SLOPPY IS AS SLOPPY DOES...

One thing I am continually noticing as I work through my daily routine, is a concern about the long-term effect of living in a techno-world. I know technology is here to stay, including all future iterations. I also know that there isn’t anyone who knows how it will effect the human beings on this planet. [...]

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?...

Your whole life someone has been telling you to keep your “eye on the ball.” This is the mantra for consistent performance. Consider that maybe keeping your eye on the ball is insufficient to accomplish your intentions. Michael Lewis, in his best-seller, “Moneyball”makes this point—keep only the statistics that have an influence on winning. Baseball [...]

FOOLING WITH THE FUTURE...

People are always talking about, worrying about or attempting to figure out the future. So much so that they lose track of what is happening right now. Since no one is ever going to be in the future, what is all this fuss about the future? Or, maybe the fuss is justified? It is fairly [...]

TRANSFORMATION IS NOT AN EVENT...

Television advertising, print media and in people’s conversations, the word transformation appears on a regular basis. It is “He or she was transformed”, My life was transformed”, “My body was transformed”, etc., etc. I fear that a word used in conversation 25 years ago that was considered weird or strange or cultish is being transformed [...]

THE MYTHOLOGY OF LEADERSHIP...
