“You have to want it.” I tell my toughest clients like Sean (Robin Williams) in that pivotal scene in the movie Good Will Hunting. “I do want it. But…” they respond. “You have to want it.” I keep my face stern communicating the consistency and certainty of purpose needed to achieve. “Dr. Wright, I do […]

I completed 4 game plans this week. I cannot remember a time in the past when I completed 4 in 5 days. The conversations got me thinking about the insistence of society, experience, parents, employers, teachers, and others on conformity. Not just the sneaking standardization used in evaluations, applications, and regulations. The sinister conformity that […]

In order to get it, you will have to put in some work. The half-truth is that you have to do it alone. Half true because the first step is totally up to you. Half false because the first step could be to ask for help. You can get competent help. It can fit your […]

#MondayMotivation One month of 2016 in the books. Time to reflect on the progress made during the first 31 days of the year. Some like to remain hopeful, but I like to mix my hope with a bit of math. For example, my goal was to publish 1 training per week for a total of […]

You may be tempted to say that I am obsessed with super heroes. That would not be the specific truth. I am obsessed with super powers. My two favorite super heroes have no mysterious super powers. Their super power is intellect. Both are inventors. Both are billionaires. Both have many toys. I am speaking of […]

#MotivationMonday Continue. You are making progress. At least you are reading this each week. You may not have achieved the lofty goals you set for yourself about 2 weeks ago, but you had something to learn. You spent these weeks learning that things take more time than you thought. Usually 3 times more than you […]

I hope your first full week of 2016 was productive. You may have heeded the wisdom to move beyond resolutions to create a lifestyle that will endure.
