The Personal Strength of Compassion - "Pay It Forward" Will Break My Heart Again

Building Personal Strength

I love movies, and I have a DVD collection of favorites. I invest in a DVD when I love a movie so much that I know I'll want to watch it again at least three times in the future. It's been five years, so tonight I'm watching "Pay It Forward" with Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osmont. For the fourth time. I'll watch this one alone. My wife Kathleen says she can't watch it because it breaks her heart.

Bigger Questions and Bigger Games Lead to Changes…

Anese Cavanaugh

For someone, with a high value in connection and quality, I only work with a small number of people privately at a time. I do this in order to give my clients the amount of TLC, time and energy I feel good about, to take care of my own psychic and physical energy, and to leave room for the other things I love to do in my life. I also love working with small groups and teams and speaking to larger groups as I love the energy, connection and learning that takes place in community.

The Personal Strength of Thoroughness - The Devil Is in the Details

Building Personal Strength

Every now and then, while reading a book, I’ll come across a typo. It’s a rare thing, so I suppose I should give the publishers credit for attention to detail. Also, typos are relatively trivial compared to the content of the book. And I don’t claim to be the world’s greatest proofreader. Far from it. Still, it’s a big turn-off whenever I see a grammatical error or a misspelled word.

No Ego: How Leaders Can Cut the Cost of Drama, End Entitlement and Drive Big Results

Speaker: Cy Wakeman, M.S., CSP, President, Reality-Based Leadership

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

Evan Lysacek - A Good Affirmation and a Gold Medal

American Evan Lysacek edged Russian Evgeni Plushenko for the Olympic gold medal in men's figure skating. Woo-hoo!

In the AP article by Nancy Armour, he said he struggled during his preparations for the Olympics, but he had to put that behind him somehow.
