Friday, January 2nd, 2009The challenges of holding down a full time gig while maintaining a professional presence are no small feat. In fact, in reality, it’s more like holding down two jobs, although one may not pay the same way the other does (if at all). Being a successful blogger requires time, creativity, and consistency. And if you’re [...]
Avoiding the Danger of New
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008So, in case you haven’t noticed yet, it’s the new year. I rang it in with a box of tissues and some zinc and vitamin c, fighting whatever illness I’ve somehow caught. So, at home the past two days, I’ve had some time to reflect between groggy pill swallowing and half-awake watching of the “Monk” [...]
LRS Classic: The Secret to Leadership
Friday, October 19th, 2007Tonight I shook this man’s hand. Let me say, hearing John Maxwell speak was truly an inspirational, life-changing experience. Every word he said felt like it was written just for me. And I’m sure I’m not the only one in the room who felt that way.

Chances are, I’ll finish this post later, while I’m watching the news or catching up with my sister or a friend on the [...]
LRS Classics: The Power of Now: What Sets Gen Y Apart
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007It seems like the more I read, the more I see people my age blogging about work, careers and how we’ll face the challenges and opportunities we know are coming. As a part of the conversation myself, I’ve been very interested in how workers in different generations view this topic of our generation. Today, over [...]
LRS Classics: Forget Multitasking (If You Can) – Five Tips for Getting Stuff Done
Monday, July 9th, 2007I just finished a great book called Getting Things Done, by David Allen. It was about more than time management – it focuses on really managing all you do rather than letting it control you. I’d definitely recommend it as a great read.
Though at this point in my career I can see how a lot [...]
