Sharpening the axe 🪓
Hi Reader,
In this week off, I've filled my continuous learning cup with LinkedIn Learning courses, TEDx videos, and flipping the physical pages of your good old-fashioned book.
Yesterday afternoon, I watched Stephen Duneier's TEDx Talk, How to Achieve Your Most Ambitious Goals. A particular statement stood out.
It reflects how I think of things, personally and professionally. From consulting in Organizational Change Management to coaching entrepreneurs and sales professionals, and preparing for ultra-endurance events like my favorite multi-day races, one's process is a critical ingredient.
Most often, I see teams, leaders, and individuals performing reactively, because of a lack of attention to process, where winging it seemed to be quicker and more convenient. However, rework because of project delays and failures isn't so convenient. I remember learning that the hard way.
Where those same people focus attention on building a foundation of process through business planning, stakeholder mapping and analysis, discussion and feedback, they clear obstacles that would otherwise derail efforts. The result:
- Enhanced communication and collaboration
- Improved engagement and productivity
- Reduced need for rework
- Higher quality outputs
- Happier workers
Rather than rushing into 2024 without a well-defined process, consider taking a page out of Abraham Lincoln's book:
Ready to sharpen the axe?
The idea alone isn't enough to introduce a new process successfully. Even those ideas of positive impact will face resistance from employees, managers, and other stakeholders.
I help organizations assess their change readiness, understand and utilize resistance effectively, and realize financial goals through improved employee engagement and a competitive advantage in change management.
Let's start 2024 off with a sharpened axe together.

Hi Reader, Drive alone does not equip you for sustained success. This was one of several quotes in Dr. Jannell MacAulay's TEDx Talks on high performance under stress and thriving in work and life. I was curious to learn her perspective on establishing work-life harmony and avoiding burnout, especially given her roles and experiences as: A USAF veteran, military leader, and combat pilot Leadership and Human Performance consultant High-performance mindset program creator Military spouse Mom of...
Hi Reader, As the end of December nears, I've started my year-end reflections and 2024 planning. Clients are doing the same, with the goal of improving their organizations' relationship with change. Here are 5 areas they're focused on, and that may be of help to you, too: 1) Reflect on 2023 Beyond self-reflection, plan for group reflection on the successes and challenges your organization faced. What worked well, and what could be improved? Encourage your team to share their perspectives. It...
Welcome to this rare, Saturday edition of the Inevitabl newsletter. It's brought to you, in part, because of a new role, responsibilities, and schedule to accompany my existing, professional adventures. Having been asked by a friend to become the 1st sales hire, as an Account Manager, this coming January for his new pursuit as a franchisee in the environmental commercial kitchen solutions industry, I was excited for the challenge. As unplanned change can strike in any business, I got the call...
