creativity and mental agility

more important than ever before

We live in a world of constant change and extreme uncertainty. Technological advances in areas such as AI are happening at break-neck speed.

We don't know where the next changes will come from or how we, as individuals, might be impacted. No one can predict the future. 

But one thing is certain: the speed and impact of change are now greater than ever. These rapid changes can potentially render the foundation of your business or career practically obsolete overnight. 

To adapt, we need to be mentally and emotionally prepared for the needs of a future economic landscape for which we are currently unprepared.

The demand for creative thinking and mental agility is more important now than ever before.

Mental Agility Framework

for creative—Problem solving

Discover the best of what I’ve learned along my journey to becoming more creative.

Reflect

Here, you take a step back to analyze your current situation thoroughly. By understanding the forces at play and how they are interconnected, you better understand the problem. This critical insight sets the stage for finding innovative solutions.

Reframe

This step involves shifting your perspective to uncover new opportunities and solutions. Challenging existing assumptions and exploring alternative viewpoints opens up possibilities you hadn't considered before. This strategic shift allows you to think more creatively and effectively.

Refocus

In this phase, you craft a clear, actionable plan that considers multiple scenarios and identifies the best path forward. This ensures your strategy is robust and adaptable, helping you stay focused on your goals. You'll anticipate potential challenges and develop contingencies to navigate them successfully.

What People Say

Some testimonials from people who have benefited from my work.

OMG... You know how to move people. You are one of the very few people I really trust for strategy.

Jun Hasegawa

Chairman | Board at OPN

Your out-of-the-box thinking process helped my team become more creative about customer discovery. Now, we have a much bigger vision for our product and a roadmap to achieve it.

Corey Harris, Esq

Managing Partner, Veritas Global Law

You helped me put $10,000 in my pocket that I didn't have before. When I got laid off from my job, I didn't understand my rights and wasn't sure what to do. You gave me the confidence to speak up, and I got paid what I was owed.

Jalil Seidu

DevOps Engineer: Cloud, kubernetes, terraform

Starting over after taking time off from personal training was hard. I wanted to increase my hourly rate, but Roy challenged me to think bigger. We designed a 12-week fitness program for which I would charge $5,000 upfront. It seemed like a lot of money, but Roy gave me the confidence to try it out. I've already converted three paying clients.

Kenton Boutwell, MS

Owner, KB Fitness

Before our conversation, I felt like I had run out of room to think. The exercises you gave me really helped to clear my mind. Now, I feel I can think clearly again.

Eddie Rivers

The "Vision Through Writing" process you taught my wife helped rebuild her confidence when she needed it most. Now, she's landed a role at Macquarie, one of the most prestigious banks in Australia.

Robert Norris

DAZN Japan COO

I found myself constantly seeking motivation and overthinking situations. Your "Vision Through Writing" workbook and exercises helped me build a process of action. Now, I'm no longer getting stuck trying to figure out what to do because I have a clear direction for myself.

Francesco Diomaiuta

Head of People at Honest

I like your writing style and think you’re a very talented writer. Keep it up!

Azzum Naeem

User Interface Designer

Your "Vision Through Writing" process helped me land my dream job at Accenture. Before our sessions, I focused on trying to fit into what I thought interviewers wanted, which made me nervous. Now, I have a clearer vision of where my life is going, and that helps me filter opportunities. This gave me the confidence to ask questions and turn the tables on my interviewers.
