“The significant problems we face can not be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” – Albert Einstein
Another Einstein quote, LOL. When I searched this quote I didn’t realize it was Einstein. Here’s what I would say to the world about Different.ly
Whether you are trying to fix a problem, avoid a problem, or make sure your position is solid and defensible it takes someone who can think “Different.ly” than you to challenge your current level of thinking. Doug has a unique combination of academic training in logical problem solving, practical experience in team training, management, and corporate turn-a-rounds, and God given talent to see and connect thoughts, concepts, and functions in a way that is different than anyone I have ever met.
Are you looking to move to the next best place in your life or business? Are you willing to admit that you are not perfect and that there may be other ways to think or do things? Different.ly is the thing you were looking for that you didn’t know you needed. Doug uses his unique skills to trace back to the root of problems or inefficiencies and finds new and different ways to reconnect the pieces.
As I wrote this, I had another thought about my first interactions with Different.ly before it was public facing. I thought “WOW, thats neat but I’m good”. Really what I was thinking was I don’t want someone digging into my personal life and business to tell me all the things I have done wrong. But as people shared their experiences with Different.ly I realized that Different.ly was different. Their goal is to effect positive change by building a solid foundation of understanding and then challenging me to assess how well I am doing those things in my life and where I could do them better. There was no beating me with my own guilt to force change just positive support and encouragement to move forward with my new understanding to do things better.
