Author of Your Story

December 13, 2019 by Steve Laswell

On January 18, I announced the theme for 2019 as The Year of Responsibility. I wrote the following:

Like a summer morning sunrise, the promise of a fresh start, a new calendar presses us to keep moving. The early weeks of our New Year vanish. We are writing Chapter 2019 of the Story, ready or not. What will it take to write the Story you want to tell? What…

    December 30, 2015 by Steve Laswell

    “By anyone’s standard I was a success,” said Barbara Corcoran.

    Perhaps you know Corcoran as one of the “sharks” on Shark Tank.  The American reality television series allowing entrepreneurs to sell their business idea and get funding for their startup. The sharks are potential investors.

    “But I knew I was going bankrupt,” she continued. “And you know what I did – I went out and took a full-time…

    By the time you receive this, I’ll be returning from a trip to the mountains. That’s right, I’m creating space.

    For Rita and I, it’s borderline “past due.”

    But, it’s happening. Flights are booked and a rental car reserved.

    September 11, 2014 by Steve Laswell

    “How long has the first Thursday of September been on the calendar?” I ask.

    “A very long time,” my inner voice whispered.

    I probed further, “And how long has the First Thursday Next Level Leadership Lunch been on the calendar?”

    Without judgment, the truthful answer comes out, “Eight months.”

    Relentlessly, the reflective exercise continued, “And when did you send the reminder?”

    With no place to hide, “Less than a…
