Losing the Award: Lady Gaga Promise Leadership
Lady Gaga has just helped me see that even in losing, we can still win. Did you see what she did at the Grammys while not on stage? Her actions weren’t highlighted enough for such graciousness, even in defeat, but needs to be acknowledged here. What did she do? Read on. ~ But first – […]
Slap Him Back: Will Smith and Chris Rock
I’m sick of this story that has dominated headlines all week, just as you probably are, too. Yet the moment Will Smith stormed the stage to slap/punch/whack Chris Rock at the Oscars, all bets were off and will stir debate for years to come: Will was defending his wife’s honor! Chris was out of line! […]
$650,000 per Month in Taxes: The Steve Harvey Promise
We are coming up on the month of April and Tax Day, perhaps the most heart palpitating, stress inducing, cry-yourself-to-sleep time of the year.

Ukraine’s Zelensky and Promise Leadership

When I heard Putin’s military convoy 40 miles long was headed for Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, I figured we’d learn of the Ukrainian administration flying away in […]
The Birthday Promise
After she fell asleep for her final evening as a 45-year old, I snuck out of the bedroom to get to work on setting up the kitchen table for her “surprise” in the morning. I was up quite late, and woke up extra early to get things ready, kids up and dressed, cake and […]
Worth Jail Time
A man who had served in four tours of duty for the US Military, received three Purple Hearts, experienced extreme difficulty integrating back into society due to PTSD, anxiety, and having nearly been killed multiple times in war.

The Promise To Change It Up
In August I spoke to a huge audience. It was so fun! Viewing the footage afterward, I was quite disappointed in how I looked, even as I had been very committed to looking the part and feeling good… and so I – you guessed it – made a NEW Promise. Since August, half a […]
