LESSONS TO LIVE BY
Mr. Left Brain Meet Mr. Right Brain
A Unique Combination
If there’s one thing I get asked a lot it’s what is my core strength and competency. Well, the answer is two-fold. Thanks to a diverse upbringing as a child, with exposure to a wide variety of creative and analytical pursuits, I have developed an ability to tap into both my creative ideation brain and logical reasoning brain, when needed.
I am also a forest AND trees person…meaning I can see the big, long-range picture, while at the same time burrow deep into the details of an issue to glean insights and solutions.
Guiding Principles
People don’t like to be “sold to” — they like to be heard and helped.
People are often assumed to not care about the “why” of things, but they do care.
You can be skeptical without being considered negative, in fact skepticism fuels change.
Sometimes a cliché is quite wise, such as saying actions speak louder than words…they do.
