How did we get all this stuff? As we age, there seems to be less attachment to possessions or the need for possessions. In the first half of my life, I was consumed by being a consumer. I had to have the latest "stuff". Even when I turned fifty, the entry point to the [...]
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. [...]
We are scales. Not the digitalized platform in which many of us fear. I mean the traditional, two-sided scale. It's common sense; when one side is more heavily weighted, the device is thrown off balance. We work the same way. Work-Life Balance is the key driver.

Whether it's for a business or our personal lives, we can hardly get through a day without checking our calendars. Time is money and time management is critical. We buy calendars with beautiful pictures representing each month, or we keep ourselves virtual with the use of calendar applications on our phones and computers. Calendars are [...]

At one point, living past the age of fifty was quite the feat. Fortunately, we’ve come a long way since then thanks to brainpower and technology. Otherwise, I might not be here, writing this blog. Now, longevity is en vogue. While living to 120 seems a long ways away, it is not an unfathomable goal. [...]
Wellness is one the largest pieces of our practice, particularly with people in the second half of life. Because of this, we think it is important to start a series on profiling medical doctors that have developed approaches to treating the diseases of our age. Most of these are rooted in increased inflammation in the [...]
Six months ago today, I posted my last blog entry prior to this one and this one is different from most of my previous posts. This one is personal. I have not been in contact with you recently. The reason for that is that my wife, Melinda, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last October. As a [...]
