This month’s newsletter organization is different than that of previous newsletters. As I was preparing content about the Peripheral Thinking™ skill called ‘Surveying,’ client examples kept coming to mind. I can give you a clinical account of the companies, industries, situations, and resolutions. But what fun would that be? Besides, stories make principles and ideas more memorable.

In the Northern Hemisphere, July is full-on summertime! So, businesses need to adjust their third-quarter growth expectations. Here comes the ‘Summer Slowdown.’

Whenever your ‘summer’ is—July or January—the Summer Slowdown is a given… Or is it?

Let’s check the periphery.

You come from all walks of life, industries, cultures, and countries. And together, we are all learning and growing. So, it is only fitting that in this month’s Break All The Rules newsletter, we’ll discuss diversity's role in growing your businesses. Like most things with Peripheral Thinking™, we’ll be looking at diversity from a different perspective—a peripheral perspective.

In this month’s Break All The Rules newsletter, you’ll learn about the traits my mom instilled in me. I share how specific Peripheral Thinking™ skills amplify these traits. And you’ll learn how Peripheral Thinkers™ use these skills to lead their companies to heights others only dream of—with my mom's help.

Enjoy the newsletter.

React. Comment. Please share it with a friend.
