The 1988 fires in Yellowstone National Park were ugly.

A total of 793,880 acres (36% of the park) were affected by the wildfires. The entire park closed to all non-emergency personnel for the first time in its history. The fires were considered unprecedented at the time.

I visited the park in 2011 and the effects were still quite visible 23 years later.

The Park rebounded quickly, though. The fire was even beneficial in some ways. 

According to Wikipedia "The recovery from the fires bega...

Are you at the edge? Have you had enough?

It's a good place to be, you know - the edge of enough, that is. Because when you've truly had enough - you're ripe for change. 

If you still want to hang on...

If you feel like you can take it a little longer...

If the cost is still too great to make a change...

If the old is still better than the unknown or the new...

Well then... you're just not ready.

You can SAY you want something. You can think it would be NICE to have something...but the tr...

We were looking for "safe" TV programming for our viewing pleasure on the nights our 8-year-old daughter, Elli, is with us. We decided on a few episodes of Netflix's "The Crown" series that, in Season 1, chronicles Queen Elizabeth's first years as queen. Very enlightening.

I never thought about it from the perspective of the burden it placed on her shoulders and the sacrifices made by her loved ones. Of course she was tempted (and attempted) many times to impose her own will on a situation and ...

What are your #challenges in these times of #uncertainty?

We are all dealing with social distancing in our own way. And...it's pretty predictable if you know what predominant style each team member possesses.

I thought I'd throw in a little DISC humor today...Do any of these sound familiar?

SOME BACKGROUND: DISC is a widely accepted model of communication and behavior first identified by American psychologist William Marston. Millions of people have taken it to better understand their (and their team's) behavioral tendencies and maximize their stre...

What if it were easy? I mean, we tend to make things so hard, and overly complicated. And then we ruminate on how hard it is. Ever catch yourself doing that? That's when I ask myself "What if it were easy?" 

That question is what we in the coaching arena refer to as a "pattern interrupt."

A Pattern interrupt is a technique to change a particular thought, behavior or situation. Behavioral psychology and NLP (neuro linguistic programming) use this technique to interrupt and change thought patter...

You're having to make decisions...FAST.

Faster than you'd like. 

In the past you've made the tough calls, and been very confident about it.

You had time to consider and weight the options. You consulted your executive team. You had considerable knowledge about what you were up against. You had time to get used to the idea of the consequences of your decision. And you delivered your decisions confidently - even the bad news.

Because you were confident about your decisions...it showed.

You in...

Whatever it is you want...to get it you must make a daily practice of it.

Like a line from FOX's cheeky show Lucifer...What is it you desire?

• Have an epic romantic relationship?
• 10X your income?
• Receive a promotion with the title and responsibility you always wanted?
• Get in the best shape of your life?
• Move into your dream home?
• Have a wonderful relationship with your kids?
• Be happy and fulfilled?

Whatever it is...we'll see just how bad you really want it. It will be obvious. HOW? B...
