January got started with a bang.  In the first 30 days I’ve traipsed across the country delivering keynote speeches as well as full day trainings.  In doing so, I’m reminded how critical our thinking is in everything we do. Your thinking causes you to act in a certain way, which creates the results you experience.  Ultimately, your thinking creates your...

As my Italian friends ask “How you doin?”  How are you handling these interesting and challenging times?  Jesus said that you “will have trials” – not that you might, or you probably will, but that you will face trials.  How we respond in difficult situations not only determines our joy and satisfaction during such times, but also our success in...

I just returned from that annual mass exodus from the state of Michigan know as spring break. In Michigan spring break is a big deal. By the time April rolls around nearly everyone is tired of winter and it seems that most of the state heads south (or wishes they could). As for the Moran’s, we set our sights on...

Our new book launches this week and it will be available in book stores and online. I have to say, as professionally as I can: WE’RE GEEKED!

Want to reach your goals four times faster this year than you did in 2013? You can make it happen by treating every quarter as though it were a year unto itself, says Brian Moran,...

I recently returned from a fabulous trip to San Diego.  I was invited to speak at one of my client’s conferences: their Leader’s Forum. The purpose of this Leader’s Forum was to bring people together to celebrate their success, and build their capabilities to achieve even more.  I love meetings like this!  The whole notion of leaders and leadership is...
