Dropping the Crystal Ball
Time to Drop The Ball So something happened this week, something that really frosted by parsnips, and it wasn’t the dip in the overnight low. I picked up a scent in the air that literally took my breath away. It was the acrid odor of defeat. I had been hunting for a place to park for a meeting th...

What to Do When Facing a Three-Way

How Fit is Your Business for the Future
  How Fit is Your Business for the Future? I love to get out and enjoy the fresh air. Movement seems to unlock mental blocks for me, and I usually come back with a new perspective for a perplexing conundrum. As I was sharing this viewpoint with a friend that was training for a triathlon, it ...

Committing to Success Is More Than Just An Idea
I used to feel that fear was a fickle traveling companion; constantly present yet quietly lurking in the corners as an unnoticed observer, making its presence known when it was least appreciated.  With relentless intensity, it would appear at the crux of an important decision.

Are You Ready for Your Summit?
  “Are you ready?” Those words were about to have a new meaning to me. In the past I had uttered them flippantly for circumstances less impactful than this: Standing at the base camp of Mt. Kilimanjaro, under a cloudless night sky, with a spectacular array of stars illuminating the steep cli...
