Simon Sinek provides a great summary of the conundrum of millennials in the workplace as a follow-on from Gary Vaynerchuk’s perspective on this “lost generation” and procrastination I blogged about recently.
I recently received an email from an American (in California) explaining how to protect yourself from Ebola… I actually laughed out loud! This is a smart individual and after the laughter and giggling died down, I had to ask myself how can smart people be led to believe such ridiculous things? I understand that IN […]
Seriously, play along with me for a few minutes. What if you could go back in time? Would you approach, talk to or even dare to kiss that special girl or boy that captured your attention?

Every once in a while I get an e-mail from a client that is so powerful that I have to share it with you. This one’s anonymous for obvious reasons. It puts things in perspective because UNLESS YOU take note of your own progress, you might not realise HOW MUCH YOU ARE ACTUALLY DOING… This […]
Below is a quick chart that a lot of people can relate to. I call it the Then and Now Chart. It’s not meant to be a value judgment, just a realisation some people have about some of the disappointments they have. Someone very wise drew this for me in my early twenties (and I […]
