    • Media refreshed: We’re restoring images and videos where possible. Some older posts may still be missing media. Thank you for bearing with us.

  • “Stumped” – When Life Feels Like a Gordian Knot

    In leadership and in life, there are moments when challenges seem impossible to untangle.

    • A team member’s struggles quietly erode group morale.

    • Family dynamics become clouded with illness, anxiety, or depression.

    • Uncertainty about the future: waiting on client’s orders, jobs, or medical tests—stretches our patience thin.

    • Even in our own homes, we sometimes care deeply yet feel unable to connect.

    The weight of uncertainty can be crushing, and we may conclude: “I’m stumped.”

    IMG_2534Chinese dragons are often depicted as wise, benevolent beings that bring blessings and protection. (In contrast, Western dragons are often portrayed as fearsome, fire-breathing creatures that hoard treasure and terrorize villages.)

    • Make a 1-page Annual Plan that would make 2024 Dragon Year a year of delight
    • Systematically continue with follow-through monthly activities to track and achieve the 12-month plan

    The highly interactive Best Year Yet® Workshop mobilizes you to design your coming 12 months in the Dragon Year with a focus on what really matters most, from inside out.

    Profound but not intrusive, powerful yet private.

    Best Year Yet® is a system for helping people, businesses and organizations create the results they want and need.

    It is based on 10 simple questions rather than steps or habits or telling you what you should do, resulting in producing a 1-page plan, tracking the plan and using a rich set of support resources.
