Three Simple Words

Connection

Conversation

Collaboration

Those three simple words are an amazing guide – in life and in business. If you focus on building connections, having conversations and creating collaborations; you will go far.

People really matter a lot. Take the time to get to know and love them. All over the world. We can always accomplish more when we play together. Surround yourself with the people who “get” you for who YOU are. Build connections with them. Have conversations. Lots and lots of conversations. Create collaborations – informally and formally. Have fun. Do good. Create.

Practice connection, conversation and collaboration (with lots of generosity mixed in) and everything in your life will simply begin to thrive.

What are you doing to build connections? Are you having enough conversations? Who will be part of your next collaboration?

How Much of Your Life Is About About Conformity?

It’s Okay to Colour Outside the Lines…Really!!

I tend to push limits, ask hard questions and find/create solutions that are outside of traditional systems and typical expectations. I’m a misfit for sure. Increasingly, I’m practicing a life of non conformity. This means that I colour inside the lines as little as possible – in my business and in my life. Truth be told – I strive to get way outside the lines as often as possible.

Conformity, systems and rules are highly over rated. Chase Jarvis gave an amazing talk on creativity at World Domination Summit in Portland in July. It reminded me about how much it matters to get way outside the lines – in work and in life.

Now of course, there are moments and reasons to respect rules, systems and lines; however the more you can get away from them – for the right reasons – the better your life will be. I promise.
