First, the latest TTM Consulting Newsletter, People Will Leave Your Life, based on two posts ago, is available and has gone out to all my subscribers.
I was reading an article earlier on how the social networking site Facebook, is going through a redesign, which is going to launch at the beginning of June. I [...]

About a month ago, I went to the store up the street to pick up a prescription medication for my diabetes. The clerk behind the counter told me I owed close to $50; I was stunned. I told her that my medications are supposed to be free, which they are. She checked [...]

Lately I’ve been wondering what’s going on with a young friend of mine. We were talking almost daily through instant messaging for awhile there, and it was fun. Then one day I didn’t hear from her, and when I finally did it was about two weeks later through email. She said she [...]

Time for us to slow down for a few minutes, take a breath, and decide we want some moments that will make us feel good. The folks from The Secret have produced this video called “Planet Earth” that I just have to share after watching it. If this doesn’t make you feel good, [...]

I’m always sitting at my computer when I’m home. I feel like my office is my own oasis within my house, my own room of fun. My wife calls my computer “her”, and says I may spend too much time with “her”; she’s probably right.

Many years ago, I inserted myself into a situation that was clearly sexual harassment; unintentional, but sexual harassment nonetheless. Because I was a director at the time, I felt an obligation to do something about it, even if it was just to talk to both parties and encourage the director to make a big [...]

Back in March I wrote a post about a new interview initiative being undertaken here in the Syracuse area, and how the first interviewee was Art Zimmer.
Jill Hurst-Wahl, the initiator of the series, named Enitiative, wrote about the interview here, and she captured it all very well. I like that our area is doing [...]

This morning I awoke feeling tired and miserable. It’s no wonder; I had been trying to fix an issue for one of my clients, and I didn’t figure out how to address the issue until just after 1:30 in the morning, and didn’t get the issue totally fixed until just after 3AM. And, [...]
