The quote, as I understand it, was “I am a turnaround guy”. Regardless of the details, that was the message conveyed – and conveyed very effectively indeed. For some reason, this simple statement captures one’s attention and seems to suggest success. Elegant in its simplicity, and powerful in its promise.

The studio where I first learned to practice yoga is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary.   When I began to practice yoga there seven or eight years ago, it was not unusual to attend a class with only two or three other students; now 40 is more the norm.   The warmth in each class was generated by the physical movement, not the thermostat and the strategically placed space heaters in the “hot” classes of present day.   I treasured the studio, admired the teachers, and enjoyed each class.  Now, I rarely attend.  I continue, however, to practice yoga faithfully.   What happened?  The fit changed – what I needed and what they offered was no longer an ideal match.  I was, so to speak, a casualty of its success.

Throughout my career, I have given feedback as a supervisor, colleague, assessor, and coach. Yet, in the past few months, the vast majority of my time has been spent providing feedback to executives and professionals with lengthy tenures, accomplished careers, and impressive resumes. Challenging – you bet! Yet feedback is really the only way to calibrate our performance, to know whether the impact that we are having is what we intend – whether accomplished executive or newly hired employee.

Welcome to the first PBS blog. My intent in beginning this blog is to share information and to explore ideas. It is not intended to be technical or educational, just a sharing of snippets of information that I have found interesting or lessons I have yet to learn. I hope it will be interesting and thought-provoking, but can make no promises. I suppose that as time goes by, I will get better at this. For now, I beg your patience.
