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. My conclusion was that writers should add a disclaimer: Written by ChatGPT. Written in conjunction with ChatGPT. Written […]
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 […]
I hope you’re more than a quarter of the way to meeting your professional and personal goals for 2023 and that your progress only accelerates in Q2. The first quarter was busy for me, a mix of personal and business travel with stops in Phoenix, Austin, Palm Springs, Pittsburgh, and Washington DC. It was great […]
When I was in high school I started lifting weights for football. My body took to it like a duck to water. Once I learned how to lift properly I put on more than 20 lbs in three months. Four years later I’d gone from a scrawny 150 lbs to 240 lbs! During college I […]
I have some exciting news to share with you! On April 18th, I will participate in the TEDx New Albany event. During my talk, I’ll introduce the audience, and hopefully the world, to the psychology of “pre-suasion.” Specifically, I’ll share how it can set the stage for success, happiness, and perhaps fulfilling your dreams. I was selected […]
