The Power of Declaring a Breakdown (Have Faith Progressives)
It’s been over twenty years since being involved with Landmark Education, but for a full decade, Ann and I were intimately involved with this international personal development company, both as participants and program leaders. In fact, we met during one of LEC’s programs. During that time, we learned not only about the power of life…
The Power of Engagement Part 1 – Leading a Horse to Water
I’m revitalizing the Purposeful Politics section of this blog. Now, I spent most of my childhood in the South where I learned early on that there were three subjects you didn’t talk about in public: sex, money, and politics. (You could talk about religion but only in church.) So, I know the risk of writing about…
This or Something Better
The three of us sat around a mahogany conference table that could easily seat twelve; Connie Jacobs, my attorney, the other veterinarian who was about to purchase my veterinary practice, and me.

Repurposing Purpose
I was sharing some of my Purpose Projects for 2014 on Facebook the other day when a particular comments from one of my friends struck a chord: I so admire how you keep re-purposing your life on purpose, Brad. I’d never thought of it in quite that way but indeed it’s true. When you think…
The New Year – Example of the Power of Context
Happy New Year everyone! As best I can tell, the New Year is a global phenomenon though there are some exceptions. Evidently, according to a quick Google search, people in Israel kinda celebrate on New Year Eve but then have to go to work on January 1. But I think it’s safe to say that…
The Insanity of an Off Purpose Life
Most people would agree Albert Einstein was a pretty smart guy and not just about physics. Here are two of my favorite quotes attributed to him: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” ” We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created…

Challenges we face can range from simple differences of opinion to down right dysfunction. In my coaching practice I have found most of my clients experience some…
