If You Could Change the World What Would You Do?
You are changing the world. One way or the other what you do matters. That’s what I remind every member of every audience I speak to, every person I coach and frankly every person who will listen. We are all connected… this is not some cosmic, New Age drivel but rather the evidence of brain […]
Does Your Work Make You a Better Person?
Over many decades I’ve helped, directly or indirectly, thousands of people discover their purpose in life. One night long ago I was awakened by a voice that said, “Your purpose is to help others find theirs.” That’s pretty clear and it’s made for a very interesting career. I have worked with, and spoken with many, many […]
Why are so Many Women Leaving Their Jobs?
It’s a man’s world. That’s not just a song, it’s a reality. And it makes it tough on women who excel in most workplaces. That’s why record numbers of younger women abandon the workplace between ages 30 to 40. It’s true. Research from the McKinsey Global Instituteconfirms that 30% of female employees who have worked for […]
Are You Becoming Obsolete?
Almost everything you have ever been taught about business leadership has changed. The ridiculous belief that the primary purpose of business is to make money has become a catastrophic mindset. Ironically, it’s not only catastrophic for the planet but also for business success. That’s because profit-centric leadership actually kills creativity, innovation and employee effort. Think […]
Why Being Bright, Bold, and Real Will Set You Free
Yesterday I met with Melissa, a female CEO of a large California health plan. Business is good. It turns out people really do want health insurance if it’s well-designed, fairly priced and enables you to get high quality medical care when you need it. Melissa is a force of nature. I have known her for […]
Why We Select Lousy Leaders
About this time in most political campaigns a majority of voters begin to look at who is running and say, “Is this the best we can do?” Seriously, out of 335 million citizens, are the people up on stage really the most qualified candidates to lead the most powerful nation in the world? Are you […]
My Deepest Source of Job Satisfaction
This morning I’m teaching a large class of corporate employees my course entitled Supercharge Your Career and Work Like a Genius. It’s a spiritual experience for me to teach the class. By that I mean that I am fortunate enough to help people identify their personal bull’s-eye that’s at the intersection of their design and their […]
3 New Skills You’ll Need in the Future to Thrive
As most of you know I am not a fan of the current state of high-level leaders of our major businesses or government. I recently saw the movie The Big Short. It’s award-winning author Michael Lewis’ journalistic account of how Wall Street bankers wrecked the world economy in 2008. Their hard power, one-dimensional thinking caused average everyday people […]
Arianna Huffington or Sheryl Sandberg – Which Coach Would You Choose?

She’s been a journalist, political commentator, candidate for U.S. Senate and is the founder of the Huffington Post. She knows what it is to achieve high status and […]
My Big Idea to Change the World in 2016
Secular economists and so-called business experts have commandeered the purpose of business like blood-thirsty pirates taking over a merchant ship. The ship is our moral minds. We have been taken prisoner. Since the 1970’s when the popular economist Milton Friedman insisted that the only purpose of business was to make money, greed and shortcuts have […]
