I hope these reminders help you see things a...

Approximately a 3-minute read Hello! There are three ideas I keep circling back to this week—all through the lens of performance systems. One came up on stage in Fresno. Another is a lesson from the lived experience of a prisoner of war. The third is something I see daily in the athletes and teams I coach. On the surface, they seem unrelated.

Approximately a 3-minute read Happy Monday to you! This week I’ve been thinking about what makes a system produce consistent results. In my work, the strongest systems stem from simple principles. Three of which are purpose, inputs, and constraints. Purpose gives the system direction. Inputs drive results. Constraints create the consistency needed to execute.

Approximately a 3-minute read Happy Monday! High performance doesn’t usually fall apart because of a lack of talent.
