Leadership Success: Are There Any Real Secrets?
Why do some leaders succeed and others stumble along? Over the years, in my experience coaching various people, I’ve often asked myself that question.

Leadership Challenges: Changing the Way People Think
We can change the way we think. In fact, it’s not as hard as most of us assume. Changing a habit is hard, and there are many reasons for that. Mainly, the brain creates routines in order to conserve energy, so once a habit is established, it becomes embedded in our brain’s neural circuits. A […]

Daydreaming Leads to Creative Insights
Apparently daydreaming and relaxation are key to finding creative insights to business problems. Think about that the next time you find yourself —or your employees — staring off into space. Jonathan Schooler, a UC Santa Barbara psychologist who studies insight, has been able to demonstrate that people who consistently engage in more daydreaming score significantly […]
