In a previous post, I resolved the Paradox of Positive versus Destructive Friction. This post is about the Cognitive Inefficiency of multitasking brilliantly animated below… … Which does not even consider the Context Switching costs!
Taking advice willy-nilly is one of those topics that totally befuddles me. First and foremost, I am not a cynic. I just have lived long enough to see patterns and predictable behaviour. “You wouldn’t ask your car mechanic to cut your hair… “ So why would you take business or professional advice from just about […]
We’ve all been victims of technobabble which is why Valuable Vocabulary is so important to be an effective entrepreneur, communicator and/or (public) speaker. This classic video reminds us that more words are not the answer!
WARNING! This is a VERY LONG blog post = a LOT OF FRICTION! Many business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, professionals and elite athletes unknowingly sabotage their own performance because they misunderstand one of the most important paradoxes in high performance: They think ALL friction is bad. They spend years trying to remove every obstacle, every discomfort, […]
I use the term Valuable Vocabulary to reinforce the need to focus on Precision Of Language for Crystal Clear Communication.

This explanation is TOTALLY BRILLIANT… I wish we had visuals like this when I was in school. We all have SPECIALIST expertise which is great, but at the same time is IMPOTENT unless it can be effectively leveraged to create value for our ‘audiences’. These can be sales prospects, students, kids, friends, family members, staff, […]
The controversy surrounding forced and unforced errors in tennis centers on the subjective, inconsistent, and often arbitrary way these statistics are recorded, as they are determined by human scorers rather than objective data. Unforced errors are typically defined as mistakes made when a player has time to prepare and position themselves, while forced errors occur […]
Training is based on the concept of Operant Conditioning, best demonstrated with this adorable puppy… The HARD part with training people is that they RESIST and RETURN to their DEFAULT modality even when they’re motivated and incentivised to make the chance/shift. This is the perennial problem every leader/manager needs to overcome. If you’re trying to […]
