I draw on Tony’s work in my coaching all the time: work intensely, with no distractions and then rest; eat well; sleep enough… The key take-away from Tony’s work is that (more) time cannot be created, but energy can be,…
Focus your messages on the results you expect, not on the methods for doing the job. – Marty Brounstein Whether it’s a goal you have, or something you want from others, it’s always better to focus on being clear about what the outcome looks like (than try to prescribe the methods). This way methods can be…
