Making Space in the Beaker of Knowledge

You can't stuff knowledge into a full brain! Sometimes we have to let go of something to learn something new. Consider a beaker of water, full to the brim. Now try to put some more water in it. Doesn't work, does it? Just falls over the edges onto the table. So it is when we try to impart our wisdom to others. Is it possible to get others to drain a little "knowledge" so they can learn something more? I believe it is.(Read more)....

The Forgiveness Thing

"To err is human; to forgive, divine."

Alexander Pope (1688-1744)

It's not the "err" thing I want to talk about. It's the "forgive" thing. I understand people's ire when something has been irretrievably taken from them. Theft comes to mind. Possessions. Virginity.

How does Rally co-driving prepare you for improving performance in teams and executives?

I am a Rally Co-driver in several series in the Western Hemisphere. You can read about my racing history at my rally website. When I am competing, it is my job to corral all the best performances from myself, the driver, the mechanics and any other members of the crew supporting us for the weekend. As you can imagine, as in any racing, egos are strong, tensions are high, and the atmosphere is ripe for interpersonal conflict.

I have a track record of co-driving for racers of any caliber (National Champions to first event novices) and delivering results that exceed their expectations.

For the rest of my living, I coach executives in leadership and team dynamics; teams in developing higher levels of trust, understanding and camaraderie; and individuals in making changes supportive of getting what they want in life. In this arena too, I have a reputation for delivering results that exceed their expectations.

HDClarity is an e-zine for those wanting to develop more of that trust, understanding and camaraderie in their work environment, and their life in general. A smoother running team is a more profitable team. It get things done faster, for less cost.
