June 05, 2019 Badass Unscripted - What Would Dirty Harry Do
The cinematic antihero is in possession of mythical, almost unattainable qualities that make them larger than life. But…if you look more closely, there are a few lessons to be learned from our big-screen idols - what to believe, how to carry yourself, and how to act in the face of opposition.

June 03, 2019 Episode 96 – Why I’m So Over Agile
There’s such a thing as too much. At this point, there’s only so much discussing and explaining around Agility that i can handle, after which point, I’m kind of over it. Now, I feel the need to take the conversation someplace else. But where?
• Like Driving a car, i don’t need to focus on fine motor skills anymore. It’s time to use my skill to go new places
• The space is crowded with too much education
• Being nice is nice, but its time to zoom in on how elite teams behave

May 30, 2019 Badass Unscripted - Why Your Organization Can't Compete
* You bring too many people to low value meetings
* You don’t push decisions and accountability down, so ‘decision makers’ are in high demand and block teams - they can’t get where they need to be fast enough to enable a willing group, if there is such a thing
* You don’t celebrate, reward and otherwise encourage willing people
* As a result, things sit around, largely undone, with really great intentions and a satisfying status of ‘working on it'

May 23, 2019 Badass Unscripted – Badass Time Management
If you expect Agile, and your message, to spread, you need to be very good at setting targets and crushing them.
You can’t do that using traditional big-business time management. You’ll need to:
– Decline meetings or limit them to 30 minutes OR LESS unless its team time – group work, facilitation
– Block time IN YOUR CALENDAR to do your most important work – uninterrupted. No exceptions
– Get Good at Saying NO
