“They always say time changes things,
but you actually have to change them yourself.” ~ Andy Warhol

What one attribute did you develop, that positively changed your life in 2019?
What one “aha-moment” did you discover this year, that you’d love to be able to go back in time, to share with your January 1, 2019 self?
Who else could benefit from your newly acquired knowledge?
Personally, my holistic growth in life this year has surprised me in so many ways. Awakening each day, like a 7-year-old on his birthday, no matter how challenging the day before was (and yes, there were many this year) has truly been a gift!
One of the keys to this awakening has been implementing my periodic jettison program. I look at every relationship and genuinely determine who I believe should:
- Be in my life; or,
- Not be in my life; or,
- Is welcome to re-enter my life.
This Life Jettison Program (which I discuss in greater detail in my holistic leadership book) applies to both professional and more importantly, personal relationships. The key drivers are aligned with where my unique life journey is going.
Do you have a similar program for your life? Do share!


I called each one of those whom I wanted to continue being in my life, to share my process and to let them know how much they are truly appreciated. Their kindness, help, ideas, appreciation and responses back to me, moved me to tears at times.
How does your process work?
Those who know me best have a holistic relationship with me. Professionally, most are awesome; but, personally they are extraordinary people that lead purpose-driven lives. I’m quite blessed!
How would you describe your 5 closest relationships?
Is it Fate, Karma or … that brings new people into our lives that inexplicably and positively change us forever? People that are so amazing, spectacular, etc., that words are completely insufficient to describe them.
Are there any amazingly spectacular people that somehow came into your life that have / will change your life forever?
What are you planning to do differently in 2020?

Raise Your Glass to a Toast: To surviving the 2019 bumps, crashes, etc., while appreciating and growing in the wonderful experiences that will enable you and your relationships to enjoy an exquisitely special 2020!
Who changes the world? I believe it’s almost exclusively the Top-7%. They are the only ones with the Talent Portfolios and social consciences needed to actually implement significant positive social impact.
If you believe you’re one of these executives, we’d love to explore possible opportunities.
Get MAD! … Get Making A Difference! ~ JR
