A MAJOR update… I have some exciting news to share – and quite a few updates. If you have wondered why I have not been posting as much, it’s because I have launched a new consulting practice and am now back to living the entrepreneur’s life in my homeland of Hawai’i (and LOVING it). TheContinue reading “March 14, 2023”

Is indecision killing your execution? In my last post, I brought up the idea that strategic execution is essentially a decision-making science. This week, I want to go down the rabbit hole a bit more. And talk about the exact opposite of good decision-making: indecision. Why isn’t bad decision-making the opposite of good decision-making? LetContinue reading “December 9, 2022”

Are you a strategic leader? Do you know the number one reason that businesses fail? It’s poor decision-making. Bad decisions, inconsistent decisions, late decisions, no decisions… they all have a way of literally mucking everything up. And this isn’t just a “business” truth. It’s a Life truth. And it is an idea that I haveContinue reading “November 21, 2022”

Who are you becoming? In my last blog, I dove into the idea that success is truly about one single idea: bringing our BEING and DOING into full alignment.

Is your definition of success generating failure? Success is a deceptive word. On one hand, there is the exhilaration of working at something – especially something that is extremely hard – and achieving success as the final outcome. On the other hand, there is the moment that comes afterward. One month later. One year later.Continue reading “September 29, 2022”

Information is control. Or so the myth says… A couple of months ago, I received a “positive” test result for cancer. I was referred by my doctor to a specialist who would need to do further tests and offer a proper diagnosis. “Don’t be worried,” I was told. “This could be nothing.” Now, after goingContinue reading “August 17, 2022”

What trauma teaches us about stress… Sorry for the silence. I’ve been traveling like crazy (which incudes literally going around the world for business) and… I’ve also been doing some work on myself. Maybe it was subconsciously inspired by the concept of vulnerabilities that I explored in my last post, but I found myself diggingContinue reading “July 13, 2022”

Aren’t you afraid of the risk? I bought a car this past weekend. A brand new one. And the experience was almost perfect. Except for one thing. And I knew it was coming… the high pressure sales attempt at the end when the Finance Manager (aka the final sales person) pushes to sell a host of extraContinue reading “April 26, 2022”

Something for leaders… Leaders, I need to talk with you for a moment. In the podcast that I shared previously, I brought up the idea that – as leaders – we are responsible to create an environment of peak performance, to build a space where our people can flourish and be their best and ultimatelyContinue reading “April 10, 2022”
