Sort of. But… (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last weekend, somewhere in 14 laps around a one-mile grass track at the Runningman Festival, in 90-plus-degree sun, I said out loud, “I am a runner.”For those who know me, that probably sounds a bit weird. I’ve run 3 marathons, 30 half marathons, 3 Ragnars, and 3 sprint triathlons. When someone asks, “Are you a runner?” I tend to say, “Sort of. But I’m not the kind who runs because they love it and have to do it every day. I do it because it’s a challenge, and I love the race vibe of people doin
The Thing You Forgot Made the Difference (opens the original)

What refueling strategy is no longer in place?That was the question that had the biggest ah-ha moment in a workshop session I led with a non-profit team. Their past two years have been draining, with a significant loss of government funding that forced them to downsize the team and the work they were doing in the community.

Read excerpt
Every acquisition gets financial due diligence. Someone pores over the numbers, stress-tests the assumptions, checks what’s actually being bought versus what the deck says is being bought.

What was the best thing about your summer?That was the question that kicked off this week’s business mastermind session. Everyone answered about our businesses because we assumed that was the intent. Until it got to the leader. She hadn’t specified work at all, and she talked about what she’d gotten to do with her family.After the call, I started thinking about the highlights of my own summer. Honestly, it’s flown by, and we didn’t do all the things I imagined we would do. Nothing went wrong. Ev
