Why Slow is Fast and Fast is Slow.
It happened right before the Daytona Speedway and got me thinking about the advice I give my clients about slowing down. It goes like this –
Expectations in Love And Everything
When I first met my wife, Joi, I knew we would be married and live happily ever after. But there was a problem. Joi didn’t see it that way – at least not right away. If life has taught me anything, almost nobody is on the same page when they first meet. We might be […]
Exploring Your Possibilities
What do I want to be when I grow up? The first time you ask yourself that question is when you are very young – if you ever asked it at all. Frankly, somebody else usually asks you, and you probably don’t have an answer, so you just take off running with this thing called […]

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Your best life is built sequentially, one level at a time. Forget the elevator, climb all the stairs to the top, and you’ll have lasting success.

Be Your Own Cheerleader
Do you remember what it was like to be in 1st grade? It was a time when everybody lavished you with encouragement for being YOU – and because you finished your art project without eating the glue. Those were beautiful times. But you may have noticed things have changed since you were okay to take […]
Improve Your Communication Skills
Today, you are going to have opportunities to communicate. Here’s how to create conversations that connect: 1) Meet folks where they are. Please pay attention to how their day is going.
