    Some of the most respected executives and advisors in the world have spent their careers refining one skill. One that determines whether knowledge translates into value. It’s not intelligence. It’s not memory. It’s not even experience. Yet, this single ability separates those who rise from those who plateau. Most people (including consultants, leaders, strategists) believe…

That is incredibly hard to do. It’s unlike short-term trading, where traders can quickly adjust positions and minimize risk. Investors often move through trades in split…

Yet, when Patrick was twenty-five years old Kris and I predicted how/when/where his life would disintegrate. We predicted his mid-life crisis, which played out as we had explained it to him.

    People Aren’t Just Negotiating with You in the Moment. They’re Negotiating with Your Reputation. You know the moment. The meeting starts, and before you even get a chance to speak, the room takes on a life of its own. Conversations spiral. Egos clash. People talk over each other. And you?
