- by Desiree' Stapleton, MBA, DBA | Fractional COO Harvard-Certified in StrategyMost people plan what they’re going to do. Far fewer plan what they need to decide first.A business launch can look like a list of tasks. So can writing a book, going back to school, moving, or planning a major event.But underneath those tasks are decisions that determine what the tasks should actually be.What are […]
- by Desiree' Stapleton, MBA, DBA | Fractional COO Harvard-Certified in StrategyBeing exceptional at one thing doesn’t make you an expert at everything.A CEO can be brilliant at running a company and have no idea how to plan a book. A lawyer can be exceptional in their profession and still be starting from scratch when they decide to build a personal brand. An entrepreneur can know […]
- by Desiree' Stapleton, MBA, DBA | Fractional COO Harvard-Certified in StrategySometimes the goal is still right. The original plan just isn’t.There’s a moment in many meaningful goals when things get complicated and you start questioning the entire objective.The timeline changes. Your availability changes. Something costs more. A dependency appears. A decision takes longer than expected.And suddenly, you’re wondering whether you even want the goal anymore.Sometimes […]
- by Desiree' Stapleton, MBA, DBA | Fractional COO Harvard-Certified in Strategy“That shouldn’t take that long” might be the most expensive sentence you say about a goal.We’re remarkably good at describing outcomes in one sentence: write a book, start a business, get a degree, buy a house, launch something, become fluent in another language.The sentence is simple. The accomplishment usually isn’t.In this episode, we’re looking at […]

It can make them easier to justify.Highly capable people are excellent at making judgment calls.

- by Desiree' Stapleton, MBA, DBA | Fractional COO Harvard-Certified in StrategyYou don’t need to feel confident to start. You need to know what happens next.“Believe in yourself” sounds like great advice until you’re doing something you’ve never done before. How exactly are you supposed to have evidence that you can accomplish something you’ve never accomplished?In this episode, we’re talking about what actually happens to confidence: […]
- by Desiree' Stapleton, MBA, DBA | Fractional COO Harvard-Certified in StrategyWhat if you’ve been incredibly successful at accomplishing goals you never actually chose?There are definitions of success that arrive before we ever question them: the degree, the career, the promotion, the house, the money, the title, the family, the next milestone.And because everyone recognizes them, they’re easy to pursue.Your own definition can be harder.Maybe success […]
- by Desiree' Stapleton, MBA, DBA | Fractional COO Harvard-Certified in Strategy“You have so much potential” is one of the nicest compliments that can keep someone in possibility indefinitely.Potential is exciting because it doesn’t require a deadline.It doesn’t require a finished product.It doesn’t require choosing one thing.You can have enormous talent, intelligence, experience and ambition—and still spend years talking about what you could do.This episode asks […]
- by Desiree' Stapleton, MBA, DBA | Fractional COO Harvard-Certified in StrategyOnce someone succeeds, everybody suddenly remembers why it was going to work.The risky decision becomes vision.The unknown company becomes an obvious opportunity.The years of uncertainty become “the journey.”Hindsight has a funny way of cleaning up the story.But accomplishment rarely feels inevitable while you’re creating it. Decisions change. Information changes. Timelines move. Things take longer than […]
