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 [...]

Tuesday Tidbit – In memory of Leslie
May 29, 2012Thank you Thursday
May 24, 2012Last night, our daughter was recognized as one of Central Ohio’s “Forty Under 40.” It was a great honor for Heather, of course, and we are very proud of her. We are thankful for her personal character, her professional excellence as she as built Geben Communication, her ongoing commitment to freely share her knowledge and [...]

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 [...]

Feel free to share them with your team members; it may start a productive dialogue. Integrity has no need of rules. - Albert Camus The glue that holds all relationships together — including the [...]

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 [...]
Thank you Thursday
April 26, 2012I am fortunate enough to be spending this week working in Salt Lake City, Utah. Except for when my Dad passed away, I haven’t spent this much consecutive time away from my husband since 1989, so that’s been kind of strange. However, aside from missing home, it’s been a fabulous week. The scenery is incredible. [...]

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. There are just as many ways to illustrate how diversity enriches us. Take seashells, for example. These three jars of shells are in my office, reminders of favorite [...]

April 16, 2012Stop Trying To Be Like Steve Jobs No matter how much a leader might benefit from observing another leader’s actions, or contemplating another’s philosophies, the leader will never BE that other person. So stop trying. Instead, use the lessons from others, such as the life and times of Steve Jobs, to strengthen your skills, hone [...]
