Wise Advice I heard Dr James Jackson speak tonight. He is an author, speaker, humanitarian, cultural economist, and the founder of www.projectcure.org.

However, this advice will not work […]

I didn’t speak at them, I had a relaxed conversation with them that created a tremendous amount of value (based on the feedback, not my ego). Reflecting on this afterwards, I concluded that the vast majority of situations we find ourselves in will go […]

Puzzling

Puzzling If we dumped a 1000-piece puzzle on the table, we would expect that it will take some time to put it all together. We would expect to be challenged and have periods of fast progress and periods of slow progress. We’d have pieces that don’t seem to fit anywhere and pieces that look like […]

Entitled to their opinion Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion – even if we don’t agree with it. A differing opinion doesn’t mean that other person is stupid, wrong, or a troll. People often forget this. And, it seems to be getting worse with the ramp up to the presidential race. Here’s […]
