Be The Change!

What Are You Committed To?

I recently participated in a conference on Global Transformation with 900 people from around the world.  We were asked “What is our commitment to the world?”  And we were asked to be in an inquiry about our commitments.

Random Thoughts On Giving Up Control

I recently hired an executive coach. Every coach needs a coach, right? After my first session I wondered if I’d regret the next 8 months because that’s how long I committed to working with my coach. He said he works with “powerful people.”  I thought: “ok – that would be me.” And I know most […]

Is it me? Or is there an epidemic of people not wanting to be accountable? Am I the only one who hears people complaining about how everyone else is not being accountable? Whether it’s at work, at home, with our elected officials or our friends – people seem to be quick to blame anyone and/or […]
