Portland | A Journey of Renewal

Thank You, Susan Boyle

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

Sometimes there are certain moments that words don’t describe well. Which is why I won’t try to share much about today’s posting and I’ll let this seven minute video taken from “Britain’s Got Talent” give you chills from seeing someone’s dream realized. I wish I could embed the video itself, but that feature has been disabled [...]

Can we agree on a few simple premises? 1. There’s a huge need for secondary or replacement primary income right now? More than ever in the past three decades, perhaps longer? Everybody is faced with the prospect of layoffs, 401k matches missing, salary reductions, and on. Not to say that everyone is going through it–but everybody [...]

The Phoenix VLOG

This is one of my first-ever predominantly video-blogs (vlogs), but it’ll tell the better story comprised of a few different clips from a great evening. Thanks to all the Phoenix leadership, including Barry and Connie Lucas, Kenny and Esmerelda Rossi, Ron Faunce, Dr. Jack Burns, and many many others who participated and helped. Thanks to [...]

Growing up we did the annual trip our West, generally Colorado. We’d start in Columbus, Ohio, and 24-hours later we’d arrive into the Denver area. Lots of memories evolve from those trips, including a few funny prospective blog stories, but one of the things I remember most about the journey was the dialogue and the [...]

Austenver

This entry started as what would be a combination of two events, Austin and Denver. Thus the name, Austenver. Then, I started looking at all the great pictures and people from Austin, and I just couldn’t bring myself to pull the two events together. As I type we’re en route to Denver, placing bets of whether [...]

Nashville (creative heading, huh)

My creativity brain cells are, I believe, starting to diminish. But the excitement on the road for Univera isn’t! Sometimes when I write these entries about the Road Tour I feel like it might read as a bit of over-enthusiasm for these events, but really, if they weren’t good events I either wouldn’t write about them [...]

On the Road Again…

So while I blogged already about our road trip from Montreal to Portland, there’s a bit more to add…Including this odd little pairing above, a “State Safety Rest Stop” where they’re cross selling using a “State Liquor Store” right off the highway in the middle of nowhere. That’s one way to raise revenues. An audacious [...]

The Problem with People

Sunday, March 22, 2009

I know it’s a negative sounding start, but there are–indeed–quite a few problems with people. All of us. Without railing against humanity, as there’s good to humanity as well, the problem with people is we’re often greedy and selfish. I’ll forego the whole “well is it nature or nurture” debate, partly because it doesn’t really [...]

So Goes Leaders, So Goes the Team…

One of the things that I love about spending time in the Field is hearing the excitement and enthusiasm of Associates, particularly the newer ones; and business testimonials are a great way for these to manifest. One of the most memorable messages came back in early November at the Portland Super Regional. The Friday night leadership [...]

Winding Down (the Road Tour, that is)

We left Jax early enough, around 8 a.m., and caught a 10 a.m. flight that had a layover in Philly. Now, when I kidded about foreshadowing in a previous post and how Stephen was forced to wolf down some rather unwholesome (but probably tasty) Bob Evans food due to scheduling problems, it probably was an indicator [...]
