Big picture or small snapshot – problem solving
Which way do you want to look at it? Do you want to see the big picture or do you want to see a small snapshot? You have to know that before you begin to solve the problem. More importantly, did you have to communicate that to your team. That way you will all be…
Have a choice? Better make it count.
In truth, we can’t know how one small act today might impact every day for the rest of our lives. But it does, somehow. We won’t know until we have the wisdom of hindsight, but a yes or no, a right or left, a stay or go – they all shape and form the rest…

This man, this actor who has reached every height of his career, still wants something else. I believe he started out as a Music person and then…
Mistakes and opportunities
Here I was at last full moon taking pictures with my trusty Nikon. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get situated in a way that my little tripod could get a picture of the moon without the cable in front of it. How frustrating, right? But then I got this picture. And I saw it. A perfect representation…

“Hello! Can Anybody Hear Me?” and other voice issues
I talked before about finding your voice in the written word and will explore that further in the future. Today, I want to speak about audio. Audio is ubiquitous with more and more people starting podcasts, posting live videos, and presenting live in meetings and during the course of their lives. As we develop our…
