Listen To What Your Surroundings Are Telling You05 Sep

Beyond the interesting effect of watching the same scene change through one day, there’s some great learning here to apply in our life. It’s Flash-based so make sure your browser has the plugin.

From Joining To Belonging In Organizations03 Jun

A fine bottle of wine single-malt scotch needs to make it’s way to Jamie Notter for keeping me informed about all the juicy items in the Harvard Business Review. Once upon a time, I had a subscription and it was one of the best professional development investments I made. Which begs a question of…why don’t [...]

Creating Our Own Magic11 Mar

It’s spring break for my girls and what better way to spend it but at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. This will be Leah’s second trip and Katie’s first to the Magic Kingdom. This will be my third trip (first as a 7 year old, second and third as an adult) and it’s interesting [...]

Some Gifts Are Best Not Accepted17 Feb

One of my daily reads is ProBlogger simply for Darren Rowse’s terrific advice for how to blog better.

We Learn So Much About Life From Death02 Feb

Things have been chaotic and emotional for our family over the past week. On Monday, my wife’s grandfather, J.W.

Finding Purpose Is The Journey05 Jun

Ever have the thought that the sooner you find your purpose in life, the happier you’ll feel? It’s kind of like our unique sense of purpose is the final piece to the puzzle of life and once it locks into place…well then we can check that one off the list and then really start living. I [...]

All You Need Is Love In The Workplace01 Jun

When you talk about love in the workplace, most folks think of inter-office romances or tawdry office affairs. At the very least, our culture teaches us that love should not be part of our workplace vernacular. That’s unfortunate since it is love which energizes us toward new heights and gives us courage to take authentic [...]

Running Toward Your Purpose22 May

Since making the big announcement of our plans to hitch our wagon for Austin, TX, we’ve received a wide spectrum of responses from friends, family, and a few strangers. For the most part, the response has been overwhelmingly supportive bordering on admiration for taking such a grand leap of faith. That’s always appreciated considering there [...]

Profile

I help business leaders and their organizations improve how they relate to their customers, employees, and other critical stakeholders. It’s born out of my belief that individuals crave meaningful relationships and want to be involved with companies that connect with them personally. I’m devoted to helping organizations discover the unique qualities that make them remarkable.

I’m currently a Master’s student at the University of North Texas studying business anthropology.
