1. Personal Innovation must originate from a Greater Source, a deeper sense of purpose. 2. It must be Cyclical – not a one time push to change. 3. It must be non-destructive – be aware that personal changes have a ripple effect. 4. It must be low maintenance – it is best done with the [...]

I’ve been intrigued by this tribe ever since I heard about them while listening to Dr. Wayne Dyer speak on their unique tradition. Take a moment to read about it below and share your thoughts. I hope it touches you the way it has touched me…. “In South Africa the Babemba tribe treats people who [...]

“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.” I’ve always loved that quote [...]

“The best in art and life comes from a center – something urgent and powerful, an idea or emotion that insists on its being. From that insistence, a shape emerges and creates its structure out of passion. If you begin with a structure, you have to make up the passion, and that’s very hard to do.”
- Roger Rosenblatt

From Trellis Usher, my co-host on the show: During a time when unemployment is at an historic high, it’s hard to resist the temptation to be very reactive when it comes to searching for that next opportunity.  Most people have a tendency to just start “doing” things (i.e. revising their resume, going through their address [...]

This brief video capture the social and technological climate like no other presentation I’ve seen to-date. It speaks clearly to the fact that America is behind the curve of innovation. It is my belief that the only way to overcome these wide gaps is by owning our individual responsibility to develop ourselves and grow to meet the needs of an ever-expanding and interdependent global economy. Watch….Think…and Enjoy.

Trellis Usher and Guest Coach Kevin Johnson engage monthly on reinventing you, changing careers, coping with transition and tapping those “inner” technologies that can create the life you dream about.

“Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. If you could see them clearly, naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can’t. You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of [...]

The more you renew, the better life will be…not because outer circumstances change, but because your character becomes bigger than those circumstances. The Divine intention: God in you, will trump the cards that life has seemingly dealt you.

Friends, I try to share the best of whatever I find in life with those whom it will benefit the most. I recently read a blog posting by a virtual mentor of mine, Tim Ferriss, best-selling author of The Four Hour Work Week.  I offer this amazing article to you as another tool for you [...]

This fast reading book is a collection of insights interwoven with attitude-altering truths and life changing material.  So….your mission, if you choose to accept it…is to get your hands [...]

When the scriptures speak of loving our neighbor as we love ourselves, there is a profound underlying message…that we are incapable of loving others without the prerequisite of self-love. Then we hit a roadblock. Not all of who we are is easily loveable. We have darkness–a shadow if you will, that only shows when we [...]
