After a very, very long and hard night, I had an incredible practice with my builder. I had not slept all night and it was very late his time.

I don’t…
When the leader stops believing, someone will soon be leaving. When you do not believe someone is speaking truth, try this on. Simply state - "I don't believe you." Tune in. When you do not believe someone is capable, try this on. "I don't believe in you." Tune in. Be specific, concrete, and actionable with … Continue reading I don’t…
Cornerstone habits
What are those cornerstone habits that drive other positive behaviors and habits? For me it's a few - writing, good sleep, working out.

That … Continue reading You Think You Know the Truth?
