Why You Might Not Get There

October 21, 2015 by Steve Laswell

Kite Lake beckoned us on Thursday morning.  We headed north out of FairPlay, Colorado.  U.S. Highway 285 towards Breckenridge. Then we turned west out of Alma onto Buckskin Gulch Road.

The first 3 miles was gravel. From Paris Mill to Kite Lake was 3 miles of “unimproved road.” Good thing we’d gotten that Jeep upgrade.

A couple of miles short we stopped. These mountain road ruts were deep. I…

Why Settle for Insanity?

September 23, 2015 by Steve Laswell

My test results came back.

According to this “Nerd Test online quiz”, I’m not insane or better yet, I’m sane! But what do I do with the results summary statement? “You are very sane. A little too sane.”  Full disclosure, I’m 26% insane, along with the other 2% that scored the same.

Insane leadership?

German-born American Physicist, Albert Einstein put his mind to work defining insanity as…

Will You Exit Your Comfort Zone?

The Next Level Journey is about your trip from here to there. It requires you to leave…

Building the Most Often Neglected Muscle…

July 16, 2015 by Steve Laswell

Don’t say, “I’m toning my body,” to a true bodybuilder. Even if they don’t use words, the condescending looks on their face will scream lack of respect.  Bodybuilders build their body for a lot of reasons. But building muscle is the focus, not toning.

I’m not a bodybuilder. (Anyone who’s met me is nodding vigorously).  I don’t even qualify for body toning. (More vigorous nodding).  I probably…

Seeing More than a Collision

July 9, 2015 by Steve Laswell

The stop light says, “Go” at 71st and Sheridan. But before accelerating you look both ways for the driver who didn’t beat the yellow light. Defensive driving, we call it. It’s defined as “driving to save lives, time, and money, in spite of conditions around you and the actions of others.” The aim is to reduce the risks of accidents by “anticipating dangerous situations.”

Defensive driving is…

How to Support Your Productivity

May 21, 2015 by Steve Laswell

I was on my way to see Wendell. Riding the elevator to the 7th floor, I wasn’t sure what to expect. His wife Bonnie, his son Kent, and other family members were there, too. Wendell was one of those great individuals who loved life, loved people, and everyone else loved—for over 92 years.

His battle with cancer intensified, and it was now apparent that he was living his last weeks…

Three Voices that Affect Your Results

May 7, 2015 by Steve Laswell

The Wall Street Journal headline announces “U.S. Productivity Falls 1.9% in First Quarter.” What if your personal productivity made the headlines, how would it read?

There is a battle associated with your ability to work efficiently and enjoy life harmony. There are three voices that influence your thinking about the work you do each day.

  • The Voice of Illusion
  • The Voice of Deception
  • The Voice…
