Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.

Experienced Know-how™

A Diverse Professional Perspective

George Dean

You are who you associate with: I've been fortunate to have worked for or with leading brands and organizations.

Most of the 600+ assignments I engaged in delivered successful outcomes. A handful were not so successful.

Failure is a part of learning and growth.

“You can't live a successful life without doing some difficult things that go wrong. That's just the nature of the game, and you wouldn't be sufficiently courageous if you tried to avoid every single reverse.”

Charlie Munger

It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up.

A Varied Amateur Perspective

Individuals need passions outside of their work to thrive in their professional careers.

My passions, interests and experiences have included:

●

Aviation--general aviation pilot.
●

Brewing--brewer of ale, lager, and specialty malt beverages.
●

Photography--check out my photos at Focus on What's Important.
●

Doodler--random scribbles.

Doodling

My doodling started early in my career during pointless, non-value-added, "mandatory" meetings called by others.

●

It grew as a way to relieve stress.
●

Later, it became a thinking tool to brainstorm, innovate, and stand out.

Re-creations of my doodles, along with captions that captured my thoughts at the time, appear in Project 101 for Business™ as a reminder for you to:

●

Avoid scheduling or attending, when possible, unproductive meetings.
●

Open your mind to new ways of thinking.
●

Chill, as in relax.
●

Have fun.
●

Drop any burdens you're carrying and let your internal ingenuity and creativity surface.

Make the world a better place by doodling now and then.
