FREE BOOK… for a limited time!

We’re living in a world where change is so fast paced that we begin to see the present only when it’s already starting to disappear.

With a 24-hour news cycle, social media, and an information age at our fingertips … life seems to be flashing past us.  

Whether you’re leading a business, a department, or even just your family … if you haven’t adapted to the new speed of change, you’re already miles behind.

The best leaders I know have already modified their approach and upgraded their skills to focus on managing change effectively. They know how to build coalitions, manage people and earn trust with their teams.

Most importantly, they know how to get results that can transform their businesses and lives.

Nobody understands this better than my friend, Rodger Dean Duncan.

Add Value

The goal is to add value in whatever you do. Whether we are talking about person to person in your daily relationships, or business to customer in your dealings with clients, adding value to people shows up in the experiences that people encounter. So how do we create value? Some would call it ”going above and beyond”, or “giving a remarkable experience”, or ”going the extra mile.” Whatever you want to call it, value is given when the experience is above the expected encounter.


There are many definitions for the word ’value’ but the best definition I have seen is ”the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.” Making things or living your life where it adds value to the lives of others almost guarantees success.

There are many ways to sell more products and make more money, but at the most basic level you can either charge more for your product hoping customers will pay for it or you can make your product more valuable by adding value in other ways than just charging more, making it much more probable that people will pay more in the end.

Don’t expect success to come without first doing the work to add value.

Books I’m Listening To…

I travel quite a bit these days, and find myself listening to books more than reading through the pages of hard copies. It seems to fit into my workflow better, although I still prefer the feel (and smell) of a good old fashioned book. Plus, even if the content of an audiobook is good, the narrator of a book really makes or breaks it. Don’t you agree?

Anyway, what are you reading/listening to these days?
