No article this week…just a great opportunity you won’t want to miss out on! Spring is a time for new things to pop up and grow. This spring something new sprang up besides blooming flowers. The Cialdini Institute came into existence. Robert Cialdini is known as “The Godfather of Influence” for good reason – he’s […]
Last Thursday, I posted an old podcast episode I’d recorded with Kwame Christian on his show, Negotiate Anything (the #1 negotiation podcast in the world!). He said something that became the inspiration for this article. Friendship and Commonality I’ve known Kwame for many years, and we’ve become good friends. Our friendship includes a passion for […]
The following is the transcript from a live podcast episode I did for Andrea Pass on her show Access Success. If you want to sign up for her upcoming live shows, click here. Thank you very much and welcome, everybody. I’m excited to share a little bit with you. As Andrea indicated, my area of […]
In November 2019, I was selected to speak at the TEDx New Albany event. Giving a TED Talk was something I’d aspired to for nearly a decade, so I was elated to finally have an opportunity! After hundreds of hours of practice, I felt like a racehorse in the gate waiting for the Kentucky Derby […]
I meant to start my weekly blog post late last week but here I am, Monday morning and I’m just getting started. The irony is, I’m writing about procrastination. In my defense, I’ve been busier than normal. I was in Denver last week for work, then Jane’s birthday was this weekend. However, the bigger issue […]
Several weeks ago, I wrote an article on The Ethics of ChatGPT. I questioned whether or not it would be ethical for someone to use the tool to write an article and then take credit for it.

Jane wants to get a new car. Although she has a very nice car, she wants an SUV. That’s because she used to drive an SUV and loved it. She enjoyed the convenience of getting her golf clubs out of it as well as the ability to load it up with flowers, mulch, and other […]
I usually write about ways you can ethically influence people. That is, how you can pre-suade and persuade others. However, sometimes I’m the one I need to influence. I think you’ll find that sometimes you’re the person you need to influence too. Recently, I had coffee with a friend who was also a former coworker. […]
Have you ever encountered situations that were funny, but only because they were actually sad? This happens far too often when it comes to customer service. That’s unfortunate because the person you’re talking with is representative of the whole company. Most people have a tendency, right or wrong, to project the individual they’re interacting with […]
Just over a week ago LSU beat Iowa to win the Women’s NCAA basketball Championship. The storyline, rather than being about the first basketball championship for LSU (women or men), was all about a hand gesture LSU’s Angel Reese made to Iowa star Caitlin Clark. For the record, Caitlin used the same gesture many times […]
