Our impact on others…

2 comments April 9, 2011

I’m writing this from a Delta flight — thank you GoGo onboard wi-fi! — from New Orleans to Atlanta. It’s Saturday morning, the weather is beautiful, and (believe it or not) one of my favorite actors, Ray Liotta, is in the seat across from me. What struck me most, however, is that as the flight [...]

During my recent trip to Malaysia, I was asked by network television news there to comment on their country’s goal to become a “high income nation by 2020.” Every person I met knew of the national effort.

It’s not about BIG meetings…

5 comments February 18, 2010

Yesterday, Seth Godin told us “No more big events” – while today he wants to inform us of “The best reason for a big event.” Funny, I thought “no more” meant there should be “no more”…like “none.” Which should mean there could be no “best reason” to have one. May I suggest there are only [...]

“IN”…or “OUT”??

1 comment February 13, 2010

At a conference I’m attending, there is a significant amount of discussion regarding techniques members of this profession can implement to improve their income. For many of us — in most careers — the past year was a challenging time. We saw sales dropping and pressures rising. Naturally, we all wanted our professional profitability and [...]
