Creating the Work & Life You LOVE

Wretchedly Out Of Shape

You’re wretchedly out of shape.

I could be wrong.

But I doubt it.

I’m not talking about your yoga or pilates or gym prowess.

I’m talking about your brain.

The ability to do deep work is one of the most valuable attributes in business and in life. I can help you and your team increase your focus and acuity, so that you’re a lot more productive, doing work that really matters. More done, in less time, without the overwhelm.

About The Poop

Did you know that there’s a link between poop and productivity?

There is!

I discovered it recently when preparing for a keynote.

Productivity doesn’t mean working harder. It means working smarter. More done, in less time. Without the stress or overwhelm. I can help you and your team with a keynote or workshop. Go HERE to check availability.

Escape The Riptide

Are you caught in the riptide, the current, the slipstream of life?

If you are, you aren’t alone.

Back at the beginning of the year, we set an important business goal. Then realized this week, that we’d done nothing, really, to advance it.

One day turns into the next; and before you know it some serious time has passed you by.

But it’s not too late to recommit, to start again.

It’s never too late.

And, usually, there are super-simple solutions.

If you want help getting to that goal that really matters to you easier and faster, we can help. We have an extraordinary team of coaches who can help you map out a strategic plan, banish the obstacles, and beat back the resistance. Email me. Let’s see if there’s a fit. No cost or obligation.

Running For Your Life

Why?

Why do you run?

I get this question a lot.

Especially now as I train for my 100 mile ultra.

I could give a George Mallory-like response when asked why he wanted to climb Everest: he said, “Because it’s there.”

“I run because I can,” I might say.

Which, like Mallory’s response, is shallow and stupid.

The real answer is much more complex; and a bit paradoxical.

I run because it draws me into the present moment. 

When I’m running trails or in the dark or even dodging traffic along a busy road, I must be wholly present; for if I’m not, I’ll trip on a root or get hit by a car.

I run because it connects me with me: my lungs, my heart, my limbs, my joints. Am I thirsty? Tired? Hungry? What is my body telling me? How shall I care for it?

I run because it connects me with my awesome running partner, my beautiful wife Ann. We’re there in the moment. Just the two of us. We can deconstruct western literature or talk politics or religion or just be quiet. Together.

I run because it grounds me: literally. I am aware that I am connected to the ground. I experience my body running across that ground. 

I feel the earth and air and sky. I feel the sting of the cold and the warmth of the sun. The rain, and the wind, and the snow. I see coyote and antelope. I see towering peaks; hear the sea crashing along the shores. I see the stars in the sky; bear witness to the waxing and waning of the moon. I revel in the magnificent dawns; watch the light fade at dusk.

And running connects me to that greater ground. The Ground of All Being. 

Source for me. 

Spirit. God. Creator. 

I experience the “thin places” where the “I and Thou” dissolve. 

And Being is all there is.

In all these moments, I remember that I am Alive.

In this precious fleeting gift that is my life.

Howard Thurman once wrote: “Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.”

What makes you come alive?

Running is my jam.

What’s yours?

Eager to re-discover what lights you up? Let’s connect for a call. Email me: [email protected]

A Harsh Reality

It seemed like such a good idea.

In the moment, at least.

Now… well… hmm.

Not quite as jazzy.

But that’s often the way it is, isn’t it?

It’s one thing to think about it.

It’s another thing entirely to make it happen.

Small steps; small, consistent steps; over time.

That’s what it takes to transform a dream into something real.

Commit to taking a small step every single day.
