When Bad Things Happen to Good People: The Beneficial Twist of Humor PDF Print E-mail
Humpday Dumpday Blog

What should you do when something bad happens?

My advice:  Smile, laugh or make a joke.
Crying is also an option but once you are done; I strongly recommend that you smile, laugh and/or make a joke.
We all have bad days; we all feel like the planets occasionally line up just to cast a shadow down upon us.
How we handle these moments is essential to how we survive and thrive beyond them!
As all of my readers know, I believe in humor.  I believe that humor is; "where grim reality meets total awareness and is beneficially twisted by the mind."  To laugh at something complex is a huge accomplishment and an even greater gift!     (more…)

The Three Rules of Artful Dating and Team Building PDF Print E-mail
Humpday Dumpday Blog

My mother always told me that if I wanted to Attract a good partner I would have to follow the rules of dating.

Here are Mom’s rules; there are only THREE.
 
Rules of Dating
1.     Always look your best.
2.     Smile at everyone.
3.     Be Honest and Faithful.
 
An endeavor in Team Building is basically like dating. Hopefully it is essentially an interview process that will lead to finding a lifelong partner.
 
It is okay to find, attract and be attracted to a lot of people, but you only want to commit to the ones that will provide a long term and mutually satisfying relationship. In that way Team Building is better than dating because you are EXPECTED to do it with a lot of different people. 
 
Not such a good idea with dating!   (more…)

Humpday Dumpday Blog

The first step toward being AWESOME is: Acceptance and Awareness of things as they actually are. This is crucial in obtaining a comprehensive and accurate understanding of where you are in your journey forward and in how you are accepted (or rejected) by those around you.

 
Given your power to Atrract and/or Repel opportunity the most crucial thing to be aware of is; Your Personal BO.
 
No, we are not talking about Body Odor; we are talking about your personal Blessings and Obligations. This is a twist on the pay it forward/ circle of life theory. Everything you do comes back to you; for every Blessing there is an Obligation and for every Obligation joyfully met you receive a Blessing.

Own Your Own! (Article Featured in May 2008 e-Newsletter) PDF Print E-mail
Humpday Dumpday Blog

Any reader (or listener) of mine already knows how much I believe in Dr. David Burns, MD, and his book “Feeling Good! The New Mood Therapy” where we can learn about “thinking ourselves well.”

One of the strategies I find most useful to eliminating cognitive barriers to success, you know, how to avoid the things that prevent you from doing your best is to take a mental vacation and inventory.  Once in a while we should all take a day or an afternoon off just to ask ourselves: “What do I need to start doing and stop doing as it relates to beliefs and behaviors that sabotage my results?”    (more…)

Like most things in life and business; big problems often start small!

The proverbial "800 pound Gorrilla"… the problem or competitor that is ever present; that dominates your thoughts and actions and never seems to go away probably started out as a small monkey.  

The biggest barrier to success is usually within an organization (or within an individual) rather than a quality or strategic advantage your competitor may possess.  The true barrier is usually what you lack; or a flaw that you unwittingly nurture.  (more…)

Generation Y: I am Starting to Understand a Little! PDF Print E-mail
Humpday Dumpday Blog

There I was sitting on my make-shift dock fishing.  (I had the good fortune last year of moving to an ugly house on a nice river.   It is a lazy, tidal river that feeds the Chesapeake Bay basin called the Nanticoke River known for its world class Rock fishing during spawning season in late-March into mid-April.)  The dock is actually an old sunken pontoon boat abandoned by my neighbor; I patched it up and put a deck on top of it… my dock points up river at high-tide and down river at low-tide.

My neighbors are not impressed.

So there I sat, trying to fish and relax while thinking of how to get a much younger peer to understand my vision of a Customer Service training/consulting proposal we were writing together when I got a text from my son Stephen (Visit my Newsletter Archives and Read: Generation Now:  Full of Energy and Creativity While Practicing Safe Text).  It said; “Whats up?”  (more…)
