There are several themes I want to highlight this month: with the economy […]

I love to read. At any given time, I’ve got three books in progress (most related to business and personal growth), and I religiously read two newspapers a day (the NYT & WSJ). When I was growing up, I always ate my breakfast while reading the back of a cereal box. Now I read […]

The other day I was in a career development meeting at work discussing how to help young employees find job roles that fit their innate talents and strengths (for many of them Google is their first job).

My 30-Day No Car Challenge

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Couldn’t Have Said it Better Myself!

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

I’ve got lots of budding blog posts floating around in this head of mine. I also work a full-time job, practice coaching, play coed softball, go to yoga, work-out in the mornings, read the newspaper, hang out with friends, and watch cheesy reality TV shows. Why am I telling you this? Because sometimes (lots of […]
