🚨 One-Day Free Book Giveaway – Monday, July 28 🚨

I’ve got a challenge for you.

What if you could recognize every subtle behavior that drags you, your team, or your organization toward the comfort of average... and flip it on its head?

That’s exactly what I set out to explore in two sharply contrasting books:

📘 Embracing Mediocrity: How to Do Nothing Notable and Accomplish as Little as Possible

📗 Escaping Mediocrity: How to Accelerate Your Future and Achieve Breakthrough Results!

For one day only – Monday, July 28 – both books are FREE on the Kindle store.

These aren’t your typical leadership or business books. Embracing Mediocrity is a reverse-playbook: 125 devastatingly honest “strategies” for underachievement. It’s funny, biting, and just a little too familiar. Every one of us will recognize pieces of ourselves, our teams, or our organizations in its pages.

Escaping Mediocrity is the antidote. A powerhouse toolkit of 125 accelerants to fuel ambition, resilience, and breakthrough performance. It’s everything we need when we're ready to reject "good enough" and lean into what’s truly possible.

I wrote them to spark conversations. To challenge thinking. To wake people up.
They're meant to be read individually, shared with teams, or used to provoke insight in leadership sessions and keynotes.

👉 Get them for free on Kindle – July 28 only.

👉 If they spark something in you, I’d love it if you shared a review, posted about them, or mentioned them in a blog, newsletter, or wherever you engage with others.

Help me get the word out, because everyone who has looked at the books have found them to be fun, insightful and challenging!

Let’s stop settling.

Let’s start leading.

And let’s have a little fun along the way.

🚀 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐖𝐀𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆. 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐁𝐔𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆!
After 30 years of advising leaders through seismic shifts, I've learned this: The future doesn't knock. It kicks down the door.

I've watched organizations crumble while others explode into new possibilities. The difference? They moved first.

Since 2004, I've written multiple books that cover what leaders need to know. Many have focused around the core issue of today - speed, agility, change and flexibility. Each book is a powerful map to how you can accelerate yourself into tomorrow.

Here they are:

⚡ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐔𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐓 → Speed isn't just an advantage anymore. It's survival. But raw speed without direction is chaos.

🎯 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘, 𝐒𝐄𝐓, 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐄. → This is your execution playbook. When "faster is the new fast," you need systems that turn ideas into reality before your competition even starts planning.

🐸 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐒 → Stop looking at the wrong threats. This book exposes the "aggressive indecision" that's killing leaders right now—while the real disruption creeps up unseen.

💥 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐁𝐈𝐆, 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋, 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐓! → Your blueprint for turning impossible dreams into inevitable reality. No more analysis paralysis. No more "someday" strategies.

🌧️ 𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐍 → When everyone else is running for cover, you'll be the leader who turns economic storms into your biggest competitive advantage.

🔥 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓? → For those crossroads moments when everything you knew gets flipped upside down. Optimism isn't just nice to have—it's the fuel that powers reinvention.

This isn't theory. This is your survival kit.

The leaders who thrive in the next decade won't be the ones with the best plans.
They'll be the ones who moved while others hesitated.

🏒🥅🇨🇦 “…in the end, both the [NHL] and the [Players Association] are missing the bigger picture: there’s a broader cultural leadership role to play and neither organization has said or done what needs to be here.
And a huge factor in this is the NHL being the only league of the big four North American professional sports leagues to not have a clearly defined policy around domestic violence and sexual assault.”

Motivational speakers? Baahh....

When most people think of motivation, they picture high-energy speakers and fire-walking seminars—that immediate rush that makes you feel invincible.

Here's the reality: That intense, temporary "motivation" is like Chinese food. Exciting and fulfilling in the moment, but an hour later, you're hungry again. It's a fleeting high, not sustained change.

The real game-changer?

Momentum.

Watch this clip where I'm on stage talking about Chinese food!

Instead of chasing motivational highs, chase speed. Ask yourself these deeper questions:

🔹 What am I doing to align myself with the future?
🔹 How can I become an innovator in my field?
🔹 What actions will I take to shape my future before it shapes me?

This isn't about feelings—it's about deliberate action and conscious choice.
You have a fundamental decision to make: Will you be proactive about your future, or will you simply react to whatever comes your way?

Think of it this way: Motivation is like a powerful gust of wind that pushes your sailboat for a moment. Momentum is the steady current that keeps you moving toward your destination, even when the wind dies down.

Don't wait for motivation to strike. Start building momentum today.

What choices are you making right now to actively shape your future?
