A few weeks ago, I made my way to The Governor’s Cigar Lounge for our monthly gathering—whisky, cigars, and deep conversations with a couple of close friends. This tradition has become one of my favorite times of the month, a chance to connect over family, careers, aspirations, and to encourage each other’s growth. However, this […]
In a world that often feels increasingly fragmented, I’ve been thinking about a simple, yet profound truth: we’re all marginalized, albeit in vastly different ways and to varying degrees. Every day, our news feeds are inundated with stories of division and the targeting of various communities and individuals. Aside from the blatant conscious choices, a […]
I hope 2024 is off to a great start for you professionally and personally. Lots has been taking place with me as I facilitate learning opportunities for new Cialdini Certified Coaches. I’ve also been working on an in-depth sales course for the Cialdini Institute. More on that to come. Suffice it to say, life and […]
Today, as I celebrate my 60th birthday, I find myself reflecting on the experiences and life lessons that have shaped my journey thus far. It feels like just yesterday I was a young man and now, here I am, embarking on my 61st orbit around the sun. Reflecting on the past, particularly the fun memories […]
A Celebration! Would you like to see Dr. Robert Cialdini live? Here’s your chance…so don’t blow it because you’ll regret it!

Ever stop to think about how a simple greeting can reveal so much? I found myself thinking about this during a casual exchange at my local cigar shop, a place you’ll often find me working these days. A regular strolled in, and our conversation kicked off with the typical, “How are you doing?” His response, […]
Have you ever caught yourself doing something that, upon reflection, seemed a bit out of the ordinary? Maybe you’ve made a purchase just because it was the last item on the shelf, or perhaps you started saving more for retirement without fully understanding why. Well, you’re not alone, and there’s a fascinating explanation behind these […]
Last week was a bit surreal as I had a homecoming of sorts. I spent the bulk of my insurance career, 28 and a half years, with State Auto Insurance (a Liberty Mutual company since 2021). After nearly four years with The Travelers, I walked into State Auto in May 1990. The final time I […]
Last week, while at home juggling several work tasks, I noticed my MacBook Pro prompting me to run an overdue update. Pausing my work, I initiated the update. This moment of maintenance sparked a thought about my other computer, a MacBook Air, stationed in my video studio for live presentations. Suspecting it needed the same […]
