April 2026 will take a slightly different approach to the 30-Day Challenge. Each day of the month, I’ll be participating in the 30-Day Tai Chi Coach4aday Challenge. What will be different this time is that my daily posts won’t be limited to that day’s exercises—I want the freedom to share more spontaneous and wide-ranging thoughts along the way.
I will still include the focus of each day’s Tai Chi routine, but much of what I write may explore topics far removed from exercise. Just as Tai Chi is designed to improve flexibility, I hope my writing reflects that same sense of openness and adaptability each day. For Day Ten my comments are on the 5 F’S of an executive search.

“Tai Chi” 30 Day Challenge
Searching online for a 30-Day program brought me face to face with lots of options but I have chosen a plan led by Dr Alan Potts PT. You can download the schedule I am utilizing at this link.
It looks like this

April 10th-5 F’S of an Executive Search
Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to connect with a candidate I had reached out to during a search I was leading for a client. This particular leader was seeking a deeper understanding of the fundamentals he experienced in our interaction and was interested in replicating that approach for himself.
There is no secret formula I just shared with him the concepts I gleamed from the book WHO: The A Method for Hiring by Geoff Smart.
When I shared with him Smart’s five F’s—FIT, FAMILY, FREEDOM, FORTUNE, and FUN—it was FIT that he wanted to explore more deeply. I explained that with every potential hire, my goal is to ensure all five F’s are aligned and working for them.
I described FIT in simple terms: what someone is truly good at professionally and what they genuinely love to do. When those two elements align with what my client needs in terms of outcomes and results, that’s when we have true FIT.
