A Pinch of This and a Smidge Of That

A pinch of salt goes a long way. Add too much and you’re stuck with a snack for the neighborhood deer. Too little and your tastebuds will despise the blandness. Yet, when you hit the mark and impart just the right amount you are awarded with a dish fit for a king (or queen).  I […]

Elementary Behavior

“Johnny pulled my hair, Ella ate her booger!” Timmy didn’t do his homework, Suzie keeps talking to me!”  Middle of class snacks and failure to complete one’s own task is not anyone’s business but their own and who they report to. Sticking your nose, or finger where it doesn’t belong does not increase productivity, or […]

Do It NOW!

The moment a child finds balance on their own two feet the dauntlessness to transform those first stumbling steps into a full blown sprint begins. They are always in a rush. Everything is a crucial matter. Getting from point A to point B is a goal that can’t be accomplished fast enough. Shoveling snacks down […]

The only way we develop. The only way we become better.  Get comfortable with the uncomfortable.  Last week we […]

Practice Being Amazing

Great speakers have been molded from years of listening. Successful athletes have spent hours watching the highlight reels of MVP’s. Deep thinkers have immersed themselves in the thoughts of others.  I can not be a writer, if I am not a reader.  Becoming exceptional is not a solo mission. You must learn from not only […]

Their Fault, Your Problem

Sometimes bad stuff happens. Maybe it’s an unexpected delay or an unavoidable accident. Perhaps it’s simply just a glitch in the system, or an unforeseen detour.  Things happen that may not be in your control. Regardless of any amount of preparation or planning. No matter how many times you have taken that route, or ordered […]

Don’t Get Dumped!

Difficult to get a hold of. Unwilling to compromise. Half-truths, broken promises, and a general sense of dismissal. Causing feelings of unimportance and insignificance. No wonder you got dumped.  Our customers have other options. There are more fish in the sea, and the grass actually might be greener on the other side. Every time their […]

Planning For Prosperity

I have been fired as the Mayor of “Villa de Sari.” It’s that time of year when I construct my Christmas village. My roads were set, the snow prepped for fluff. The power strips were hung and each plug had a designated mate.  What started as a definitive plan soon changed. I was not prepared. […]
