Great question…right? I have often thought about our need, society’s need for money. Why is it that people risk so much, for the sake of money? They risk their reputations, their careers, their relationships, their sense of right and wrong for….money. But, does money motivate, or just the need for money to buy what you [...]
We started advocating, Be Remarkable!, about a year ago….after reading Purple Cow by Seth Godin. Back then it was catchy, cute, and spoke to the hundreds and thousands of Seth Godin fans that had read or heard about Purple Cow. Jeez, we were hooked, we were so inspired by his book, that we read Free [...]
I became inspired over the weekend! Inspired by a Design book I was ruffling through….looking at colors for offices. We’re in the process of moving our Real Estate office and planning the design, furnishings, colors, space allocation, etc. It’s fun, but also very important to me. Real Estate is all about service, and managing the [...]
You can judge a person’s character when they “still” do the right thing…even though no-one else is looking. I was reminded of this recently when watching a TV documentary on Enron….the Smartest Guys in the room. And, it rings true today. You’d think we might have learned some lessons in the past 200 years of [...]
About a year ago a read a great little book about presenting your ideas, persuading your audience, and perfecting your image.

Have you heard…there’s a lot of buzz out there about innovation. Everyone has their own take on what it is, how to rope it in, what’s important, the six steps to improve it, etc. Well, I’m here to add my own take on Innovation…what it takes to build an innovative culture and the principles that [...]
I’ve always been interested in what makes partnerships work. Back in the 80′s the word Partnering was used in every meeting, every workshop, every seminar I attended. It was like the best kept secret had been let out of the bag. We now know what every successful business person, CEO, CFO, COO knew…that it takes [...]
Live Well, Love Much, Laugh Often! I like that saying, I have it hung in my kitchen above my pantry. I look at it every day…and sigh…Am I doing what it says? Usually, I just smile to myself, and remind myself of how lucky I really am, and how grateful I am that I have [...]
I think, like most of us, I’ve been listening and watching the news each day….staying glued to the “hope” that the largest Oil Spill in history will “stop”….A miracle maybe, but have we learned our lessons. I guess we need to learn the “hard way” that greed, deceit, malicious intent, coveting lands and oceans that [...]
