“Break It” What is happening in your day? What’s holding you back from reaching what you want? Joe Dutkiewicz, founder and chief thought partner of crayon Leadership, discusses how to look at today and to launch into the weekend with something life changing.
We often feel our mind is overworked. “We just can’t think today…” or “Let me think…”, we tell ourselves. Usually it is because we are not relaxed and we are feeling stressed. What instructions are you giving your mind, your subconscious? Have you given it the right and best conditions to be ready to receive […]
Joe Dutkiewicz, founder and Chief Though Partner of Crayon Leadership, steps through Adhesion Thinking. Adhesion Thinking is critical to ensuring successful thoughts becoming uplifting solutions. After good ideas are shared and raised by the inner circle, normal go-to advisors and hierarchies, there are still two more critical steps often overlooked. We often want an idea […]

We skip the moments to pause and develop the needed talents with each other to reach our personal or business destiny. Learn to capture the “Ummm” time between sentences to pause and […]
We are the makers of ourselves. We are easily distracted and have become lazier, allowing ourselves to think even less these days.
