Change happens. It is inevitable, and makes uncertainty ever-present. Knowhow, skills and experience definitely deliver some advantage, but success also is the benefit of luck and chance. Are you READY for what ever happens?
A prepared mind looks past what they know and what they have done. “What Else” questions emerge openly and actively in pursuit of missing information, meaning and humanity. What else prompting makes some things better. Their constantly seek to stretch, expand and connect their present understanding of one thing, place, time, person and or situation to any other. Learning is not finite and in the past, its’ very much in every moment and infinitely possible.
Doing it Yourself–going alone is faster and fine for a race, but to go far, at scale and/or create impact, pull together with your team.
Paraphrase Rudyard Kipling by Cyrus H. McCormick, 1917 The Harvester Club

WELCOME
Oh hello. My name’s Rachel, and I’m the founder/principal of Arkay Solutions. (yes, named as the transliterated spelling of my initials). I’m based in Chicago and never tire of my vista of the city scape to the east. I’ve been an independent consultant since I left Corporate Banking to start my first internet business in NYC. Naively I thought hey I wanted to do for me personally what I was doing everyday for the bank– move and manipulate mountains of data and develop tools to optimize and report risk and reward. HA! I learned owning the data, systems and tools to manipulate was pretty critical to my success. So, naturally I used my skills to help other risk takers who too had hoped to bring their dreams to life with this wonderful new tool the internet.
I don’t write for a living, rather this blog primarily serves to share ideas enabling small business including start-up founders and their leadership teams to help other startups and small business founders think about their business. Leadership tools and tips not the operating instructions to run it. The practice of leadership is demanding and challenging belief in the possible and fighting back the fears of not being ready, resourceful or resilient . challenge their thinking about what’s possible.
As a complement to my Strategic Business Advisory services, strategic leadership skills and competency of special concern and including references or resources I found informative., links to my other blogs as well. My purpose is to get and give clarity, stir emotions and arouse curiosity with purpose. I’m writing to be provocative, press for some emotion, so please do reply, post your thoughts or reaction.
If that’s not your cup of tea, I definitely recommend this tea. It’s my favorite.
