Deep Thoughts for Thanksgiving?
Nope, not today. The only deep thought for now is why it’s so hard to remind myself of these things everyday: I have a hernia I need fixed, I can’t straighten my left arm all the way, I don’t have feeling in two fingers on my left hand, the bone at the point where my…

365 Days @36.5 Degrees: Mistakes, Incremental Behavioral Change, and Success
The initial stages of my 365 days @ 36.5 degrees journey started just like everyone else who begins something with the goal of self-improvement.

What If I Don’t Love My Job?
I read an inspiring article recently about a young NBA basketball player who told the story of the first time he met Michael Jordan many years earlier.

Is Variety the Spice of Life…and Leadership?
Sometimes it is good to simply ponder a question and see where it leads you. Today is one of those days. I am a firm believer in process, hence my book and leadership curriculum “The Process, Art, and Science of Leadership”.

365 Days @ 36.5 Degrees: “There’s just no time!”
I will never forget it. Navy SEAL training circa 1993, aka BUD/S. For all the ways BUD/S trips up the SEAL candidates, it is actually pretty structured. We generally knew the schedule for the day and could prepare as appropriate, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Except that day! It was a standard two-mile ocean swim, which…
