Reading Scripts

In my recent travels, I’ve discovered Presidential Libraries.  When I’m in a city with one, I chisel out half a day to visit.  There are officially 15 libraries. I’ve been to three so far, but would like to make the rounds to many more.  They are a fascinating look at...

I Don’t Have Time to Prepare

The last few weeks have felt like I was playing Whac-a-Mole.  Travel.  Back-to-back-to-back training programs.  Coaching sessions.  The holidays.  Visiting family.  Sickness.  It’s all been there.  But I also had several new or altered programs to develop.  This has...
