Time to be Extraordinary!
Areas of Expertise and Approach
My areas of expertise are time management, productivity, values and mission, emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, change, and leadership. An important part of my brand is that I am very right-brain driven. The struggles we have in work and life are typically not due to a failure of knowledge, but to limiting beliefs, emotional struggles, lack of confidence, feeling stuck. I am a regular contributor to LifeHack, a website devoted to productivity and personal growth. Published articles are noted below. I also do a lot of commenting at Harvard Business Review (for its rigor and pedigree) and at Fast Company (for its authentic and innovative vibe). The mix of these two capture my brand fairly well. The spin I bring would not be business and numbers and the like per se, but the human side of business.
