The Revenant is 2021
Have you seen “The Revenant”? It’s not for the weak of heart. If 2020 were a movie scene, it would be when mountain man Hugh Glass (played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who won an Oscar for this one) is mauled by a mother grizzly bear and left for dead. That is the scene that gets all […]
Is Ted Lasso A Good Coach?
Ted Lasso just swept up at the Emmys. Good for them, it’s the best, and only, series on any streaming platform I’ve ever watched more than 3 episodes in a row. In fact, last year when I got a new computer and received the AppleTV+ subscription, I watched the first Ted Lasso episode and stated: […]
Everything That’s Wrong In Your Life
Everything that’s wrong in your life is because you broke a Promise to yourself! You may not like that statement, but having now dug deep enough into this language and concept, it stands up with some heavy testing. And don’t think I’m just pointing one finger at you, because three are pointing back at me, […]
Ever Seen A Manager Cry? The ICM Process
Have you ever seen a Manager cry? Not because you did something wrong… Because the people they lead are giving them compliments, great words to hang their hat on, and clarifying attributes about them they’ve never seen in themselves! This happened the other day when Allen Roberds and I, Co-Founders of The Promise Institute, […]
Promise To A Friend
When I received the devastating news that my best friend had passed from COVID-19 in January 2021 my heart broke in one fell swoop. Not only was he my dearest friend, a father figure, a mentor, but was my absolute hero in all aspects of life. As we discussed funeral plans with […]
Dealing with The Haters
Dealing with The Haters. How do you go about it? Pulling back the curtain for a moment here to go inside what’s behind a normal social media post…. Emotionally there’s always an initial sting to upload a video and then the next day see there are 8 views for your effort. 1 Like and […]
Ready To Buy
This past week I pulled up at the FORD Dealership and calmed my nerves. Knowing I was walking in the door in the next minute, I was the equivalent of a wiry wildebeest going for a swim in a lake full of crocodiles. You know the feeling if you’ve ever been interested in a certain […]
The Las Vegas Strip
Have you been to The Strip in Las Vegas? Unless you’re used to walking down the streets of New York City or Tokyo, The Strip in Las Vegas is a serious shock to the system for anyone. Energy. Volume. Lights. People. Some craziness…or, lots of craziness. I mean, heck, what is The Signature Move […]
The Promise Institute
What did you dream about becoming when you were a kid? If you were like me (and perhaps you’ve read these facts in my book), the possibilities seemed endless, as it may have involved being an artist for Disney, playing basketball in the NBA, or becoming famous for your music and acting in movies. […]
View From The Top of The World
What makes you HAPPY? I think of that zone I get in when work is just flowing, I’m cranking out emails, finishing To-Do lists, projects delivered and ready to be published; Moments cruising down the highway in the RV as I look in the rearview mirror and see my children playing a game with […]
