Moving One of the realities of the afternoon of life is that we are going to move, even if it is to an urn on our grandchildren's mantle or a hole in the ground. It is not a question of if, it is a question of when and a question of how. Many people, [...]
I have not been blogging for the last couple of months, and I feel freed from it. My coaching practice is focused on busy executives that either need to get out of their current gig and start their own venture - or look at their current gig and change their "stinking thinking" about it. [...]
One book I have read and re-read over and over again is William Bridges' book, "The Way of Transition". This is a publication that he wrote in 2001 after the death of his wife caused him to revisit the whole process of transition. Clearly, his close ties to his wife significantly influenced this [...]
Last week, I talked about the different diet approaches that provide the basis for our own food choices in the second half of life, which is a good starting point for anyone looking to make their own choices. My original intention was to simply summarize the points of each of the authors, but that [...]

In one of my favorite “lite” movies, Pretty Woman, a rich venture capitalist and a pretty young prostitute both shift to new ways of being in just four days. The VC decides to begin working with the father figure of his newly acquired company to [...]
A favorite movie line of mine,– and my children will tell you I have many, comes from Colonel Saito in the Bridge on the River Kwai who says “Be happy in your work”. For a long time I tried to apply that advice to my own life. Last week, I was in NY, steps away [...]
Life 3.0 I believe that there are four phases of life. Life 3.0 is our definition for the third phase of life.
