The other person is always right

I read this a while ago on a blog by Seth Godin, a business author, entrepreneur and marketer. I have not been able to get these words out of my mind, since. It’s so true. It’s so simple and so true. It’s black and white, not much grey, at all.

This is not the testy, childish “I’m right and you’re wrong” kind of statement. This is about empathy and respect. We live in a world Read More

Make mine a double

Do you ever think you’re missing out on some things in life because you lack confidence? Do you sometimes feel like you need an extra shot or two to get through a session with an ogre, a.k.a., your boss, your MIL, your [insert relevant noun here]?

Little things – Thank you

The other day I was driving home after a series of intense meetings at a client site. I was downtown in the heart of a neighborhood with a rather poor reputation and a challenging history. It was mid-afternoon and classes at the neighborhood school must have just finished because the sidewalks were full Read More

Is your duck blue?

It seems to be all the rage right now. Adult coloring books are hitting Amazon’s best sellers list. They’ve taken over tables in real world bookstores, Pinterest and Facebook, too. Some of them are pretty amazing, intricate and fantastically detailed, but what exactly has made coloring such a thing these days?

Well, the general consensus is that Read More
