Yeah! It’s almost time for that most wonderful of US holidays – Thanksgiving. Technically we’re supposed to be remembering the pilgrims sitting down with the Native-Americans and breaking pumpkin pie together. But what we focus on, at least in my family, is stuffing. Oh yeah … and turkey, gravy, side dishes galore, our favorite salad [...]

Allow me to digress from business for the moment to share some reading/listening I’ve been doing lately. Byron Katie’s “Loving What Is” audio book from Audible. (Love those guys – it’s $7 for 7 full hours of the book, read by Katie, plus a lot of additional material.)
So .. here’s the thing. Long ago and [...]

A few weeks ago, at the ICF conference in Long Beach CA, I had the pleasure of hanging with Linda Puig of Claire Communications. Linda always has good, break out of the box ideas. This year was no different.
Linda eschewed her usual booth in the vendor/trade show area, and instead had a set of long [...]

OK, ask yourself seriously for a moment. Was 2007 everything you’d hoped it would be? Did you get all the clients you dreamt of? Did you get media hits galore?
I have to say 2007 has been a banner year for me – BUT only because I’d already put some critical pieces in place as the [...]

OK, this is scary. While I was away last month, I got a email touting a new book by Ken Blanchard, Stephen Covey and a third author – a woman who was an unknown. It came with an email inviting me to take that third author position myself.

This just in from my man in podcasting, Tim Gonzo Gordon … (thanks Tim!) We’ve been talking about how best to load our new Serenity Hawkfire podcast onto my Serenity Hawkfire blog. (For those who don’t know, she is my New Age guru parody character.)
We’ve run into an interesting snag as my podcast is hosted [...]

At the informational/inspirational firehose that is the annual ICF conference, that’s where. The International Coach Federation were kind enough to invite me on as their pre-conference speaker this year … and whew! It was a whirlwind. Boy, did I have fun!
And not just because I got to lounge poolside in sunny Southern California. I was [...]

OK, maybe it was just a little too much American Idol … I know, I know. It was an addiction, really. Or maybe is was my 13 year old son turning to me one day and saying, “Mom, let’s get rid of the TV … it’s boring.” But last month, we cut the cord. We [...]

Last week I ran a tip in my Expert Status ezine on how to make your podcast sound like it was recorded live, but was done over the phone. Here’s a much more official and potentially less expensive way to do it (long term.)
My podcast guru and former DJ, Tim ‘Gonzo’ Gordon, suggested the following. [...]

Just got back from dropping by AskVille Beta – a new fun site from Amazon.com. It makes me wonder just what the promo building possibilities are here … as anyone who has any kind of question can post it here. And get replies from the community. Some questions have hundreds of answers. And when you [...]
