What’s so special about 5:15? Is it 15 minutes after you get off work, 15 minutes into a happy hour…you don’t want me to get up at 5:15 in the morning do you??? Actually, I was referring to a simple concept of 5 seconds or less and 15 seconds or more. It might just be […]
Because we are so close to Father’s Day, I thought it would be appropriate to do a little Daddy and Daughter story. This weekend, a very good friend of mine invited us for a day out on the Rappahannock, otherwise known as the “Rivah.” The day started like so many past beautiful Sundays. We arrived […]
Here are three easy steps that can save you a bunch of time and headache especially when your day starts to blow up. I was teaching a program on time management last week and there was a healthy debate about what is important to do each day vs. what is critical to do each day […]
I was speaking to a friend over the weekend. I asked the normal questions when you haven’t spoken with someone in a while. Questions like, how’s work and how’s your husband.

We chatted for about three hours on various topics including; business, defining success, influential films, habits of thinking, and even religion. […]
