Embracing My Inner Rookie

April 4, 2012   Self-Development

This is me on our most recent ski trip. (If you’re reading this in email, click through to see the video.) It’s me, hitting a 5 ft jump. Though I barely leave the ground, I can assure you, it felt like I was in the air for a very long time. The hardest part? Doing [...]

 

My sister helps makes history!

April 2, 2012   Personal

There are benefits to being a big brother. For instance, sometimes, people in the family actually listen to me. Like my little sister, Jackie Seiden (IMDb), who clearly grabbed hold of my Fail Spectacularly! credo and helped bring it to new heights recently as part of Adam Sandler’s Jack & Jill… a movie that just [...]

 

Sorry, you’re not that special. (Says Daniel Crosby, PhD.)

April 1, 2012   Coaching & Consulting

Daniel Crosby. I like this guy. The presentation below is dead on. It’s a fun walk thru of the same principles that underpin How to Self-Destruct™, except I think he does it even better.

Time to Get Over Yourself.

March 24, 2012   Gen X & Gen Y

I don’t care where you went to school, roll up your sleeves and do the fucking work. You know where me and my Wharton and Kellogg degrees are all hanging out this weekend? We’re cutting and pasting screen shots from the web into a employer brand assessment Ajax is doing. You know why? Because this [...]

March 20, 2012   Practical Inspiration

Want to change the world? Ready for your big mission? Really? Think about how you react when someone asks you—or worse, tells you!—to change. Now imagine yourself saying “Go change!” to 7 billion people. Are you sure ready for their reactions? Change is big time stuff. No matter your mission, if you’re serious about creating [...]

 

To My “Failed Entrepreneur” Friend

March 18, 2012   Practical Inspiration

OK, I’m not going to use your name, but I trust you know who you are. We ran into each other recently and three times during our conversation you referred to yourself as a “failed entrepreneur.” Impossible. You may as well claim to be a chupacabra. That thing you say you are? It does not [...]

 

“Yes” Really Means “Yes, If…”

March 17, 2012   Self-Development

“Yes.” People don’t know what to do with this word. They think that when someone says “Yes,” it’s a done deal. It’s not. In business, when someone says “Yes,” they always mean, “Yes, if…” Even smart people who understand this concept intellectually still choke when confronted by “Yes.” Let’s assume you’re a digital strategist, and [...]
