The Workspace Positivity Makeover!

Posted January 4, 2011

Did you ever stop to think about the impact of your workspace on your overall level of positivity? And before we go any further, I’m so not talking about cleaning up and organizing your workspace. Although, if you ever notice seagulls hovering your workspace, that might be mother nature’s way of saying “Clean up that … continue reading »

Are You Dis’n Your Personal Brand?

Posted January 3, 2011

So when it comes to your personal brand, what’s your main thing? In other words: What do you want to be known for? Be Synonymous with? Stand for? Excel at? Your difference? Now I’d like to continue peppering you with branding questions but there’s a really important question. It’s a question that might reveal a … continue reading »

Same Auld Lang Syne?

Posted January 3, 2011

I thought it might be cool if we started the new year off with a quick field trip. I’ve written an article about this whole business of goal setting and New Year’s resolutions. Yep, so has everyone else . . . except I’ve designed mine to be a tad more grim and a little less … continue reading »

A Lesson In Maturity & Gratitude!

Posted December 31, 2010

As many of you know, yesterday was a challenging day for my family and I. Somewhere beneath the worry, the trip to Sloan Kettering and quite a few prayers, it was also my daughter’s birthday. Oh great, Castain’s New Year’s Rah Rah is about Cancer and Birthdays? Read on! In spite of having both her … continue reading »

I Hope This Saves Someone's Life!

Posted December 29, 2010

I’ve been struggling with something rather difficult lately. Although, I am a bit of an open book on my blog, there are still areas of my life that I wish to keep guarded. After some serious soul searching, I decided that you need to know something that I hope wakes you up and drives you … continue reading »

Think Before You Post

Posted December 29, 2010

I’m seeing more and more people do things that make me wonder if they are taking a moment to think before they create. Case(s) in point, I’ve watched videos of people trying to create a professional brand and yet they are doing the video in their sweats. Now granted, they were dressy sweats, but it … continue reading »

A New Year With The "Old" You!

Posted December 28, 2010

Did you ever have something that you so totally loved to do, but for whatever reason you ditched it and then spent the bulk of your life wanting to get back to it? For me, it was taking guitar lessons from someone who made a huge impact on my playing. In August, I found my … continue reading »

The Fine Art Of Inclusion

Posted December 28, 2010

Many years ago, when I (as Billy Joel once said) wore a younger man’s clothes, I would visit my client “Lucille”. “Lucille” was the Purchasing agent at a small company located just a few minutes away from my office. And speaking of office, Lucille’s office was rather small and she shared it with a woman … continue reading »

And Now The Challenging Part . . .

Posted December 26, 2010

The passing of time is an odd thing. The events we look forward to seem to take forever to arrive, and then, in an instant, we are looking at them in the rearview mirror in the form of a memory. I guess that remark has been inspired by this whole day after Christmas “damn that … continue reading »

The Last Christmas "Gift"

Posted December 22, 2010

Tucked away in a safe place within the walls of my heart, is a vision of my Father, Christmas Eve some 23 years ago. I can vividly see the look upon his face because it was a look that transcended all expression. It was beyond gratitude or joy and it was as if he were … continue reading »
