"To begin, one does not have to be in the throes of a disaster to benefit from my area of practice. While demanding situations in which bridging the chasm between an unexpected outcome and the reality of unrealized results is certainly something for which one becomes known, it is often the ability to see a problem on the distant horizon and structure the appropriate response that has generated the greatest level of client satisfaction.

Uncovering Soul In The Workplace
The San Francisco Chronicle recently reported "soul is in". In a headline calling it "the buzzword of the '90s" a front-page story reported that some 322 citations for the word appear in the current edition of Books in Print.
Two Dirty Words…
It’s interesting how the meanings of certain words change over time. These two words used to represent the apex of values and ethics. Today these two words cause anxiety, disdain and divisiveness...
Understanding the Need for Radical Change
Why do organizations often turn on those within it who have their best interests at heart? Why do change efforts so frequently end in 'more of the same'? Much of it has to do with the cultural systems operative in each organization. Change is scary, and the 'poison we know' often seems preferable to the 'poison we don't know'. Even rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic can be doubly aggravating when there's someone coming along behind you, putting them all back where they were. Radical change is more than 'thinking outside the box' — it's acting outside the organizational box.
African Brands

I believe we can change the meaning of holding people accountable to one that is more balanced and not nearly as punitive. It is not just a matter of spin, it is a matter of attitude. I have a set of eight "Be-Attitudes" that can make a big difference if they are consistently applied.

Are you STREAKIN\' or SLUMPIN\'?
Up or down? Making money or working hard? On a roll or in a rut? Where do you fall today? What exactly is a SLUMP?

Why don’t they call it a hitting slump? Why isn’t it known as a batting streak?
