I help leaders think clearly about the decisions they can't afford to get wrong
Start here
On risk & ruin
A one-minute exercise to de-risk your lifeImagine you wake up in a hospital. What could have been the most likely reason, and is there anything you can do today to prevent that?On human behavior
The Planner and the GatekeeperThe Cortex decides what to do. The Basal Ganglia decides whether to do it.The Dellanna DiagramsA visual explanation for antifragility.Pain is a signal of vulnerabilityPain is not a signal of damage but of possible future damage regardless of present damage (which explains psychosomatic/psychogenic pain). Stress is a state of generalized vulnerability and an enabler of chronic pain. Placebos are permissions to heal.
On management & culture
Culture is the track recordYou change a culture not with words or concepts but by changing the track record.
Bring me your hardest problem
I help leaders think clearly about the decisions they can't afford to get wrong. When a change has to land, I bring the experience and independent judgment to make it work.
- You need a sounding board for your managerial dilemmas.
- You're planning a change initiative, but you aren't confident behavior will actually change.
- Your managers fight fires, but don't develop their teams.
- You're contracting an external consultancy, and you want independent advice on project scoping.
Books I've written
I wrote 10+ books on risk, behavior, and management.
