It seems funny to me, and probably to some who know me, that I’ve waited until the last day of the month to write anything about Black History Month. It’s certainly not because there hasn’t been anything to talk about, that’s for sure. It’s strange, but in the year of Barack Obama as the new [...]

This is something I’ve never done before, but I’m posting a little bit of advertising on this blog for once. I’ll explain why. There is a Tony Robbins seminar in New York City on March 12th through March 15th. Almost everyone knows Tony Robbins as this big guy with big teeth that used to have [...]

I found someone else who has used coaching to help improve her life, though this time it’s more for business life that personal life. Once again, her name will be anonymous, but she named some people, and I’ve linked to those people as I could find them: 1. What kind of coach did you employ? [...]

In the Syracuse, NY area, my friend Lisa Deveau of Completely Organized, will be giving a series of seminars in March, and if organizing is something you have a problem with, you should think about attending. She’s also doing a joint seminar at the end of March with Joanne Del Balso of No Fuss Accounting, [...]

Some of you know I do executive coaching, though I’ll also sometimes do some life coaching. I’ve been asked by some folks what coaching is all about, and how it could help them. Though I always give an answer, coming from me, as someone who’s never had coaching, it always seems to come across as [...]

A few days ago, our new Attorney General, Eric Holder, made a statement that’s got a lot of people upset. His main statement was that America is “essentially a nation of cowards” when talking about race. And you know what; he’s absolutely correct. It’s a strange thing for many people to consider, but let’s look [...]

This is a special post for me because it’s my 500th post. Oddly enough, I started this blog on February 22nd, 2005, so it’s also almost the 4th anniversary of writing this blog. Based on the numbers, it seems fair to say that I’ve written an average of 125 posts a year on this blog, [...]

Believe it or not, this is NOT a post on race. It’s a post about decorum, or lack thereof, that seems to be getting worse and worse in today’s world. Hopefully you saw yesterday’s post on the image of President Obama as a monkey, as wel as other negative caricatures and pictures of him that [...]

Goodness, we still haven’t had President Obama in office a month yet, and not only is Rush Limbaugh, easily a renown racist conservative radio host spewing his filth, much to the delight of closet racists across the country, but now he has more help. Not that anything Rupert Murdoch’s companies are involved in don’t smack [...]

I met Althea Garner almost five years ago on Ryze, and she’s been one of my best friends and ardent supporters ever since. Hers is an interesting tale of relocating from Zimbabwe many years ago and having to struggle to have success in America. But successful she is, and since I’ve known her, this is [...]
