Sunday was Groundhog Day, and guess what? Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so according to folklore, we’re looking at six more weeks of winter. Let’s just hope there’s not another “Snowpocalypse” or “Birmingham Snow Jam” or whatever you want to call last week....

Last time, I blogged about how the new year is the closest thing we get in life to a “do over.” I discussed how our 7 F’s of True Success model is a simple, handy template for making the most of this do over and achieving success in and out of your office. It’s...

I’ll be the first to say that in real life, regarding important things, “do overs” are few and very far between—if at all. Usually, there’s not a second chance to get something right. You either get it right, partially right or wrong on your first and only try. But...

A while back, while working with a company during their annual conference, the topic of “motivation” came up over dinner. It was a lively discussion with lots of opinions. The question — Can you truly motivate someone? — has been thrown around for, I’m sure, hundreds...

Today is Halloween! How are you going to dress up? Notice I didn’t ask if you’re going to dress up. That’s because I’m seriously suggesting that you do. Today is a perfect day to get away from life’s swarm and have a little fun—or maybe a lotta fun. Halloween is less...

Years ago, I wrote about our (then) 8-year-old son’s efforts to sell wrapping paper for a school fundraiser. If you have kids (or even simply know some), you’re probably familiar with the fundraising season and its many offers of candy, gift-wrap, popcorn, cookie...
