When You’re In The Breadline
In the Depression-era film “Cinderella Man”, we see James Braddock, a once almost champion boxer in the grips of economic failure, his inability to provide for his family through boxing’s trade, humbly brave the infamous breadline while being recognized as the failed boxer. This movie is not for the faint of heart, especially if – […]
What is Your Promise2Lead?
Over the past 2 months I have experienced a true life tragedy within an organization I’ve been a part of for 16 years. A complete loss of trust! An absolute mismanagement of emotions, rumors, deception tearing people of one heart and mind completely apart! Mistakes have been made high and low…and yet, even with […]
Everything That’s Wrong In Your Life
Everything that’s wrong in your life is because you broke a Promise to yourself!

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!

Remove The Old Debris in Our Lives
Pandemic Garage Syndrome. That’s what we can call it. Have you found yourself drowning in clutter, as we have? It’s not that we bought a ton of items, quite the contrary. During the pandemic we hunkered down, digging into every little corner of our house, restarting projects we’d meant to do for years, pulling […]
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.
