I rushed to get my filet mignon order in three minutes before the kitchen closed. To me, a trip to Chicago is incomplete without steak enjoyed in dim light, over dark wood, in a nearly ancient (at least by US standards) restaurant. I also feel I deserve it. First, I’m only here for one night. Tomorrow, I run a […]

The Organization of Tomorrow will be … Ten hours into a 16-hour flight. In two days, I’ll be delivering a workshop in Malaysia for a group of mid-market CEOs (the EO Chapter of Malaysia) and for AIG Malaysia. I should be dead tired but I can’t sleep because I am so inspired/angry/committed, having just written

These magical days are slipping by so quickly. I’ve been in the heart of coffee country in Pereira, Colombia, for two weeks. I’m settling down by the pool, my heart just now slowing from a rigorous tennis lesson after a full day assembling my next keynote speech: Change the World without Quitting your Job. Long

Home at 1am, after a six-hour journey that should have been three. The extra hours of airport Wi-Fi on the way home gave me time to wrestle with a nagging problem. This morning I facilitated a group of talented, smart leaders from TIAA, one of the world’s largest financial institutions. As we walked through

My eyes are still blurred from three days on the road and a “red eye” too short to sleep through, and one dilemma keeps resurfacing in my thoughts and in numerous conversations this week. When should you believe and when should you pivot? Seth Godin wrote about the “dip” – that long lull of

How Hard Should You Push? I’m on a flight home from Denver, my mind twirling over a contradiction. A conversation I had sparked a question: does innovation pull or push? For years I have believed innovation is a “pull” activity. You put something out into the world and if it is something the world needs,

Back from one of my most action-packed weeks ever – five days, five cities, four speaking gigs, then a weekend filled with birthday celebrations and sports. Finally catching my breath over Monday-morning eggs and coffee, thinking back to this incredible week, and realizing that the most impactful, memorable idea of the week came from

I’ve been working on my keynote speaking for about 15 years. I’m not a master (yet), but that’s not for lack of effort. I’ve read books and had coaches, and I pepper great speakers with questions whenever I can. After a while the advice starts repeating itself: the first five seconds matter most; open your

Narratives and Possibility :: Change the Life in Which You’re Living Last night I went to bed feeling down, despondent, discouraged. This morning as I suit up in a Washington, D.C., hotel room for the seven-hour workshop I am about to deliver, I am tingling with energy, excited, on fire. What caused this shift? My circumstances have

I am staring through a wall of fog at the vague contours of an empty runway. Airplanes should fill this scene, but they can’t land. At 1:55 p.m., my flight status should read “Departed” but still reads “On Time.” Nothing here seems to be working. I want to quit and tell the 100 people scheduled to show up at
