Writing always makes me feel better.
Just for me: Dude, you’ve been writing (feeling better) for 5,000+ consecutive days. Seriously, never missing a single day. Makes the “every damn day” slogan real. Don’t it?!

Put your health before work or put work before health?
No brainer, eh?
Or is it?
An overwhelming number of executives forgo their health (moving, sleeping, nutrition) because their ‘work’ time/availability is so incredibly demanded.
Immediately after scheduling next week’s third followup eye exam before leaving the office, i walked to the car and called an executive coaching client.
i was late for work and had texted the CEO with a heads up at 8:45AM.
In a perfect world, today’s 8:20AM appointment would be finished by 9:00AM. And after all, arriving at 7:40AM (40 mins early) should easily facilitate all the office paperwork so that i can be ready in the exam room early.
i was 15 minutes late for the call.
And…
Was intentionally prepared, by design, to do the call in the car, in the parking lot. Why? To be on time for our standing 9:00AM call.
Backstage in “jeff-Land” is like backstage literally everywhere – interesting, surprising, and decently straightforward.
Here is the list of the weekly call’s prepared questions.
Love getting inspiring texts from you. Do you know why?
Take me on a tour of your organization 5 yrs from now?
Why do companies (why does your company) struggle with recognition?
Why do companies (and your company) struggle with attracting the best talent?
Why do CEO’s get frustrated?
How do they fix it?
How important are work relationships?
Where are relationships better…hurried or not so hurried?
Slowing down to speed up example…10 reps…
What if instead of me identifying the reps, you told me the reps….or, we each did 5?
Or…you did three and I do 1 (or 2).
Would you want to report to yourself? Why?
Note: Sharing the questions as a blogging state-change, an unexpected backstage peek.

Never count on random people to transform your life. However, sometimes it happens. Enjoy the karma you project.

Meeting Steve and Stacy Wahlberg on the backside of Reynolds Mountain at 8,600′ is absolute randomness.
World-class randomness for sure.
We saw something in each other, without trying.
The Universe aligned us that cold, windy, yet brilliantly sunny morning.
We were the only three people on the mountain.
i was hiding from the harsh wind behind the lone boulder in the expansive scree field.
They were heading up for their 12th Reynolds summit, in honor of Stacy’s father, a true mountain man.
