I am on the road Reader!

After a hectic July, Jim and I are finally getting out of town for a belated anniversary trip. One of my Conditions for Success is to have my work schedule match his, so that we can spend quality time together.

Right now, that means I'm off Mon & Tues for the foreseeable future.

Yep. Jim works weekends. But he's off early enough today that we're driving up to Seattle for a few days to take it all in. We've never been before, and it's always fun to road trip with my sweetie!

In truth, I enjoy just about every moment I get to spend with Jim, which is why it's so important to me to be available when he is home. Even if we're just sitting on the couch watching YouTube to unwind after a long day.

He is my person and I treasure every moment I get with him.

Speaking of YouTube videos...

The other night, Jim flipped over to a science channel with a video about how blood typing was discovered. The story ended up being the perfect opening to this week's blog post about why AI still needs human discernment to guide it - and how Zillow learned that lesson the hard way.

Weird. I know. I sometimes joke that my brain is wired to connect things in sets of three. Give me three random things and I can probably find a connection. That's why I'm "smarter than 95% of all Lisa's" that play Crossclimb or Pinpont on LinkedIn. 🙂 #Neurospicy

And other times, I'm lousy at coming up with a good segue.

Like now...

October 14-17, here in the Portland area, I'm hosting my very last Creative Freedom Retreat.

This transformational, full-immersion planning retreat is for executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders who want to translate their big vision into real results for their life and work.

You can't solve a problem you don't know exists. And this whole event is about helping you see the real landscape around you so that you can make the best decisions for your future... in life and work!

Plus, you'll be one of the first to experience the new One Move That Matters™ approach and toolkit as we transition to the new direction for our company!

10 seats max. Installment plans are available. Basically, if you want to be in the room, let's find a way to get you here.

Until next time,

- Lisa

P.S. This is the only event I'm doing this year. If you want to be in the room and get my eyes on your business, get registered!

I think I'm recovered Reader! While I still can't tell you everything, I CAN celebrate that we've completed the video shoot and give you a few sneak peek images: Mad props to my brand strategist, Rachael Kay Albers who flew out to be on-site for the entire shoot. It really takes a village to bring a project like this to life! Now the footage goes to editing. Look forward to the big reveal this fall. Speaking of this fall... October 14-17, here in the Portland area, I'm hosting my very last...

Hey there Reader! If you've been following along this summer, you know big changes are afoot for me. In less than 2 weeks, I'll be on set for a 2-day shoot for an upcoming project. The only thing I can say about it right now is that this project lays the foundation for the next 5-10 years of my work. Yeah, it's pretty important. I've spent most of this year working towards this. Clearing the decks, closing up shop on old offers, completing coaching contracts with clients. But there's still...

Heya Reader! Walmart is rolling out digital shelf labels, and the public suspicion is already high: Are prices going to change in real time?Will shoppers be tracked?Is this efficiency… or manipulation? To be fair, Walmart has said this isn’t about surge pricing. But companies have a long history of saying one thing and doing another, so the mistrust isn’t coming out of nowhere. Once customers start asking, “Can I trust how this price got here?” you’re no longer just making an operations...
