How a Breakthrough in Marathon Training Led to a Breakthrough in How I Facilitate Brainstorming

I design and facilitate workshops that help people understand and solve their toughest business challenges. I love it. I’m also a runner. I love that, too.

In the New Year, Try Priming Your Environment

Love ’em or hate ’em, News Year’s Resolutions (or NYR’s as I’ll call them here) are a hot topic the first week of every year. Some people find them too artificial, feeling that it’s not what you do on January 1st, but what you do all year round. …

How a Rat Race Helped Me Start My Own Business

I was quickly falling apart, and my legs felt as if someone had poured cement inside them. My joints exploded with every step. What was this… water dripping from my eyes? Was I… crying?? My head throbbed. I’d gone out way too fast, something every runner knows you shouldn’t do…

Roadmaps are useless, but roadmapping is essential

Let me tell you a story. It’s one that I’m not proud of but if it hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have learned a very valuable lesson. Spoiler alert: you may never build roadmaps the same way again. I’d been on the job for two months. I was brought in to…

Unless you are planning to rob a bank, skip the meeting intros

I walked into the meeting and spotted an open seat. It was just about to begin. I didn’t recognize anyone, but that wasn’t a surprise. The subject line of the meeting read “Project Kickoff” and I hadn’t recognized the names in the invite. I nodded a polite hello to the…

Why the rules of remote work are not enough during COVID-19

It wasn’t until the 60 seconds of breaktime shadow boxing to the Rocky theme that I realized how different this was from all the other remote workshops I’d led in the past. People’s kids, pets and roommates were shadow boxing on camera. Someone’s wife walked in on him shadow boxing…

Scale, the innovation killer

Someone has an idea for a new product, a new feature, a new service. It sounds promising. Maybe there’s even research that supports the need for it. Then someone decides to ask that killer question way too soon. “How will this scale?” …
