Blog postThere is greatness in the day at hand! There is greatness in you, and there is greatness all around you. It’s a matter of which lens you’re looking through, as to whether you realize it, or not. If you have on the negative lenses that people hand you or that the world throws in your face, then that’s how you’ll see. But, if you step back for a moment, go for a walk, listen to upbeat music, or find something to laugh about – then, you’ll see the greatness that is litera

Blog postThere seems to be a growing desire for generalists, again. The pendulum swings between the want for specialists and generalists every few decades. I wonder if it coincides with the lifetimes of the preceding generations of people, going in and out of the workplace. Meaning, let’s say something in particular needs to be developed or … Continue reading Being a Generalist vs a Specialist →

Blog postThere is a time, when time stands still
And in that moment, we still feel
That we have lost, somehow not found
The world beyond this hallowed ground.
And when we seek to put our hands
Forth in reach for woman and man,
We do so stretch and make our might
That through the days, we feel their plight.
It seems to be, with furrowed brow,
We take their pains, on us, somehow
Not knowing that He hears their cries
And wishes us rele -

Blog postRecently, my wife and I were in Chicago with our three grown kids to attend the oldest child’s graduation from college. As we were walking around the city, my wife reminded me how leadership development is a long-term investment with a lifelong payoff. Seeing our kids interact with each other, we quietly smiled to ourselves, excited to see how well they treated each other and the other people around them on the street.
Don’t kid yourself, they’re normal human beings, like -
Blog postSomebody asked me recently, “How do you transfer a winning mindset from one person to another?” Short answer: it’s a process. I wish it were as simple as magically wiggling your fingers next to your head and then pointing them towards whomever you want to help…but, it’s not.
However, it can be done. Meaning, yes, you can transfer the information, ideas, and perspective from yourself to someone else. But, there are two sides of the equation: 1) what you giv -
Blog postThe ocean calls my name –
It shouts for my existence.
So, I appear before the water’s edge
And walk forward into it.
Likewise, the heavens declare the glory
Of the king above the earth,
And all of mankind knows
The Master rules with love.
Though kingdoms rise and fall,
Capitulation will not bring forth
A resolution of timed response
Against forces that persist and prevail.
Times will seek the heavens’ reach

Blog postRiding a wave and dancing among stars,
We glide across the celestial floor,
Making our way from center to side,
Back to front, there and across.
Our toes touch down,
Then break away,
Lifting into the sky
Scents of vanilla on paradise.
Music jumps and shines
Hour upon hour
And then slows.
Beats go down,
And bring with them a ventured look.
To the side,
Morning breaks and carries forth its light.

Blog postStillness of the moment
Is a welcomed friend.
Lives are calm,
People at peace,
Roads not traveled,
Solitude amplified
Across time and space
To include sounds and feelings.
If you listen carefully,
You can hear the dust falling
From the mantle to the bricks below,
From a window to the floor.
The quiet is gentle on the ears,
A welcomed friend
In the midst of constant strangers.

Blog postA few months ago, I learned that a mental process of mine had a long Greek name associated with it. I set out to discover what this mental process was, who else had it, how it helped or hindered us, and how best to take advantage of what I have come to call the “Gift of Synesthesia”.
Earlier this year while walking into work, a field of rye grass and the leaves on a row of eucalyptus trees were going back and forth in rhythm with the blowing wind. I stopped and stared beca -
Blog postPerspective sits back
A little farther than normal, today.
Today at the table
It’s about two and a half feet away,
But it looks like it’s miles.
Actually, I know it’s only a little bit –
Instead of far –
But the whole perspective thing,
It adds flavor to the moment.
Sometimes the moment just disappears
Into the oblivion of the past,
But this moment –
It holds my attention longer and stronger,
Because it presents i
