Programming Strategy & Tactics In Your internalGPS

“Let’s have a meeting to discuss our strategy” was the response to a question about how we were going to proceed with a big supplier negotiation.

Quitting or Sticking Using Your internalGPS

On my recent adventure to Bali we had a planned bike ride in the mountains. It was a beautiful sunny morning and even a bit cool in the mountain breeze. We put on our helmets and did a little test ride; it has been way too long since I had to shift gears on a [...]

Lightness and Faith On Your Path to Success
