We humans are a complex bunch. We haven’t quite evolved to where our pre-frontal cortex can separate out fact from perception, as much as we might think and believe that we have. I haven’t. You haven’t.
So, what does that mean and why should you care?
Well, whenever we have a difference of opinion we tend to take our own side. Never is that more true than when we know we’re right. Because, when we’re right, we are right, and that means that there is no “other side of the story.”

The Best Leadership Book
Randy Pausch wrote his book The Last Lecture partly as a way to leave a legacy to his children when he knew that he would not live to see them grow up. Ironically, had he not had the pancreatic cancer that took his life, most of us would never have known this computer science engineer and professor whose fame was mostly within the computer science community.

The Power of Now Strikes Corporate America… Maybe

It’s rare that good ideas from popular culture make it into the board room. For some reason, they seem un-businesslike, maybe sometimes a little “woo-woo.”
Reading from my January 2009 Fastcompany (yes, very behind), I noticed some quotes from the CEO of Cisco, John Chambers. “Focus on what we can influence, and not over- or under-react to things we cannot. It’s a question of living in the world as it is, not the way we want it to be.”

Too Fat to Get a Job

I was waiting at the bar before a networking event, a man and a woman walked in. They were talking about his job search, loudly enough for me to stop reading my Kindle and look up. (This sounds like a bad joke. WIsh it was.)

Why Goal Setting is a Waste of Time
SMART goals. Set goals to be successful. New Year’s Resolution’s don’t work, set goals. You can’t make progress without goals. Sound familiar?
You’d think that as a coach, I’d be all over this goal-setting business. You’ve heard about goal setting all your life, haven’t you? Parents, teachers, and self-help gurus will all tell you that you need goals. People with goals are more successful, right?
Not entirely. There are a couple of challenges with the way most people set goals.
