When I was 8 years old, my grandfather taught me how to play chess. We played together for next 5 years, and in that time I learned how to look at things tactically and strategically, creatively and analytically. You need to be creative when you start the game without your Queen ... Every challenge, comes with the solution built in, whether professional, personal, business, or some combination. The key is to see things from multiple perspectives and to look until you see the solution. Helping others to get past looming challenges is what I do best. Sometimes, it only takes a 15 minute conversation to locate the problem; sometimes a bit longer. In the end, you end up with an action plan that resolves the issues and moves you, or your business, forward.
