The Fringle Benefits of Failure
Importance of Imagination 
J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling Harry Porter book series, leveraged her leadership when she presented the commencement address to Harvard graduates on June 8, 2008. She talked about her failure as a young adult and how it taught her to achieve inwardly in order to manifest outwardly. She shared how imagination leads to living courageously when its definition includes the... 
-
"human capacity to envision that which is not"
-
"power to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared."
Her message is a sterling invitation for us to be leaders of our individual and collective human destinies. See for yourself. Watch the live video recording at Harvard Magazine. Let me know what you think. Post your comment below.

Slow Down To Get More Done
The Power of Pacing 
Recently I realized my business goals have me running an endless marathon of projects and priorities. As soon as I reach the finish line of one project and its multiple priorities, I'm at the starting line of the next project with another set of complex priorities. To help me go the distance and achieve my objectives on schedule, I decided to slow down to get more done. Sound counterintuitive and crazy to you? Well, it's really working well for me.

Play the Odds & Achieve Your Goals
Keep Your Eyes on the Prize
According to the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD), you can increase the statistical likelihood of achieving your goals. Your odds of success increase by a certain percentage when you engage in specific goal-related activities.
Here's how you can work the odds in your favor.
If you hear a goal, 10%.- If you decide to achieve a goal, 25%.
- If you decide to achieve a goal by a certain date, 40%.
- If you create a plan to achieve a goal by a certain date, 50%.
- If you tell someone about the goal you plan to achieve by a certain date, 65%.
- If you tell someone you're going to take action to achieve your goal and report back to them, 95%.

Super-Achiever Lessons
Client Wisdom...
Today a client who has run more than a dozen marathons talked about her most recent and life altering "aha" moments. She said for years she was only destination-oriented. This marathon mindset shaped her approach to work and the rest of her life. Her racing mantra was: "Let me get there. Let me get back. What I experience in-between is just a blur."
...
Her experience is not uncommon for super-achievers. Most may not run physical marathons, but the pace they keep is akin to a long distance race to the finish.
