You’re probably already working with various clients if you’re a real estate agent. Newer agents I work with say, “I’ll go anywhere with anyone,” yet the seasoned agents are “Crystal clear on who and where they invest their time and energy.” Have you ever thought about how many different types of buyers or sellers you […]
Decide!

AI and ChatGPT
My coast to coast airplane ride mindset: Geoff Colvin’s “Humans Are Underrated. What High Achievers Know That Brilliant Machines Never Will.” With all the buzz on AI and ChatGPT I was reflecting on this leading edge book from 2015.

You can’t see the picture when you are in the frame. (Ask Billy Beane, or Michael Jordan, the player, and Phil Jackson, the coach.) Whenever I get frustrated I use a model, “symptom, source, solution.” (Models can be so helpful). Ever play Whac-a-Mole? Every time you knock one down, another mole pops up. To stop […]
Looking To Be More Outcome-Focused?
Reflecting this morning and giving myself some grace… appropriate for the month of Easter. Sharing my personal coaching notes: I’ve been on a bit of an emotional roller coaster: transitioning from a group of staff, agents, and B2B partners that I respect and love dearly; to moving full-time into the investments I had with a […]
Work Expands To The Time Available

Northcote Parkinson wrote that “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” Economists see the same pattern with roads: widen a highway and more drivers show […]
