		<title>Doing more.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was raised with an acute awareness of the suffering of others. Giving and doing were always part of my childhood. And as I grew in my capacity to give and to serve, that impulse morphed into being a donor and, where I could, serving as a director or trustee for organizations whose missions I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roller Coaster Tycoon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One day, a blood test reveals a suspiciously high PSA count.  Your doctor says he’s “99% sure it’s not cancer” but, to be safe, go see the urologist. So you see the urologist who, after the thorough exam, rules out simpler issues and says you’ve “a 20% chance of cancer.”
So, to be safe, you take [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;No.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mark Suster has a great post on saying No to meetings.
The problem is that the scarcest resource in any entrepreneur’s life is your time.  Yet we all feel guilty not doling out time for anybody who asks – especially if we were introduced.  I know!  I feel the same way.  I’m trying to embrace my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don’t be a But Head</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit it: I can be a real But Head.
You know the feeling…you’re sitting with some colleagues and you’re brain-storming; you can feel your pulse quicken as great ideas, wild ideas, silly ideas rise. One of the “stormers” runs to the white board and starts sketching ideas.
That’s when it usually starts for me. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barbers Can&#8217;t Cut Their Own Hair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My clients often seem startled when I mention my therapist. I suppose deep down they see themselves as inadequate to the task of living and, hell, if their coach needs help, what hope is there for them?
Or something like that.
But dentists need dentists. And Floyd always went to Mount Pilot to get his hair cut.

		<title>Thirty Reminders of a Mindful Leader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Simple little post today&#8230;enjoy.
From Michael Carrol’s The Mindful Leader.
1. Take time to meditate, reflect, and study.
2. Cultivate a household that appreciates the training of a mindful leader.
3. Create moments of silence: retreat to be alone on occasion.
4. Contemplate the impermanent nature of wealth and career.
5. Show respect to those who teach you how to become [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Gift of the Survival Dance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There’s been a Post-It note stuck to my monitor for weeks. I was in Miami when a client asked again about the Survival Dance and the Sacred Dance. She was caught, she said, between choosing what felt like the job she needed to take versus the job she wanted to take. And disconcertingly she was [...]]]></description>

		<title>“Why the hell does my board act like that?”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The phone rang at the appointed hour. My client, a software company CEO, was calling for his regular session. I picked up the phone:
“Hello”
“Why the hell does my board act like that?”
“Good morning, James,” I answered and we both laughed.
We talked through the upcoming financing. Some of investors&#8212;folks who came into the company only in [...]]]></description>

		<title>North</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve nothing nothing poetic or particularly artful to say today. Just wanted to acknowledge my client Ben Saunders. I first started working with Ben two years ago when he&#8217;d come back from a failed attempt to set a new speed record for a solo, unsupported trek to the North Pole. Two days ago, he landed [...]]]></description>
