Big Red Car — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 18:31:20 +0000

I was with a pal of mine named Charlie — no, his name is not really Charlie — and I received a call from a former CEO coaching client who is a big deal these days. BIG DEAL. I say to Charlie, “Let me talk to this guy.” We’re sitting under a grape arbor at […]

Big Red Car — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 22:00:45 +0000

Coachability? It is a cold, wet day in the ATX with the leaves abandoning their perches and congregating in my pool clogging the skimmers and the filter.

I have a former client — full disclosure he is one of two clients I have ever fired. I fired him because he was not diligent in keeping our appointments. He paid well. He was always apologetic. He always had an excuse. He was and is a very good CEO, the kind you enjoy working […]

Big Red Car — Fri, 17 May 2019 15:33:34 +0000

Grayish, cool day in the ATX which gets me thinking about the journey a startup CEO makes from ignorance to wisdom — OK, you do know that’s the journey, right? As a young leader, I knew next to nothing about everything — so I thought, but I did have an advantage as I’d been in […]
