Solving Big Problems (We All Have Them)

I help people solve big problems, but obviously only the people who acknowledge they have big problems to solve. Most live in denial, self-righteous indignation or blissful ignorance, which although sounds delightful does not mean they escape the consequences of not solving them.

If you're falling it does not matter whether you know, blame someone else or deny the fact you’re falling for the consequences of hitting the road to be just as real.

Of the people who acknowledge they have big problems to solve most are in crisis, which makes the process infinitely more difficult, because crisis promotes the victim, absorbs brain power and limits both creative and strategic thinking.

A tiny few both acknowledge there are complex problems to solve and stand prepared to do the mental work required to develop the talents and potentials needed to begin the often protracted and uncomfortable work of owning, and solving them.
