The buzz around AI and potential implications for great good, as well as concerns for its possible downsides, is increasing.
Here, we are simply employing an easily accessible method to give contemporary updates, as well as repurpose timeless principles that may fit today’s times. We anticipate that this accelerated type of learning can help us all more quickly gather useful wisdom to securely meet our needs, as well as more rapidly manifest/fulfill our visions, values and objectives, leading to greater abundance, peace and prosperity for all – in essence, a lot of positive outcomes.
You want to consider a similar approach in your work and business to best serve your clients and communities.
Given that we all have a variety of ways in which we learn, reinforce, and implement our most relevant ideas, this 17:11 minute Deep Dive podcast may be a helpful supplement for you and can obviously be listened to anytime while exercising, driving time or cooking your favorite meals, among other things.
On this session, we explore how being more curious, especially about perplexing, conflicting and rapidly changing situations, can help you generate even more innovative ideas and approaches to make a most positive difference for the things and relationships that matter most for you.
We invite you to set up a 15–30-minute phone call (or zoom) to brainstorm how to make it work best for you.
I hope your year is getting off to a strong start. I look forward to speaking with you again soon. At your service –

What has got us here won’t get us there. Our past does not equal our futures.
Consider Einstein, who was incessantly curious and created unprecedented outcomes. Einstein himself said: “I have no special talents; I am only passionately curious”
In addition to his curiosity, Einstein’s willingness to be a nonconformist was also an important part of his personality. His ability to question conventional wisdom provided the creative spark that ultimately led to many of his unprecedented breakthroughs. Einstein never felt encumbered by prevailing views or conventional thinking. Lessons?
Einstein’s curiosity and childlike wonder led him to explore problems and concepts that most other people didn’t even notice or care about. We can do this. As he explored these concepts, his nonconformist thinking enabled him to question fundamental, widely held assumptions, ultimately leading to insights. If we get a fraction of where Einstein was in terms of curiosity and independent thinking, we will also be better prepared to discover our own fundamental, innovative insights.
We can also animate our childlike curiosity, and become independent, critical thinkers.
As major innovator Steve Jobs cited in his 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech “Stay hungry, stay foolish” – means to always learn, move forward, avoid taking things personally and be indifferent when things don’t go as planned. It means you adapt fast, learn new things continually, be/do your best.
Be patient with your results but impatient with your actions. Don’t sweat or mind the small stuff. Be a little stubborn, a little crazy.
What constitutes real growth for you? How are you measuring and tracking that? What repeatable key factors move your needles? What’s your consistent focus?
For example, AI conversations/concerns are exploding all over the place. A key point?
Wise, caring, discerning leadership will likely be replaced last (if ever) by any machines.
With today’s dizzying pace in our increasingly AI world, many feel like their heads are spinning and that they just got thrown out of a blender into 2025 and landed on a mat. As you get your bearings, how are you optimizing your responses & leadership abilities?
As stated in the past, our response-ability requires clearly defined goals and effort. “If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.” – Paul J. Meyer, Founder of Success Motivation Institute.
