When making decisions, it is important to understand the element of TIME.
This is more important now than ever.
While our current crisis – COVID 19 – has turned our world on its head, we are simply in a season.
It is important we do not over-correct and make decisions today that will have negative consequences 12, 18 or 36 months from now.
You’ve heard of the Seventh Generation Principle based on the ancient Iroquois philosophy: When making any decision, always think 7 generations into the past and 7 generations into the future. If your decision makes sense based on history and proves sustainable for the future – a long future – you are on the right path.
In the middle of the current crisis (and make no mistake, this is a crisis), make sure you are making decisions that will make sense in long-term.
Use history as your matrix. Use the future as your guide.
Remain calm. Remain steady. Be patient. Make wise choices.

A culture strategist + HR consultant, educator, speaker and author on leadership + culture, I am committed to helping organizations thrive while elevating human flourishing for the betterment of the local and global community.
In a practical sense, I help organizations develop empowering leaders, cultivate high-performing teams and build strong cultures through training, consulting and team coaching.
The philosophy that drives me: “Above everything… people. Every human being is filled with the potential to lead, create or innovate. Therefore, one's work is the most sacred act one can give away...and time the greatest resource to expend.”
I am on a lifetime mission to help dynamic organizations become more effective in the local and global community by helping senior and HR executives attract, recruit, retain and ignite today’s top talent.
People. First. Always.
