    Worker Bees

    /No Comments

    Thought for the day  I went to buy  my coffee this morning and  I forgot to grab cash.  It’s 5:00 am and I'm really wanting coffee bad.  All I had were checks and a credit card in my little fanny pack. The coffee shops  credit card machine was down and they didn’t take checks.  About this  time  an older woman  approached the counter and offered to buy my coffee for me.  She said to me “I’m just paying it forward”.    I didn’t argue with her – I let her buy my coffee for me -and I gave her a hug.   Now it’s my turn.   I understand – it is about personal satisfaction. Being able to…

    The philosophy and principles of business cannot be fully taught from a lecture podium

    /No Comments

     There is a fairly large gap between academia and the business world. What you are taught in college is not necessarily going to equate to real world settings.  Life is not a pre-defined scenario.  Rather, it is more like a jungle of pandemonium; or simply organized chaos.  There are those in academia that tend to struggle with the concepts of business and social welfare when confronted with honest debate about current affairs.   An unfortunate turn for students attending college or a university is locking horns with a tenured professor who has not worked in the business or social realm for decades.  Their views often can be harsh and demeaning toward…

    When it happens to you – reorganization

    /No Comments

    Having suffered through the loss of a job that I thought I would end up retiring from was a blow. It was one of those knockdown moments. I understand the need that some have to correct for the wrongs. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I did no wrong. In fact, I was too good. Just to set the record straight. I'm not being conceded. I was good at my job. I enjoyed it too.You have to continue to do right. You have to stand on your principles. People will gossip about you, attempt to find the hidden dirt (which there isn't any). The truth is…

    The Power of Words

    /No Comments

    The words we choose to get our point across can be mighty in their delivery or conveyed in the simplest of form. Whether mighty or simple it’s the actions behind those words that make them effective or ineffective.Words are meant to convey something or prompt action. Those words could be power selling, resume words, inspirational words, words that hurt, mind blowing words, healing, moral, ethical, or inspiring words, etc. When we combine lists of power words with the use of social media in the work place, who benefits the most from their usage? This is a question that a lot of organizations struggle with today. Who is going to monitor…

    Business walk on the Rocks

    Business walk on the RocksI watched a Ted Ex video the other day about chat walks. Taking your business meetings and making them outside meetings. Inspired by this talk, one has only to think about some of the following items:decide on the location of the walkthe length of time available to walkwho you will meet withwhat you will discussand the weather of course.The amount of stress alone saved in taking a chat walk is worth its weight in gold. It also helps to cut your blood pressure down, beef up your cardio, raise those happy endorphin's, and bring a level of wellness to your entire body.Steve jobs once quoted :Your…
