Originally published January 29, 2017 This past week I challenged myself to be more productive during the work week by cutting my biggest time-wasting vice: mindless entertainment via Netflix. It’s not the first time, either. Years ago, when I was studying at the community college, I had successfully avoided movies and other after-work nonsense long…

Originally published December 2, 2016 To hear me encourage others to explore their talents and maximize their potential, you’d think that I’d be publishing new blog posts three or four times a week, that my portfolio would have up-to-the-minute samples of my best work, that I’d even be creating enough art to have up-to-the-minute samples…

Originally published January 18, 2016 I rarely share my personal goals because I’m far more used to helping people set business, professional, and career goals. For the record, I do actually have a life outside of work and business (I’m lying, of course), so here are a few personal objectives I’ve set for myself in…

Originally published October 30, 2015 A few weeks ago, I caught up with some former colleagues for dinner, drinks, and camaraderie. One of them left a steady paycheck to pursue a startup idea that had been swirling around in his head for a while. Today, his vision is coming to fruition after a year and…

Originally published September 10, 2015 I wrote a few weeks ago about my supervisor’s response to my request for a 90-day review. She granted me the review, during which we looked over my first 90 days on the new job and looked ahead to our goals for the next 90 days. A month later, company-wide…

Originally published September 10, 2015 Breathing new life into your career – something we all seem to want to do all the time – starts with giving new life to your résumé today. Crafted properly, a living résumé is not easy, nor is it done with a Mary Poppins-like snap of the fingers. In fact,…

I Resume Sugar… at half speed

Originally published August 1, 2015 Sugar is back in my diet. Not like before, though. Eight weeks ago (well, nine for me, as I started a week before my comrades), I joined a small crew of close friends in Sarah Wilson‘s “I Quit Sugar Challenge” 8-week program. I did it for competitive reasons, mostly bragging…

I Quit Sugar: what’s the point?

Originally published July 6, 2015 My kid brother, Greg, made the remark that he doesn’t get the point of quitting sugar. I think he particularly doesn’t get the point of it for me since weight loss is not one of my goals in accepting the 8-week challenge with a group comprising my sisters and some…

Originally published April 1, 2015 How do you know when you’ve found the job or entrepreneurial experience that fits you like no other? I’ve left two solid jobs in the last four years, both times for reasons I couldn’t quite articulate until recent weeks. I’m also a part-time entrepreneur, for all the paradox that statement…

Originally published January 15, 2015 One of my connections on LinkedIn wrote me to compliment me on what he describes as a unique background. Specifically, he clarified, mine is a long list of diverse job experiences. I’m grateful to him for pointing this out. After he mentioned it, I started looking at my experience a…
