    Accidental Millionaire - the Next Chapter

    December 2nd, 2009
    It was a room filled with about 300 networking engineers.  True geeks, that's for sure.  I was there in the room to deliver a training to these high-level engineers about a subject they all loved - TCP/IP. As the training went on, I discussed protocol, troubleshooting, hacking (oh excuse me, I meant to say "breaking down patterns to achieve entry into a network") ARP, RARP, PING and a hundred...

    Why the Law of Attraction Doesn't Work

    December 14th, 2009
    Dallas is a beautiful town, I think.  I wouldn't know because I've been in a  hotel conference boardroom with a speaker client doing a 2 Day Turnaround session to clarify her business message and clear her head.  We're knee deep in "stuff" and it's a blast getting everything organized into a plan. Just as I thought we were finished, she looked over at me, her eyes softening and said "Let me ...

    Frustration, Confusion and Fear...oh my!

    September 15th, 2009
    Just got off the phone with a consulting client who has restructured the people in her business to be aligned with the appropriate job.  (Honestly, if I only did one thing all day, it would be style and values testing because it makes people understand their relationships so well!) Not only is she happier, but so are the other people on the team.  According to Gang & Gang, 55% of peop...

    5 Things You Must Know About Sudden Success

    July 1st, 2009
    These are very interesting times.  The world seems to be polarized - truly feast or famine.  Businesses are going under and the cries of "the economic crisis" ripple through the planet like waves ripple out when you drop a rock in the water.  Fear, failure and the world's obsession with dramatic events blanket the airwaves.  It's almost impossible to ignore. But there's something else going...

    Slow down to speed up

    December 6th, 2009
    Just finished watching the movie Peaceful Warrior.  (If you haven't seen it, go grab a copy at the DVD store.  It's one you'll want to see more than once). In the movie, Dan, the main character, has a very busy life. He's a young college student and athlete, bound for the Olympics, he trains hard, plays hard and gets good grades.  A certain feeling of uneasiness comes over him about his life...

    You're only 6 steps away from living your passion

    January 5th, 2010
    Have you seen the movie "Up In The Air?"  I went to see it recently and found the main character's passion interesting. In case you haven't seen it, the movie is about a guy who travels the country, 300 days per year, and fires people for a living. He loves every aspect of traveling, especially the parts that require him not to commit to any relationships - not family, not friends and certainl...

    We are the world....at what price?

    July 11th, 2009
    It's been 4 days since we said goodbye to the King of Pop - or as some would now call him, "The Greatest Artist that Ever Lived."  Some were shocked by the news, most saddened and some don't care at all.  Whatever your personal opinion of Michael Jackson, there is no denying the massive price this person paid for having so much success in his life.  And along with that success came the high p...

    10 Things I Learned On The Way to 10,000 (Twitter Followers)

    July 31st, 2009
    While some have said I'm some kind of Twitter expert, let me tell you a little secret:  a few months ago I had zero plans (yes ZERO) to use social media.  I found it to be confusing, overwhelming and frankly not much fun.  While I may have figured a few things out, in no way do I see myself as a guru of any kind.  That's why I wanted to share with you today some of the things I learned on the ...

    Your Change is Going to Come.

    October 21st, 2009
    I want to talk with you today about change.  It's an inevitable part of life, yet sometimes it seems so hard. Changing relationships, careers, community, environment, health, emotions, mental states can really wreak havoc on the best-laid plans. Sometimes you just want to quit. I have something very personal I want to share today. This past year, has been one of those u...
