I Hate Museums

12. March 2010

Okay, that opening title is a bit dramatic. First, as my wife reminds the kids–and me–we don’t HATE anything. Second, even if I DID hate something, I don’t REALLY hate museums. At least not all of them, just certain kinds. But what was valuable is that I learned something this week about myself. And, Pascal would be [...]

Coachability

Here’s a short entry that, I believe, is a key success factor in life…Maybe one of the success factors for YOUR life. And this will also help me break my complete absence of blog posts in the last ten days. I also read the leadership books, magazines, listen to the stories and the speakers, and blah [...]

From NBA to Mayor of Detroit

When he reached retirement age, Dave Bing got himself a job he never wanted. Mayor of Detroit? He wanted no part of it. “I really didn’t want him to do it,” his wife, Yvette, says. “None of us wanted him to do it,” adds one of his three daughters, Cassaundra. For years Bing’s old Syracuse roommate, Jim Boeheim, [...]

3 Rules of Success

A great drill down into THREE SIMPLE RULES for success. Too often we overcomplicate. Thanks, William Green, for breaking it down… “I’m a proud plumber’s son from Western Massachusetts. In my family, working with tools is the highest honor. It isn’t how many degrees you have. It’s what you can do. So that had a big [...]

Happy New Year! Now, Let’s Just DO IT!

1. January 2010

I used to scoff a bit at the New Year’s resolutions. But no more… Everybody needs a “restart.” It’s one of the things that made high school or college so great; every year, or ever Semester, you got a do-over. But once you get into working adulthood, the do-overs are a LOT less frequent, and while [...]

The October Road Tour: LA, PHX, CHI

20. November 2009

I had so much fun on the road the last week of October, and even since then so much has happened–including a SOLD OUT EBI in Lacey w/ nearly 300 attending the Corporate Office, along with a road show this week where we’ve been to about 20 cities. I am sitting in the Seattle [...]

Slow Food, Slow Money

Those of you who’ve been checking in with me through my blog over the last two years are probably aware of my ongoing personal mission to achieve better health not only through regular exercise but also through good food choices (btw, I said it’s a “mission”, I’m nowhere near the destination!). I’m a fan of several [...]

The Fun Theory

5. November 2009

Contrary to the title of this entry, I don’t think it’s a very deep or profound concept at all that people like to do things that are fun. When you’re able to take onerous chores and tasks and make them fun, everyone wins. I found this contest that the Volkswagen company is running called ‘The Fun [...]

Leadership Lesson from WHO?

28. October 2009

3 Comments

A symphony. Specifically a conductor of a symphony. I didn’t think it’d pique my interest, but two minutes turned into five into ten turned into the 23 minute lesson which I’ve thought about quite a few times this evening. It’s a great lesson. Entertaining. Thought provoking. Educational. Inspirational. Convicting. I think in each of us there are [...]
