Who am I?

I'm a bestselling author who writes about collaboration and creativity.

I've helped thousands of readers solve their worst, most complicated problems using my love of cognitive science. They’ve transformed intractable family conflicts, launched new businesses and written bestselling books. 

 I’ve seen too many people feel bad about their inability to realize their creative dreams, bouncing from one strategy to another, but never succeeding.

I knew there had to be a better way — one that addresses the way people erratically navigate difficult challenges — so I invented one.

It’s a unique system, the only one like it on the market.

The process behind the planner is the same one I used to make the planner!
