Do You Have Option Paralysis?
A few years ago, Stanford finished a study indicating the average professional doubles their knowledge every four years. They said “average.” What about today’s active learner? For those of us who open ourselves to growth, there is more under there every day. As we grow, if we do not update […]
The Best Graduate Gift Ever
Graduating from school is one of the most important rites of passage in our lives. But don’t expect it to look like the past! Today’s average college graduate will change careers not jobs four to six times. In practical terms what does that mean for someone graduating today? First, the […]
Can You Change Careers Brilliantly? Look at This Guy!
If the average college graduate is going to change careers four to six times then why is there anything strange if the rest of us follow suit? I help people define what they want and orchestrate their success in getting exactly that. If that sounds like a stretch, my company […]
Are We Preparing or Killing Our Children’s Future Careers?
How many career dinosaurs are being sent to college every year? I was giving a keynote speech entitled, The Art of Change. During the question and answer session, a rather dignified and well-dressed gentleman vigorously raised his hand. His body language seemed uncomfortable and angry. Of course, he was my […]
The Wake-Up Call – Why Our Country Is At Each Other’s Throats

Are Unions Worthless?
Approximately one in ten American employees belong to a union. Most unions are focused on what they did a hundred years ago – protecting jobs and ensuring the safety of their members. But, are unions doing their job? Over the last fifty years, labor law has become increasingly more sophisticated […]
Do What You Were Born to Do
Ran into an old friend yesterday who asked, “Do you still lead those seminars?” and I responded, “More than ever.” He asked, “Who does anything for more than 25 years?” I laughed, “Those of us who find what we are born to do.” I walked into the first Inspired Work Program […]
Burn All the Boats – One Working Parent’s Journey to Freedom
Recently, I have been sharing stories about sole breadwinners. They are masters of responsibility for many of America’s families. But, they often set aside their own career development in the fear that one wrong move will spell failure in meeting the needs of their children’s day-to-day well-being as well as […]
Are We Preparing Our Children for the Future?
I was giving a keynote speech entitled, “The Art of Change.” Throughout the days of our programs, our participants produce transformational professional change. They break free of the survival and predictability standard that has entrapped so much of our culture. They define and do the work that matters to them […]
