Holiday Spirit…Every Day?
December 16, 2020 6
During December, the phrase “holiday spirit” comes up a lot. After a particularly challenging year, I’ve been thinking about how this phrase relates to the end of 2020 and the start of 2021. I mean, what is holiday spirit? And why is it limited to a few weeks between Thanksgiving and January 1st? I felt […]

As we enter the holiday season, are you feeling like a Bah Humbug? If so, it’s understandable. The past year has been quite a challenge. In fact, I’m pretty sure it will not win the Best Year Ever Award. I don’t even think it deserves a participation trophy. Between COVID, the economy, the elections, and […]

I don’t get no respect. —Rodney Dangerfield Back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, I was experiencing volunteer-itis, a condition known as the swelling of volunteer activities. I served on four church committees, was an active member of a Rotary Club, and was heavily involved in a national association. I was a […]

When people ask me what I do for a living, I’m never quite sure what to say.

My wife Wendy is really good at asking questions. She doesn’t ask them in an annoying way like “You did what?” or “Why can’t you put the lid down?” or “Who let the dogs out?” Instead, she asks them in both a thoughtful and interested way. If you watch her in a conversation, you’ll see […]

I’ve never been much of a runner. In high school, I did participate on the track team for a couple of years but I focused on short races rather than long-distance events. I guess that’s why I’m pretty good at running to the bathroom but not much else. And even though I only competed in […]

In my last article, I mentioned a phrase from my childhood about our being “worth our salt.” If you didn’t read it, click here: Are You Worth Your Salt? This article continues to focus on the remaining principles which I embrace. Hopefully, by seeing them, you will think more purposefully about the principles you value. […]

I sometimes joke that my presentations are “deeply shallow.” On the surface, they’re funny. And yet the deeper meaning sinks in later, despite the funny. In fact, due to the humorous nature of my programs, I’m usually hired to deliver keynote addresses at conferences and meetings. The shorter format fits my style really well. Plus, […]

As a full-time speaker, author, and humorist, the most common question I get from audience members is, “Ron, how do you keep your sleek figure and alabaster complexion?” It’s a fair question and the answer is simple. Fiber. It’s true. I’m very regular, and it gives me this attractively weak and washed out look. The […]
