Lessons & Learnings from a career journey spanning the U.S. Marines, silicon valley, and the executive board room, that will help you accelerate yourself, your business and your career!
Oh how todays terminology confounds us. Terms like accurate self-assessment, effectiveness, efficiency, lean, six-sigma, executive presence, leadership-by-example, empathy, DEI, resiliency, balance, etc., can be overwhelming at times, and thus are misused or mis-applied frequently, regardless of how far you've progressed along your career path journey, or what outcomes you have achieved so far.
One thing I wish I’d had when I started down my career path was a "how-to-guide" that helped me understand more of the true meaning of these and other terminologies, and the power of their application earlier in my career, where it could have had an even greater impact on myself, my career, and the companies I worked for sooner.
I’m hoping that this book becomes that "guide" for you. I hope it will help you see things before they happen, help you understand them when they do, and help you respond to them in a way that leads you to a successful outcome. It is my attempt to simplify and demystify some of the things you may have seen or experienced in your career so far and thus get to a Better Outcome faster.
In Better OUTCOMES, I explain patterns and other observations of success I have seen or experienced across the years and break them down into four simple areas with the following focus:
• A focus on making the right career choices for yourself and not just living with ones you may have "fallen" into.
• A focus on being more effective and efficient by being faster-better-cheaper every day.
• A focus on having and applying leadership characteristics and capabilities across it all.
• And the importance of having balance, resiliency, and continuous learning throughout the journey.
In Better OUTCOMES I break down complex terms and examples into simpler forms, ones that are easily understandable and can be applied yourself. I use a mix of applied knowledge, with many examples drawn from my actual business experiences, and theoretical knowledge drawn from the prior business writings and research of others, so that you see how others have accomplished things and thus learn from their past successes, and sometimes failures.
In the end I hope it causes you to think differently, question some, or many, of the assumptions that have gotten you to where you are today, and layout new or different ones for tomorrow, if needed. It is my attempt to simplify and demystify some of the things you may have seen or experienced in your life and career so far, and thus get to a better outcome faster!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to HPB-Diamond, Carrollton, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
