More Sun For Your Money

January 31, 2010

It appears my compadres to the north are getting a nasty snow storm this weekend.  Hang in there.  I’m sure Spring can’t arrive a day too soon for ya.
And I can guess that because I’ve been there.  I remember living in the snow belt prior to the invention of the Snuggie.  The gray skies and [...]

One of Us

January 26, 2010

I’m currently reading Chris Brogan and Julien Smith’s book Trust Agents. So far, it’s a good read and I’m learning a lot from it.  One concept I’m enjoying is the idea of being “one of us”.  Meaning that, in order to be trusted, you have to be human and real (for lack of a better [...]

RIP ~ The Handshake

November 19, 2009

At a recent conference, the emcee announced that some attendees might be reluctant to shake hands (with all of the media talk about colds and flu) and suggested it was perfectly acceptable to find an alternative greeting such as the fist bump.  At first, I thought this was kinda weird.  I mean, a public declaration [...]

Workplace Ethics and The Three Monkeys

November 17, 2009

Broward County, my hometown, has made the national headlines again.  First, it was hanging chads (remember them?), then Anna Nicole Smith, now a Ponzi scheme.  The local news has been crazy lately.
It started a month or so ago with the indictment of three local politicians on federal corruption charges.  Shortly thereafter, another local politician was [...]
