High Performance Leadership

This is for you. You know who you are. You've got great ideas. You've got stories to tell. Adventures, misadventures, songs off tune and songs in key. The kind of material that fills you with so much lightness of being that you sometimes float away as well as the kind of material that weighs you down no strong wind could ever move you. Write that book. Chapter by chapter, idea by idea. Where it goes comes later. What you do with it comes later. Who cares about it comes later. You are filled with treasures unclaimed. Don't keep them in your chest. Don't trap them in your head. Put them in motion. Set them free. Write them out of you with the fervor and glee of a jazz musician gone mad. Go a little crazy, just get it all out. Write that book even if no one ever reads it. Especially if no one reads it. It's for you. -- Doug Smith

photo by L. Scott Force For those who are interested, I've gathered much of my artistic side in one place. I would love it if you would follow my art-side blog here: douglas brent smith It includes my work in acting, collage, music, and poetry -- plus whatever artistic, creative endeavors emerge in the middle of my world. Most people know me as a trainer and consultant. Here is a peak into the other sides of me. There are links on how to connect with me on many of the various social media platforms so jump on in if you are so inclined. -- Doug Smith
