Episode #151 — Feel It All! When I selected a quote for this week, control over the US Senate was still up in the air pending a runoff in Georgia and the US capital city had not yet erupted in destructive or violent protest. As I sit here watching the dissolution of civility in the…
Episode #150 — Know Your Currencies! All too often, people use a single currency to evaluate success: money. That metric may show up as ‘deals closed’ or ‘projects won’ or ‘net worth’ or ‘savings amassed’ or even ‘money spent.’ No matter how people choose to label it, they’re still using money as their metric. Speaking…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #149 — I’d Rather Fail Than Not Finish! As a long-distance road cyclist, I have noticed that as soon as the finish line becomes visible, I have this compulsion to accelerate. And, no, these are rides, not races. And the data reveal that that I am not alone: most…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #148 — Useless or Dangerous? Though I loved Mrs. Southworth, my high school Human Anatomy and Physiology teacher, I hated the early months of the class. There was no thinking … it was at best, acronyms and other mnemonics; at worst, sheer drudgery. I still remember the origin, insertion,…

Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #145 — It’s hard to hear one’s heart at speed. These last couple of days have been filled with details and machinations. Screenings for COVID, jockeying for space in the refrigerators, cleaning ovens, last minute work projects, and tons of food prep. And this is just for five people?!?…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #144 — Celebrate … Even in 2020 I love the concept, promise, and inevitable impact of the gratitude journal exercise. And yet, I fought it for so long. When I look back at what I captured in my earliest gratitude journal, I’m shocked (not shocked?) by what those entries…
Mindset Mondays with DTK – Ep #143 — “What Got You There Won’t Get You Here” I’ll be offering apologies to Marshall Goldsmith for riffing with his famous book title … And here’s what’s important: It’s time we all start redefining success is an inside game.

Episode #142 — גַּם זֶה יַעֲבֹר No worries, the rest of this email is not going to be in Hebrew.
