Ask the Right Questions

Smart questions get results. Uninformed questions get you nowhere. Those are two facts that apply in all circumstances—in all areas of life. For instance, we’ve had a streetlight near our house that has not worked for more than two years. One of my best friends...

The Elephant and the Rider

Psychologists will tell us—and we all know all too well—that we have two “always-on” parts of our brain—one is the emotional side and the other is the rational side. Both are involved in decision making of all kinds. Both are necessary to establish lasting good...
Overachieving Without Overdoing It

Overachieving Without Overdoing It

Part 2 of 2 So, in my last blog post, I talked about how most overachievers have something difficult, something challenging in their pasts that spurs them to overachieve. For some people, overachieving is the mind’s way of moving past the past. For others, their...

Vacation

Vacation

Summer’s here, and it’s time again to go somewhere with your family/friends and do something fun away from the office. I recently had an executive confide in me that he hated to go on vacation! It’s not that he didn’t want to be with his family and his friends. It was...
