I boost people (like you). And their careers. Been doing so formally (i.e. for money) since 1990. Initially by snobbishly focusing on CEOs and senior executives. Today? Now I am older and wiser. I now help anyone who could do with a lift, a nudge, or even a tickle.

One way I do so is to write "Insights" and "Trigger Questions." Because I know what it takes to deal with the nonsense of pleasing a boss, playing nice with colleagues, making subordinates productive, and living a life. Me? I was born in the middle of South African wine country, earned three degrees drinking red wine, was chased by a lioness, had to run from elephants, got bored, and moved to the USA seeking adventure.

On the same day as my encounter with that lioness and those elephants, I saw a lot of dung baking in the sun. And many dung beetles. That's when I realized that what I see as nonsense might be sense to someone else.

As an executive leadership coach since 1990 (and as an ex-CEO and management consultant), I have seen a lot of nonsense at work.

Which is why I write about the nonsense at work, in the hope that I can help you make the nonsense at work work for you.
