Time And Truth Time is Truth. What that means is you invest time in the things that you feel are important. Work, play, rest, whatever…..time is a consumable and limited resource. Each of us gets 24 hours a day, and none of us knows EXACTLY how much of it we get [...]
Ah….summer reading! I frequent the Conversation Agent blog published by Valeria Maltoni regularly, and take away more food for thought than I get from any other blog.

Wow, that was fast! There was all the hub-bub for the Fourth of July, then the flurry of political conventions, and now we’re at the end of the month and looking back at some of the really helpful articles that have been published across the web…..and there have been a LOT of them! Here are [...]

Things are Really Fat for several months (maybe even longer…), so you focus on project delivery and all of the work that entails. Make those clients happy!!!! Â Things lighten up a bit, so [...]

The spotlight model of attention. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) “Come on!! FOCUS!!!” I don’t know how many times I’ve heard that in my life in different contexts….in musical groups who have been rehearsing a tough section, in a classroom that was a bit too warm during a lecture (or lab) that [...]
YOU MADE IT! The big push for Black Friday is over, as is the Thanksgiving holiday (if you’re in the States…).
