A couple days ago I wrote something on Twitter about “models of mental management.” I don’t know whether I made this ambiguous term up or borrowed it, but it’s basically a way of codifying how you get yourself to do things. The conventional approach, especially in our corner, is discipline. You don’t want to do something […]

I’ve been having an issue with one client. We’ll go into that a bit below, but first a little precursor on my coaching so you know the scene. One of the big things I do in my coaching practice is “deep work.” It’s something I pride myself on: long conversations with the client, psychotherapeutical in
As many of you know I’m from around Philadelphia. And though I’ve moved onto NYC I return often — it’s still my home. One such return was this past weekend for Super Bowl LII. I was determined not to miss this. Back in 2008 I was living in Philadelphia when the Phillies won the World

Today I want to talk about the interplay between Personality and Persona. As you know, Personality is your psychological type, psychological health,

Yesterday I put out a little thread on tactics / strategy in the realm of Persona. We’re going to explore this a little deeper now as it involves attraction dynamics. Recall the rule of attraction: men and women are attracted to opposite energies. Masculine desires feminine and vice versa. This is an important thing to internalize,

WHAT IS #UPSTREAM? There have been a lot of comments and questions about #UpstreamTwitter in recent days — what it entails, what we stand for, what we hope to achieve. We appreciate the interest. But I’ll admit, although the the group nominated me to take a stab at it — these aren’t easy questions to

I am in a serious rush today, so this will be a bit of a “basic bitch” email. But I want to get it out anyway since it’s been awhile since I talked to ya’ll. (in my “other” job this is a very busy time of the year, and as some of you have seen
