Every morning I’ve been enjoying our backyard, my coffee, a fire, and a little reading. Yesterday I was reading a book that was talking about reinvention. It said, “What you build today will either empower you or restrict you tomorrow. It will either serve as a platform for the next level of success or as a…
DetailsOn Saturday, we got the kids out on the lake. My brother-in-law picked up a couple of Sea-Doos, which was very exciting for all of the kids. On top of it being their first time being towed behind a Sea-Doo, it was also their first time attempting to wakeboard. They made it look so simple.…
DetailsOur house renovations continue. Yesterday we had a bunch of new windows installed. You may remember a few weeks back, what started with an unexpected water leak led to some significant repairs, which led to new windows, which led to additional exterior work. Of course, now that we've seen how good these new windows look,…

DetailsSunday was a cold and wet day. The kids were in the basement playing some video games when they called me down to check out a new version of Pac-Man they had found. As I watched them play this new version of Pac-Man, which contained elements of the classic we all know, I was struck…
DetailsWe moved into a 26-year-old home back in November. The home is set on a quiet street. We're on a beautiful lot with woods and a ravine running through the backyard, and views of the lake across the street from the front. My oldest daughter has the best room in the house. It's a second-story…
DetailsYou may not know this, but I've created 12 courses for LinkedIn. I was supposed to be flying to Santa Barbara TODAY to shoot a couple more courses. These online courses, available on their LinkedIn learning platform, cover everything from retail sales & service to customer loyalty, to data-driven sales management, to sales gamification, and…

I continue to work with a variety of clients across many different industries, including their sales teams, customer-facing people, and many executive teams.
