A Daily Moment of Clarity for Your Business & Your Busyness
Good Day. Tim is recovering from the OFFICE DISASTER* and so I am filling in for him. I am an older, less engaging substitute, but I’m comfortable with that. I work for a micro-urban school district of 9400 students and 1500 staff members give or take. We had an incident on Friday in which it [...]
My Uncle Paul has passed away. My mom waited to tell us until she knew I had already flown to Portland because she didn’t want me to cancel. She knew I would have. Family matters. There was a time when it didn’t as much, and it’s my greatest regret now. Uncle Paul was my mom’s [...]
Turns out Walter Isaacson didn’t write the definitive Book of Jobs. Ken Segall did. I’m reading his new book – Insanely Simple: The Obession That Drives Apple’s Success. The book deconstructs Apple’s success in a first-hand account from someone who was in the trenches of Apple’s marketing for years. It’s tremendous and fascinating. In it, [...]

Today’s a big day – full of lessons and dreams for you and me. Because today – a couple of my friends are retiring from a successful company. They’re in their 50s. They’re in great health. They’re leaving the company vastly larger than when they started. Where can you find the American Dream? Today, you [...]

To help celebrate National Volunteer Week this week, I asked a few of my way-smarter-than-me-volunteery-type-friends to share some advice for volunteer coordinators on how to enrich the experience for volunteers. Yesterday, I asked them to help me help you if you’re new to volunteering or would like to get more out of it. Question: A new volunteer [...]
To help celebrate National Volunteer Week this week, I asked a few of my way-smarter-than-me-volunteery-type-friends to help me help you if you’re new to volunteering or would like to get more out of it. Tomorrow, we’ll flip the coin and share some advice for volunteer coordinators on how to enrich the experience for volunteers. QUESTION: [...]
I'm a husband, dad, and I'm the head custodian for The Imagination Advisory Group. All three are pretty good gigs.
I regularly speak to conferences, colleges, and companies about what makes people do the things they do.
In 2005, my worldview shifted when our son was diagnosed with autism. Since then, our family has learned to separate the truly important from the merely urgent.
