There goes another trick play in Super Bowl LII (52). Some have worked well and some have not. Was it worth the gamble? I think so. This reminds me of what my coach recently told me. My coach warned me about getting too cute. He said, “you need to tie everything that you say back…
My mom loves butter and I had never understood why. Everything she has ever made has been from scratch. I can’t think of anything that she has made that I didn’t like. That’s a lie. As a kid there were plenty of times that my mom made something that I didn’t like. She may have…
Johari Window …that is. If you have a confused look on your face, go back to one the most recent blog posts. This is where I explain what the Johari Window is and what is important about Quadrant #1 (a.k.a. “the arena” or open area) and #2 (a.k.a. the blind area). [if you don’t recall,…

Sometimes you may recall certain feelings along with…
Start by asking yourself a question, “Why am I asking myself this question?” It’s because you know that something is holding you back. You have a firm understanding that there is another level.
