his class was to keep a daily journal […]
