California Dreamin’A new world beyond leadership as we know it today.Hello I remember growing up and spending summer vacation mornings at my best friend Pete’s house.

Although everyone possesses this potent instrument, its intentional and smart use is still largely unknown to the majority." I first became...
It's Not Happening to You—It's Happening from You Hello Reader, What if your organization isn't a set of problems to solve? What if it is a collective consciousness to recognize? This visualization captures a fundamental shift in how we understand leadership. At its core lies a truth: every challenge, success, or dynamic in an organization isn't happening TO us. It's happening FROM us. A dream seems to happen to us until we become lucid. Then, we recognize we are its creators. Leadership...
