This morning, we had to tell our staff that a long time employee, loved and respected across the company, died on Sunday after a very brief illness. Those who heard as the news spread over the weekend were still working through disbelief, and those who found out today were stunned. Many reacted with deep emotion, a sure [...]

May 22, 2012We are getting ready to move. We’re very excited to close the door on too many rooms for two people, too big a driveway to remove snow from, too big a yard to cut. We’re looking forward to getting just what we need to enjoy the next phase of our lives. Preparing for the move has included some [...]

May 15, 2012This week’s Tidbit was inspired by recent conversations about the email he** we seem to find ourselves floundering in. In a recent article for reliableplant.com, 22 Ways You Can Show Your Value In Today’s Cutthroat World, business author Blaine Loomer provides some great ways that all of us can increase and demonstrate our value to [...]

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!

April 24, 2012A different kind of Tuesday Tidbit today… Tomorrow is Administrative Professionals Day. I don’t think our office is any different than most when it comes to the value of our administrative professional, a.k.a. Stacie*. Anyone who needs to know almost anything, find almost anyone, or generally accomplish the impossible knows that she is one to count on. She handles a [...]

April 17, 2012I’ve been giving some thought to a talk I’m giving later in the year about diversity. Diversity comes in many forms; gender, cultural, and generational, to name just a few.

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 [...]

April 3, 2012Last week I had the opportunity to go to a couple of Spring training games in Florida. This week is Major League Baseball’s Opening Day. Seems like the perfect time to share some baseball quotes that apply to all workplaces, not just the grassy diamond. And, by the way, let’s go Yankees! Every strike brings [...]

March 27, 2012Today is National Joe Day. It’s a special day for people who do not like their names. For today only, you can have everyone call you Joe. Not sure what women would do; the “experts” say Josephine or Jody. Who creates these non-holidays, anyway? Maybe someone named Joe! In honor of the day, here are [...]
