How to Excel in the Face of Tough Competition

Stop Wasting Time and Start Living Your Dream

Approaching 2021 with Resilience


As you look back over this last year, I want to encourage you to think a little differently. Early in the year, I asked you to consider the whole decade in front of you. I also challenged you to create a plan for fulfilling on your biggest, most impossible dream over those 10 years. With […]


Checking In While the World Checks Out


A lot of people look forward to the holidays as a chance to check out. I do things a little differently. I use the holidays to check IN. The holidays are the perfect time to revisit your dreams. To take stock of your training. To lead and focus on your vision for the future. AND, […]
