A note from the author:
As I enter my ninth year of publishing the HDClarity E-zine, you may notice a change in the masthead of this monthly blog. It has dawned on me that when working with management teams of highly productive executives, the most progress made is with the individual.
They may be a part of a team. They may even lead that team. They are first and foremost individuals. People who came to this position with Knower/Judger ramifications that can both serve the mission well and cause it to stumble. Serve the individual's life well, or cause it to stumble as well.
So it is clearly with the individual I work. It is even more fun when I work with multiple interacting individuals, and I can watch interpersonal wellness enhance performance and productivity.
Most managers and executives I have had the pleasure of Coaching report benefits not only in their professional world, but in their personal and recreational worlds as well. The tools are Universal.
If you want to explore expanding potential, enriching relationships, and accelerating performance....anywhere in your world, drop me a line or give me a call. Curiosity is a wonderful teacher.
...and....it's
Time to Learn.

Stick-to-itiveness. I was raised on it. Commitment...always a good thing, right? Toughing it out has been a cornerstone of my existence, imprinted by a can-do dad and a cheerleader mom, both products of the "Greatest Generation." So obviously, not quitting is right smack in the middle of my "comfort zone." That should be a warning in itself. "Fish or cut bait," the old saying goes. Well, I'm here to vote in favor of "cutting bait." I've termed it "creative quitting."
Over the years, multiple psychologists have delineated the "stages of life." Dr. Thomas Armstrong has 12. Mark Manson has four. Others claim there are five or eight. In all models, there is a phase in our lives when we separate from our parents, go out in the world, and acquire. We acquire skills, possessions, money, reputations, relationships, and more. In this stage (roughly 25-45 years of age, depending on which model you're using), we are responsible for making ourselves into what we are going to be. And it's full of frustration and expectation.
