Bob Newhart is Hilariously Insightful

I’m a big fan of Bob Newhart.  A friend recommended this Bob Newhart video from Mad TV.  The funny thing about this video, other than it’s a funny video, is that it’s also incredibly insightful. How often do we get ourselves into predicaments because we do things that are not helpful to us? What if […]

Prizes for Poop is Not a Bad Idea

I recently read an article about a Taiwanese city that offered an incentive to dog owners to clean up after their pets.  The prize?  A lottery ticket for every bag of poop turned in.  The top prize?  $2,100 in gold. That’s how you get people to do what you want them to do.  Inspire them […]

I’m a fan […]

A Do it Well Vacation

We left on a Saturday morning, a weekend I point out, and yet our minds were still lingering on email, voicemail, and what-do-I-need-to-do-for-work thoughts.  On the way to Bermuda we had a stop in Newark – which, by the way, is one sure way to make your final destination, Bermuda or otherwise, look fantastic.  We […]

Do it Well. From Adequate to Amazing.

There’s a great article on the Harvard Business Review’s blog.  While there are not a lot of specifics as to how to go from adequate to amazing, what the article shows is that most of us are only limited by our thinking and that we can improve whatever we’re doing. Here’s the full article:  How […]

Do it Well-Make it Fun…A White Paper

I just added a link to my white paper on Do it Well. Make it Fun. The link is on the home page. Plus, you can read it below. It’s long, but well worth it! Life is short. In a relative, big picture kind of way. So, we must make the most of the short […]
