If you’ve been reading my blog you know I’ve been writing posts related to what I’ve been reading in the book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Steven Covey. One of the exercises that Covey encourages the reader to do, is to write in detail about your own funeral and eulogy. It is in the part of …

Sad to see site of 2013 TEDxRockCreekPark go down.  Rob Kaufman gave it a go.   Good try, Rob.  Thank you.

Though it's not a surprise, I got a nice email from TED today letting me know that Simon Sinek's talk from my TEDxPugetSound conference is in the top 10 of all TEDx talks of all time. He totally deserves that kind of recognition for his break out talk. All of the top 10 talks are wonderful, thoughtful and diverse. I love every single talk on the list and there were a couple of new ones I hadn't seen. Check it out and enjoy. http://www.ted.com/playlists/180/the_10_most_popular_tedx_talks

CEO Coach, Motivational and Leadership Speaker, TEDx Organizer
Introduction
CEOs carry both great responsibility and extraordinary opportunity.  They have the power to use their gifts to enhance the lives of everyone in their orbit (as well as their own).   I connect CEOs with ideas, peers, resources, opportunities and a deeper sense of purpose.  At the intersection of purpose and strategy is full expression.
