A Legend Lost
This weekend, as many of you know, a legend passed away. His name was John Wooden, and while his amazing coaching skills that led to an incredible array of victories for UCLA, more than that he was an amazing human being that has transformed so many peoples lives. So, without any wordiness, I’ll let a few [...]
Continue reading...Can You Be Coached?
20. May 2010
Last night I had the opportunity to speak/facilitate a small group discussion around Coachability and Listening. So the guys didn’t need to take notes, I promised I’d circulate the culmination of ideas and discussion points captured as we shared the dialogue. I thought it might be a good blog entry, so decided to simply publish my [...]

12. May 2010
As many of you now know, yesterday with the internal team and today with the entire external field organization I announced publicly my resignation from Univera as the CEO of International. I’ll be wrapping up my time at Univera through the end of May. I have nothing but the greatest things to say about my time [...]

26. March 2010
Here’s my annual disclaimer: The reason I write in my blog is to connect with people. Not just from one segment of life, but from many. Usually the focus revolves around finding your purpose, passion, and renewal. And as part of the thread of stories I try to share experiences and observations in leadership, volunteerism, wellness, [...]

A simple song brings a simple message. Find your passion. Watch this guy, Jake Shimabukuro, play the Uke and ask yourself if this guy isn’t just amazingly passionate about what he does? With 50-years of training, I couldn’t do what he just did on this YouTube video. But, the point is that he couldn’t do what YOU’RE supposed [...]

12. March 2010
Okay, that opening title is a bit dramatic. First, as my wife reminds the kids–and me–we don’t HATE anything. Second, even if I DID hate something, I don’t REALLY hate museums. At least not all of them, just certain kinds. But what was valuable is that I learned something this week about myself. And, Pascal would be [...]

8. March 2010
Here’s a short entry that, I believe, is a key success factor in life…Maybe one of the success factors for YOUR life. And this will also help me break my complete absence of blog posts in the last ten days. I also read the leadership books, magazines, listen to the stories and the speakers, and blah [...]

16. February 2010
Here's another one that I didn't intent to post, but it was simply on my heart tonight. So here it is, full of imperfections, my vlog on "Authenticity...From a Friend."

11. February 2010
A friend passed this onto me today, thanks Jan, and it’s such “postable” blog material I had to put it up right away but not without a few comments first. It starts a little slow and just keeps morphing into this amazing story of a determined spirit to succeed, find a passion and commit to it, [...]

24. January 2010
When he reached retirement age, Dave Bing got himself a job he never wanted. Mayor of Detroit? He wanted no part of it. “I really didn’t want him to do it,” his wife, Yvette, says. “None of us wanted him to do it,” adds one of his three daughters, Cassaundra. For years Bing’s old Syracuse roommate, Jim Boeheim, [...]
