Okay, that’s a pretty bold title, and it may put some folk off, but sometimes you have no other way of saying something without diluting it. I was watching a conversation unfold on Twitter the other evening about public relations, and why a lot of the PR industry is in disarray. While the “bloggers and… [Continue Reading]

Children fear nothing. They may be scared of something, but it’s a different kind of fear. They want to check out everything around them. They look at things differently from us. They see unique and new; we see “been there, done that”. Children have that innocence that says everything has yet to be discovered. They… [Continue Reading]

Your cell phone has dedicated ringtones so only three people get through (and they’re all “Yes” people). You’re permanently in meetings that you’ve arranged that don’t need to happen – the earth won’t… [Continue Reading]

You don’t have to be a superstar. You don’t have to be the top dog. You don’t always have to be the number one. It helps. It can offer kudos and creedence to your name. But superstars fade. Top dogs become old. Number ones can fall by the wayside and soon drop out the Top… [Continue Reading]

It’s been a little quiet around here the last few days. And, for that matter, on Twitter as well (not so much Facebook, as that’s not one of my more popular haunts). Anyone that knows me will know this isn’t normal fare – I’m usually much more vocal (although the silence may be preferable to… [Continue Reading]
