Labels There is a lot of consternation out there the last couple days about the Executive Order banning immigrants from seven Muslim countries in order to prevent terrorists from entering the country. While there is a lot of arguing from both sides, I want to focus this post on one ( continue reading… )

January 30, 2017 – The Power of Ideas

admin January 30, 2017 1 Comment

Today’s post compliments yesterday’s post by building on the theme – that we rule our emotions and that ideas have power.  To paraphrase Victor Hugo, armies can be resisted – ideas cannot.  All of us will encounter the naysayer at the office, among our friends, or at home.  It’s important ( continue reading… )

January 28, 2017 – Random Thoughts on Failure and Growth

admin January 28, 2017 1 Comment

This week has been one for celebrating growth, so far as failure brings growth when embraced and learned from.  I can’t say I am excited about having had the opportunity to grow so much in such a short period of time.  Truth be told, it wasn’t so much the number ( continue reading… )

January 27, 2017 – A Note To and About My Fellow Authors

admin January 27, 2017 1 Comment

Today, I decided to write on several topics, including, the lessons learned at my off-site meetings (e.g., pick your seat where you aren’t facing the sun first thing in the morning, plan your coffee consumption to coincide with your breaks, etc.), when it is appropriate to make comparisons with Hitler ( continue reading… )

January 25, 2017 A Speck of Dust for Posterity

admin January 27, 2017 1 Comment

A Speck of Dust for Posterity After Jay came to us with the brilliant idea for Out Digital Dust, we had some really good conversations about the purpose for this effort.

January 26, 2017 – What I Learned from Garth Brooks

admin January 26, 2017 No Comments

What I Learned from Garth Brooks Okay, so the title is intentionally deceiving.  I’ve never met Garth Brooks. I’ve never been to a Garth Brooks concert. So what could I have learned from a person I’ve never met and never seen perform their job? Here it is: Remember to focus ( continue reading… )

January 24, 2017. The Future’s So Bright, Gotta Wear Shades.

admin January 24, 2017 No Comments

I just finished reading Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler (outstanding book by the way) and it spurred me to list all the things that are better today than my grandparents, and parents, had just 50 short years ago.

January 23, 2017 – “Primus Inter Pares”

admin January 23, 2017 1 Comment

“Primus inter pares” (i.e., first among equals) should be the guide for a leader.  As I sit and ponder about our country I would hope that somewhere the idea of servant leader is in the Presidents thoughts.   The idea that a servant leader is the first among equals is the ( continue reading… )

January 22, 2017 – Participation Trophies and Contradictions

admin January 22, 2017 1 Comment

Today I may seem like I am contradicting myself on participation after yesterday’s post, but I think there is a harmony between the two if we look at it in greater detail.  Participation is a good thing, but, in my opinion, participation trophies are a bad idea.  Don’t get me ( continue reading… )
