May 10, 2012I had lunch today with an old friend. Susan was one of my college instructors a few years ago. I was in her classes for three of the four core leadership classes at Otterbein University. After completing her classes, I wanted/needed more so I engaged her as an ontological business coach (meaning, an emphasis on discovering what’s possible). [...]

May 1, 2012I am attending the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast this Friday. It will be my third event and I’m just as excited as the first two – perhaps even more so, since I have an idea of what’s coming! (John Maxwell, Urban Meyer, Soledad o’Brien, Marcus Buckingham, to name a few of the speakers). Over the weekend, I [...]
Book Review – Empty Promises
April 30, 2012Read the book! Read the book! Read the book! In his latest, Empty Promises, pastor and best-selling author Pete Wilson examines the goals and ideals that many people (myself included) pursue, only to find that they don’t enrich our lives but, instead, often leave us feeling empty. Through his own real life struggles, examples from people he has counseled [...]

April 10, 2012The Art of Possibility by Rosamund and Benjamin Zander is one of my favorite books from the leadership core at Otterbein University. Benjamin Zander is the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also an inspirational storyteller, speaking and writing about possibility thinking, living and leading. The clip below is just under two minutes, but provokes a meaningful activity [...]
Book Review: Simple Secrets to a Happy Life

Perhaps the Swindoll name, but not one of the preacher brothers? The emphasis on the words “a happy life”? The relaxed font and background color? Whatever [...]

February 28, 2012Starting at 8:00 a.m. this morning, I am spending two and a half days in operations strategic planning meetings. I really enjoy the brainstorming aspect; encouraging a wide-ranging collection of ideas be put on the table, seeing them filter down to a smaller collection of really good ideas, then formulating an action plan around them. I thought some quotes on the importance [...]

February 16, 2012Every day, I DVR The Ellen Show. In the evening, I catch up as time allows. Last night, I watched Monday’s show with guest Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer was wearing a black skirt with the word L-O-V-E across the front. Ellen commented that it is good for the universe to wear clothes with positive words like that. She asked [...]

February 7, 2012On my flight home Sunday night, I read Mark Sanborn’s newest book, Up, Down or Sideways. This book is a little different than his others; it is a tool box, of sorts. In it, you will find tips on “how to succeed when times are good, bad or in between.” It’s a fairly quick read, [...]
