Do you set goals? You should, and they should be in writing. If you have set goals, you should revisit them often to see where you are on the road to achieving them. Writing goals and not reviewing them will negatively affect your chance to reach them. It is important to write down your goals. I currently am outlining my goals because June is the fiscal year end fo...

What are you doing right now? Are you focusing on reading these words? Do you have an eye on your email, texts, or social media? If you are working from home, are you dealing with your children? Or maybe you are doing some combination of these activities. Or are you on the phone? We all think we can multi-task and do it well, but the truth is we can’t. When you a...

For the majority of the past ten weeks, in person networking hasn’t existed. It remains critically important for all of us, whether we are lucky enough to be able to work from home or are unemployed. Many people I speak with have not networked or conducted business development activities since offices closed and stay at home orders went into effect. Doing nothing...

During this social distancing and quarantine limbo we currently find ourselves in, I have found myself taking time to think about my career, the road to where I am, and the road forward. Through doing so, I had some random thoughts on building a sustaining career. I wish someone had told me some of these earlier in my career. But through trial and error, along with...

Are you the workaholic each of us knows? You know the one. They check their email from the time they wake up, to when they are at lunch with you (please remember this is rude when we are able to dine together again), to when they go to sleep.

You may walk around your neighborhood and get to wave to y...

We currently are living in strange and different times. Businesses, cities, and countries are shut down. People are isolated. There is no traffic. The air feels like it is cleaner. And people are exercising outdoors more than usual. Despite businesses being closed, or their employees working remotely, the time to network is now. Networking is about connecting. Conn...

If you are lucky enough to still have a job or business, has the manner in which you work changed during the pandemic? You likely are working remotely, as are many of your co-workers, friends and family, including many who haven’t done so before. When you think about this, it’s pretty amazing how fast companies adapted to be able to have most, if not th...

You probably saw the title and thought “what is he writing about?” It could about the great Talking Heads song of the same name, but it’s not. It’s about living in circumstances that changed on a dime forcing most to work from home, and many to lose their livelihood. It obviously isn’t the equivalent of really being a soldier at war, b...
