Our First and Best

According to research, our brains are best the first 2-3 hours of the day. With 24 hours in a day, the simple math is the first 10% of the day we are the sharpest. The first 10%. 

Take a moment and evaluate your first 2-3 hours of your day. What are you doing? Where is your time going? Are you maximizing your best?

Pain Before Process

Being strategic is a gift, it’s a blessing. However, over time I have learned a downside of being Strategic. The downside is, I like process. I like a clear and connected pathway of how we are going to get from here, to there. A-Z comes relatively easy to me. When I see the path in my mind, I can easily wind through complexity and map out a pathway with little effort. 

All sounds good, right? Not so fast.

This was critical because when the center of mass was moved outside of his body, with the same amount of energy, the jumper went higher. The bar was raised.

A New Approach

In the 1960s Dick Fosbury changed the sport of high jumping as we know it. A somewhat unsuccessful athlete who could not compete with the stronger, more capable sportsmen opted for a new approach. Fosbury created a new technique and way of high jumping - and it stunned his coaches, other athletes and eventually the world.

The Challenge of Change

Change is talked about a lot. We hear change is hard. Change is constant. Change is necessary. Change is good. Change is not a threat.

Lots of "change messaging" bombarding us.

What I have noticed is when things are going good, or even great, change is the hardest.
