Faster, Smarter, Smaller
During this gift giving time of year, it’s easy to let our imaginations wander about what might be hiding beneath some colorful wrapping paper and shiny bow. A new smartphone perhaps? A new, sleek tablet with all the bells and whistles? Years ago, did you ever think...
It’s the Most “Planful” Time of the Year…
We’re about to turn the page on another year. Before we know it 2014 will be upon us. How did 2013 work out for you? Did you achieve all of your goals? Did you achieve any of your goals? Did you establish any goals? I have found that without some sort of plan, I tend...
One of the 1%

While politicians continue to dither and our government seems determined to remain stuck in a rut of its own making, luckily there’s a new type of entrepreneur stepping forward in this country and around the world, showing us that we CAN make a difference in big ways...
Where Have All the Leaders Gone?
Have you been watching the continuing dysfunction in Washington, DC? It’s hard not to. We’re peppered with “he said/she said” style reports, political gamesmanship, opinionated pundits, and so on via 24x7 news coverage and bloggers occupying practically every stop...
The Two Hungers and Your Personal Brand
We’re all pretty much attuned to the notion of company brands and positioning, and to a certain extent, we've all heard about personal branding—which has become especially important these days with the pervasiveness of online and social media activities. Whether we've...
