I don’t know about you, but I feel like I have been running 100 miles an hour since the beginning of the year and here it is, already May!

In fact, people are working longer days and ...

The Ultimate Lottery!
Today you are the winner in the ultimate lottery. No, this particular lottery I’m writing about won’t award you a 2012 shiny new luxury car or a round trip for two to Paris. But today you’ve won, and you definitely can go places with your prize. “But what have I won?” you wonder. Today you are the proud holder of 24 shiny new hours, or 1,440 marv...

Work/Life Balance, Who says!

Work/Life Balance, Who says!
We’ve all heard it 100 times or we have all wanted it – work and personal life balance. We all know it does not exist. It is never balanced. I heard an executive say it best a few weeks ago at an event we were hosting: today, it is about work/life integration! A small shift in words will make a huge shift in our thinking and how we approach our...

Executive Assistants Unsubscribe Your Executives!
I just got off the telephone with an executive assistant and we were discussing ways she is trying to cut down on the volume of incoming mail to her CEO. One area she focused on were publications, magazines, advertising, non-pertinent newsletters or e-zines, marketing information, etc. The prior executive assistants told her to just delete those ...
