Are You Inspired By Your Work? If Not You Are Wasting Your Time.
I truly believe that everything about how and why we work has changed. There is no reason to do anything you aren’t inspired to do, if you’re not inspired you are wasting your time and no amount of managerial motivation will change that. I’ve raved about Daniel Pink‘s new book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What [...]
Social Media Experience Is A Must Have For Marketing Jobs
In a recent client meeting the comment was made that they weren’t hiring anyone new unless they also had social media experience. Not that they were hiring only people to do social media but that they ALSO had to have social experience. So in addition to whatever marketing job they were being hired for they [...]
The Two Most Important Skills Of The New Leaders.
Silos beget compliance. Silos are getting in our way and so is compliance. Things are changing but it’s changing slower than many of us would like. In the meantime we’re left with porous organizations with the semblance of vertical structures (and the illusion of control). Consciously or subconsciously we do not like to give up power. As the [...]
Solving Problems vs Fixing Problems
As I was traveling to SXSW last night I was struck by a thought about most of the PR & Marketing industry: We fix problems. Solving a problem is what people do when they figure things out for the first time. When you solve a problem you create a solution. The next time you solve [...]
The Importance of Pondering
It’s very easy to get caught up in the rush of things. The fire hose of the real time web never stops. The importance of speed has never been more important. We are always on. And I for one see all of this as a good thing. Knowledge workers with a gift for seeing connections [...]
Learn to Multitask or Be Left Behind
I personally am sick and tired of people telling me that multitasking can not be done effectively. I’m especially sick of people saying that this hyper-connected world is making us all ADD. If they knew what they are saying they would be wishing that it really was. What is Multitasking? I would like to start [...]
The only thing you should be doing
I originally wrote this post several months ago and it’s taken me this long to remove the excess emotion and get it to a point I thought it was ready to post. I still don’t know if it’s ready but I feel it needs to be said. The only thing you should be doing I [...]

You can find a study that will support any theory I’ve long held that blogging and content aggregation make you smarter The study also points out being addicted to the Internet makes you less productive (dang it Facebook, YouTube at work [...]
The 2009 Recession Will Produce the Largest Wave of Entrepreneurship
This isn’t a recession, it’s a Revolution! I am proud to say that my generation; Generation X has been the largest entrepreneurial generation ever. That’s all about to change. In preparing for my IgniteBoise presentation my friend Steve Nipper sent this great NYT article over to me: Tired of Looking for Work, Some Create Their [...]
The burden of employment has shifted – It’s all on you now
Image via Wikipedia It’s amazing how quickly things changed at the end of 2008. Companies went from being worried about the “Baby Boomer brain drain” that was coming as Boomers retired and there weren’t enough Xers to fill the gap left by their physical presence and their on the job knowledge. Now companies aren’t concerned [...]
