As we navigate through life, we all have those defining moments – both good and not-so-good that shape our view of the world and how we relate. Born in 1955, I certainly have had my fair share. But, in January of 2013 I was diagnosed with cancer.
With a career spanning over 40 years primarily with technology leaders like IBM, Digital Equipment, BearingPoint, and Cisco Systems, I have spent most of that time working with senior business executives and government officials to improve business performance on a global basis. I am very fortunate to have conducted successful business and led major business transformation initiatives in most major countries around the world.
My diagnosis with cancer had thrust me into a new world that I knew nothing about. It occurred to me that many of the same situations and insights relating to my personal transformation with cancer I had seen in my career of global business transformation. My senior executive colleagues, contemporaries, and my wife were very supportive when we discussed these insights, and urged me to start sharing my thoughts and experiences. Hence this blog.
I know that meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, and gaining an understanding of how others see the world will make us all better persons and professionals. My hope is that these insights will cause you to stop and think about a broader picture of life, the impact you have, and how others shape how you navigate your life.
