As I was reading more lies about President Obama a few days ago regarding whether or not he’s a Muslim or Christian and some of the other things people still believe about him proven or not, I came to a realization that I’ve always suspected I had, but finally was ready to articulate. There really [...]

Last week I gave a workshop on social media marketing to a very small group. It was interesting for many reasons, but one thing in particular kept coming up that was driving me nuts. One of the participants knew me, fairly well I guess, but obviously not well enough. Both before and during the presentation, [...]

One of the strange things about this blog is that I get a lot of comments from people, but they’re usually in an email instead of commenting on the blog itself. I’m not quite sure why, but I think many people are in business and are worried that someone they work with will see their [...]

On the post, he had the video that I’ve posted below, a presentation by Dan Pink, who’s written many books on the changing face of the working world. [...]

I was having an interesting conversation with someone a few days ago. We were talking about an issue he was having that, from my perspective, seemed to only have one real answer. Me being me, however, I threw out 3 possible scenarios of things that could be done, thinking that one of them was so [...]

Almost two weeks ago a blog post I wrote put me in the top 100 for leadership posts on blogs throughout the blogosphere. That felt pretty good, as it’s always nice to be recognized. Now I’ve made another list, a ranked list, this time placing at #58 on a Top 150 Management & Leadership Blogs [...]

You hope for the best, and you always figure that someone somewhere will like what you’ve written and that it will make some kind of impact. Then there’s something like this, where one of my posts was listed on [...]
