Ric, Serendipitous? Frankly I do not believe it was completely by chance that I came to my Saturday morning writing place – to write this to you – and found myself in a conversation with Jacob. Jacob is a young man who works at this coffee shop and continually pays value to me and my [...]

Focus is the most challenging of unifying transactions for the leader in this whirl-of-life we know as the 21st Century.

Many years back, during an employee’s performance review, she boldly declared how she hated her work but believed she performed it in a manner exceeding expectations. To this day I stand behind my response; “That is impossible.” My response also included a rating of meeting expectations and a conversation about seeking work she could love. As [...]

This time each year is my “planning season.” It is a time where I review my focus and narrow my approach in making more real the institution of what I know: A friend once challenged me to “Build an organization that confirms and makes real what you know.” And for me, I have added, “and [...]

It seems providential that I began to structure this post on Thanksgiving day; a holiday of collective thankfulness.

This is a rather personal post as I reflect on what gratitude means to my own [...]
Freedom and Confidence – Trusting in the Flow

There is freedom in trust. There is promise in the flow. In my book, Wading the Stream of Awareness, I illustrate flow as being present with life.

Back in our years of working together, I came to know Mark well. I became accustomed to Mark’s intense presence – a way of being in a task that I learned to appreciate as part of who he is at the core. If one had asked me to briefly describe Mark’s management style, I might [...]
