Consider these.....

Have you ever been ‘talked at’ instead of had someone ‘talk with’ you in a real life conversation? It doesn’t feel good to have someone talk AT you.

It leaves you feeling like you might as well not have been there at all.

Blogs can be like that and in this post we explore the power of asking questions on your blog and I share 7 types of questions you can ask to increase reader engagement.

Josie Work till’ you retire....then work some more!

I remember a recent conversation I had with a friend. It went something like this: FRIEND: My father is working for a different company now ME: I thought your father was retired? FRIEND: He is - this is his fourth retirement. Hmm... Retirement sure isn't what it used to be. According to psychiatrist Gene Cohen (2006), "Some people never retire in the classic sense; they continue writing or teaching or coaching or performing until the end of their lives. And not because th… Continue

David J Kovacovich What Wes Anderson taught me about Vulnerability

I spent the better part of the weekend watching Wes Anderson films with my kids. Mr. Anderson has written films about an unrequited school boy crush, adventures by sea and rail, and a family who has discovered their humility. What would these seemingly unrelated tales have in common...well written characters. You see, Wes Anderson's films are not so much about the story but the people these stories envelope. As an HR Consultant, I preach the develop of organizational culture and employee engage… Continue

mike mak job in sacramento

Governor Schwarzenegger and the members of the California State Legislature have come under fire recently for reducing the work week of state employees. California residents throughout the state are angry over what has been happening in Sacramento and insist that cutting the state workers' pay and hours is not the way to save money. The truth is that California's debt is severe and cutting two days per month out of every state worker's schedule is only a drop in the bucket of the money that the… Continue

Todd Batt Is Your Group Collaborative?

Keith recently asked for input about developing questions to see if organizations we're collaborative. These are things I pulled from memory that I have used in the past that directly test the environment of collaboration but also address basic mood in a group about sharing and fears around sharing. The asterisks are just some background thoughts to the questions themselves. 1. Have you/your team/your boss admitted either a major mistake, bad judgment or missed opportunity in the last six mon… Continue

Ian Berry Life/work balance is nonsense - life/work harmony is possible

I hear a lot of talk about life/work balance and I think most of it is nonsense. The word balance for me implies equal. I prefer the word harmony, therefore life/work harmony.

They are in harmony with one another, that is, they work together like a symphony, two sides of the same coin Here are my 11 laws of life/work harmony. I trust they will help you live a more harmonious life. 1. The Law of H… Continue

John Lucchetti A Guitar Hero's "Secret Sauce"

Back when I was studying Jazz Guitar at the University of North Texas, I had an opportunity to take a private guitar lesson from Tim Miller. Although there were some incredible guitarists at UNT at that time, Tim blew everyone out of the water. As you can imagine, I couldn’t wait to sit down with him and find out what goes into his secret sauce. What was it that made him so much better at the guitar than all the rest of us? When the day arrived, I sat down and asked Tim “what is the one thing y… Continue

Gil Pizano Looking for Something To Do? Why Not Give Reading a Shot!

When I wrote this, it was snowing outside, thanks to the courtesy of winter storm Albert coming up the East coast. My town was fortunate to only get 12 to 16 inches.
