Putting "You" in the Denominator: The Renaissance of Self 2008-11-18 02:57:03 The Oracle of Delphi told Socrates that he was the wisest man in all of Athens. After many years of reflection, Socrates had the answer. He was the wisest, because he knew he wasn’t the wisest. Pretty cool, huh? Leaders know the road of self-knowledge and self-discovery are never ending. This yellow brick road leads to many rewards, but not pot of gold. The rewards found here are c Read more:Putting

Congratulations President Obama...A 21st Century Leader 2008-11-04 23:11:47 Barack Obama
is a man of paradox, as most leaders are. There is much to be admired of the man and his organization. From humble beginnings and a story only America could dream up, he will assume the role and take the stage as the first African-American President
of the United States, and the most powerful man in the world. He grew up without a father figure, and yet took time out of every ni Read more:Century

The Top Ten Values of e-Learning (2) 2008-10-21 13:16:41 C.S. Lewis said, "Experience, the most brutal of teachers; but you learn, my God do you learn." Meet the reigning king of education; experience. And usually Dr. Experience teaches us from a rather coercive worldview. We learn because the pain of the experience is greater than our willingness to go through the same pain again - thus we learn.

Are you Alive? Ask Yourself. 2008-09-05 13:14:00 Recently a CEO of a Fortune 500 company was asked if he would stand up for a principle he confessed he believed in, if it meant that his job might come into jeopardy. He said no – in front of thousands of people. As leaders, we have to applaud and admire his honesty. But can we really respect his position?

Executive Coaching: Paying the Price Without Counting the Costs 2008-08-27 19:58:17 ”Roll the bones…”
In the course of human events, each of us has that moment; the moment when we face the stark realization that in order to grow as a human, we must change - fundamentally. The level of thinking or activity that has led us to this moment will always keep us here, at this level, unless we do something different.

Land: An Original American Birthright 2008-08-10 09:01:24 There’s just something special about walking land. There’s something even more special about walking your own land. The photo below is the spot on the back side of my farm, looking due north, where I hope to build a small log cabin in the next few years. Since moving to the farm in 1998, I have always cherished this particular spot on our property where all you can see is e Read more:American

Stamping Impressions: How Childhood Hobbies Lead to Lifelong Pursuits 2008-07-30 13:19:00 My wife was cleaning out a section of our “barn” this week – it’s really not a barn – it’s actually a workout room doing double duty as my muse for futuristic dreams – aka – storage for my drums and piano and bass guitar. Nevertheless, “barn” sounds great when you really want to live idyllically l Read more:Childhood

The Career That’s Not in my Future: Although Secretly I Wish It Could Be… 2008-07-18 06:10:00 The days are long and arduous, standing on your feet 6-8 hours at a time. The lights are hot. The director can sometimes be, well, rather demanding. There’s mental pressure to get your lines correct, and make sure the timing’s right too, or it’ll look too plastic.

The Rule of Seven: Completing the Human Business Machine Puzzle 2008-04-14 10:23:27 It’s a blessing, and a curse. A few years into my coaching practice I discovered the VIA Signature Strengths from Martin Seligman’s group at the University of Pennsylvania (www.authentichappiness.org).

Origins of a Company: Never Turn Down an Opportunity to Have Lunch 2008-02-16 10:34:23 It seemed like a routine request. I had known Joel through a mutual friend, and he seemed like a quality guy. I knew he believed in the coaching model, because he himself had a coach. In fact, we talked about the importance of coaching, and the impact it could have on business, a few times before.
