Lessons from Gabrielle Giffords

  • February 2, 2012
  • General

I will cherish this memory.  A unanimous vote in the US Congress.  A rare thing of beauty it was, although the reason for it was heart wrenchingly sad.  Rep. Gabrielle Giffords submitted her last piece of legislation before resigning as a US representative of the state of Arizona.  Watching her complete this task, take her last vote, and submit… Read More

Accountability vs Responsibility

  • January 20, 2012

It happened again today.  Someone came to my door to do a little maintenance work, and his truck was parked in front of the fire hydrant.  I had to politely ask him to move his truck.  Luckily, this gentleman didn’t get rude or nasty.  He just turned around, looked at his truck, saw it was directly in front of… Read More

Ethics: Right vs. Easy

  • December 28, 2011
  • General

Ethical awareness is growing.  Can you feel it?  It’s in the air and it’s in the news.  Penn State, Congress, Wall Street and Countrywide have all been skewered for big ethical misconduct lately.  It’s gotten so bad that after ten minutes of watching the nightly news my blogs and e-zines are practically begging to write themselves.  Even in fiction… Read More

Motivation to Write

  • December 19, 2011
  • General

Somehow, I've gotten out of the discipline of writing and blogging weekly.  I don't really know how, except that a variety of events, tasks and activities got in my way and distracted me from the weekly grind of writing.  Writing a blog is really a simple thing, especially when I'm using… Read More

Honesty and Truth – Plain and Simple

  • July 2, 2011
  • General
I've just had an experience with feedback that has left me feeling defeated and wondering how in the world I can even dare to trust people.

 

After delivering a typical presentation I walked away feeling pretty good about it based on the interaction with the group, the types of questions asked, and the discussion that… Read More

Governing By The People

  • April 13, 2011
  • General

Ok, so I'm going way out on a limb to open a discussion about politics.  I normally steer clear of this because I don't want to start arguments, but enough is enough!  And besides, newsletter readers have been requesting me to take e-Factor!® to Washington or have the local politicians play the game.  There's hope that this might "straighten… Read More

It sure feels good!

It sure feels good...!

For the first time in quite a few years, I've finished all my accounting early and turned over all the information to my trusted Tax advisor.  Whew!  I hadn't realized how much of a relief it would be to get this done early!  Why is it… Read More

Witnessing History Unfold

  • February 15, 2011
  • General

 What an amazing couple of weeks we've lived through, wouldn't you agree?  For those of you who've stopped watching the news because it is so filled with hate and anger, I hope you broke your self-imposed exile to witness history unfolding in Egypt.  If not, you missed such a rare opportunity… Read More

What Were They Thinking??!

What Were They Thinking??!

First we heard about Captain Honors, commander of a Navy aircraft carrier, making a “raunchy video” to relieve the stress of combat for his crew.  Then we heard about the Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) drug scandal and… Read More
