Best practice or good practice? What is your preference? I once had a manager that referred to good practice because he said that good could always get better. I like that and I understand it These days I’m hearing the phrase best practice far more frequently. But, in...
Why Part 3 – Working on it!
This week I joined another Simon Sinek Inc. workshop about Find Your Why. Since the last workshop I’d played around with my Why. I’d also started reading The Infinite Game. It changed everything. When you’re working on forming your Why, reflect on where you’ve come...

Why Part 1 – I think I worked out my Why!
It wasn’t quite an epiphany, but it was pretty close! If you’ve every listened to Simon Sinek, he talks about finding your why; your purpose. I’ve never been able to pin it down. I could give you lists of the things I enjoyed doing, but nothing really answered my why....
The Crossroads of 2020 & 2021
