WITH INTENTION BLOG
Of all the people I’ve interviewed and all the experiences in business, sports and life, if I had to pick one secret sauce it would be this – resiliency. The ability to keep fighting. To get back up when you’ve been knocked down. To compete and keep working. That’s magic. When you fail, can you rebo...
James Clear is the NY Times Best-Selling Author of Atomic Habits. I met James many years ago at a conference and I knew right away he had a special talent for distilling information down to the basics. I had the privilege to read an advance copy of AH and provide feedback in 2017. And, I remember ha...
Hey there. We’re on to the fifth and final step in the process toward a life of Intention – Adjust and Adapt. Just like a fighter pilot who has to consistently assess inputs and make adjustments to stay on course – you need your own situational awareness and you must take a look at your current resu...
We’re on step four of the Intention Flywheel. And, that’s simply this – taking action. As a reminder, the first four steps – Awareness, Agency & Ambition. Awareness is simply where you are today. Agency is taking ownership and controlling what you can control. Ambition is your desired state or targe...
Have you ever looked in the mirror and said…I wish I was doing more or further ahead of where I am today? If so, you’re not alone. I’ve been there and this “voice” still pops into my head every so often. I actually think it’s a healthy thing to get this feeling once in a while.
I shared my story a ...
Hey there. Happy Saturday to you! I had an issue with my email integration recently so some of these posts may not have come through. I’ve been writing about a framework I’ve been fortunate to leverage in my life and work and also help others implement. I call it the Intention Flywheel. It’s a five-...
Happy Friday! I referenced the Intention Flywheel last week. This is a framework that’s helped me immensely in my life and work. It’s also helped me coach, mentor, manage and parent.
After interviewing over 100 leaders and top performers, I believe there are five crucial steps to get better or tran...
Hi there – I trust this finds you well. I appreciate you being here and reading this. This week has me reminiscing a lot. Bowling Green, my alma mater, won the MAC soccer title on Sunday and is playing in the D1 NCAA tournament next week in the states. This is the first appearance since 1997 which h...
I received a phone call eight years ago that changed everything for me. It was my boss calling to tell me that I was being fired from an account.
I wasn’t losing my job but I was losing an account that made up 70% of my book of business.
In sales, this is never a good thing.
Three months later, I...
I trust this note finds you well! I’ve had some amazing conversations lately and I can’t wait to share them with you on the podcast. I learn so much during these interviews and it’s really becoming one of my favorite things to do. I’ll be publishing conversations with best-selling author, James Clea...
Over the last year I had the chance to participate in a keynote speaking experience/class called Heroic Public Speaking. If you’re looking to sharpen the saw when it comes to public speaking, HPS is the place to be. Michael & Amy Port do a fantastic job. Over the course of about six months, I was ab...
It’s easy to talk a big game. To say you’re going to do this or do that. We’ve all stepped on our words at one point or another. Action speaks louder than words. It’s as simple as that.
