Performance is Personal: Anything but Winning Is Preparation
Watching the Olympics in Beijing, China I started to think about the difference between good, great, and being the best in the world.

Self-Leadership a Definition
Rosa Say is one of the best coaches when it comes to management and leadership I know. Today she shared a definition of self-leadership that I just love.

Smibs TV: Growing a Smart Business
My new friend Peter Urban from Smibs Net and Smibs TV has posted a really interesting interview with a Edmonton based web development firm, Yellow Pencil. It’s a bit more than 18 minutes long but well worth watching. Peter obviously had spent considerable time preparing for this interview. The founders of Yellow Pencil were transparent and [...]
Content Sells? Absolutely Yes, It Does!
Image via Wikipedia When I began writing online in 1998 I had two clear goals. To document what I was learning coaching my clients.
