"Just do it without passion and do it badly". I said to the lovely new client when they said to me "I can't find the passion to finish my project". "Just do it without passion and do it badly". And the eyes widened, a sharp intake of breath then the flushing of the cheeks, the laughter; the genuine laughter of that moment of truth. Satori. ✨ Can you imagine? Just finishing. Completing. Without the passion. And just doing it to complete it. Without being a genius. Without … [Read more...]
Recent podcast with Jayne Nakata
My podcast with Jayne Nakata of Transformations with Jayne Nakata went live last week.

But this photo is genius - a happy accident so please enjoy. And forgive the cheesy … [Read more...]
