What Is Love?
Tweet I’m writing this post to really get it, as a reminder to myself to read again in the future and to have the notes to review in the future. The divorce was not fun (it was miserable) and it’s not something that you want to do again. Remember how you felt in the fights [...]
Wild at Heart Boot Camp – Hawaii
Tweet Life continues to prove to be anything but stable. 2010 was a very difficult year for me and produced a dramatic transition in my life.

The Humanity of a Marathon – San Antonio Rock N Roll Marathon
Tweet On Sunday I experienced humanity in a way that I never had before by attending the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio Marathon and Half-Marathon. The race was a great equalizer.

Tweet High achievers can get caught up in the perfection of their work. ”I don’t want to put my name on it unless it’s perfect.” Sound familiar? I’ve said it too. It’s easy to get paralyzed by perfection. You need the words to be just a little better in this email or you need the [...]
Can You See The Future?
Tweet When you speak to one of your employees or coworkers, you have a choice. You know these people are growing, as we all are. You decide daily whether you recognize the people that you are speaking to as they are right now or as you know who they can and will be. Choosing to [...]
The Difference Between Agreement and Commitment
Tweet A Los Angeles police officer wrapped up a morning meeting where they were reminded on the importance of wearing their bulletproof vests.

Rerouting Your Life | Interview with Dave Peckens
Tweet I’m a lucky guy. People contact me regularly because they need someone to talk to about changing jobs. These are people from all walks of life – older, younger, educated and not, those with “dream jobs” and those looking for a better life. We sit down either face-to-face, via phone or Skype and talk [...]
