Leaders… if you don’t care, why should your people? I get that you’re jaded and worn out and too stuck in a rut to see clearly where you’re going any longer! But seriously…why would anyone follow you if you yourself don’t see a reason to do what you’re doing? “Just because” ceased to be a [...]

Is It Better to Live in the Moment or Achieve Your Goals?
June 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Living in the moment, taking time to smell the flowers, enjoying the simple things, not having any regrets when we breathe our last… these are all highly esteemed ideals in our society. They are portrayed in a significant number of mainstream movies as “the way life should be”, and if people express regrets at the [...]

Why Your Diversity Training May Be Doing More Harm Than Good
May 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Diversity training is a bit like the bastard kid no one wants to talk about, but then they feel guilty because they don’t want to talk about it, so they end up overcompensating. Okay, maybe that assessment is a bit harsh. But the fact remains that diversity training often does have this awkward air about [...]

World’s Greatest Marketers
October 1, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Okay, let me just say up front… I know this post is going to offend some people. I debated writing it for that reason, but the idea struck me as so humorous (or ironic) that I couldn’t resist. I was listening to a bit of a teleseminar the other day taught by one of the [...]
Great Article on Getting Past Blogger’s Block

Ever know you need to write a new blog post but feel totally up against a wall? I don’t think there’s a writer (or blogger) on the face of the earth who hasn’t run into a block like this before. I read a fantastic article yesterday morning on 50 ways to get unstuck and come [...]
Creativity “on demand”
September 23, 2010 By 2 Comments
Yesterday, I coached a client around the question of how to keep moving forward with marketing and product/service development when the spark simply isn’t there. Now for the most part, I think that what we create is far more brilliant when the spark of passion and creativity is present. Anything less, and it runs the [...]
Unbridled Passion
September 20, 2010 By 2 Comments
I glanced at a blog article headline the other day that started with “unbridled passion”. Although I didn’t take the time to read the article (I’ve been following the Feelgoodz story elsewhere), the concept of unbridled passion grabbed me. Passion is the lifeblood of every successful entrepreneur. In fact, I’m pretty passionate about passion when [...]

September 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I had the opportunity yesterday to hang out with a group of people I wouldn’t normally spend time with. They are really great people; it’s just that our paths wouldn’t normally cross in a typical day. It was a really fascinating experience to observe a different slice of life than I’m used to. As I [...]
