- A Little Old School for LinkedIn Users
When I graduated business school and entered the workforce for the first time I was fortunate to have chosen an opportunity that got me the coaching and mentorship every young professional needs. My boss, mentor and today friend, Dan, taught me a lot of things, from effective business writing to how to order in a French restaurant to his incredible thought process. But the number one lesson he drilled into me echoed what my father always taught us growing up: your credibility is everything.
- What Do You Think?
In the last two decades of my professional career we have had three recessions, one depression (current), one oil crisis, one oil disaster, a slew of natural disasters from Katrina to the Asian tsunami to multiple earthquakes, the fall of the Soviet Union, an internet boom (and bust), a real estate boom (and bust), two Wall Street crisis of confidence, 9-11, three major wars, a new Pope and the third impeachment of a US President in history. Throughout these events we have scrutinized many things about our global system of commerce, but one area has not come under much scrutiny..
- The Missing Element Of Success: Taking Care of Your Body
The past few weeks I have been putting together the contents for a blog on the importance of personal training and why its imperative for leaders, managers, professionals and individuals young and old to focus on their physical, nutritional and mental health. The basic message is you must incorporate taking care of your body into your day-to-day life. If you want to be successful at your profession and with your family then you have to workout and eat the right foods.
- The Battle For Talent
One of the challenges facing businesses of all sizes today is finding, developing and keeping the right talent. While unemployment is at record highs all over the world, and companies don't look to be adding great numbers of head count in the near future, one thing remains certain: good people are in high demand like never before. The challenge has always been how to find the right level of talent for your business.
- A Relationship Story - Our Legacy in the Stories People Tell: Guest Post
I was talking about my Great Grandfather the other night with my Dad. I know very little about the man that everyone in my extended family still raves about. "He was a great man" my cousin says every time I visit him in San Diego.
- LeBron, Cleveland and France's World Cup Team Lessons To Us All
A good friend and mentor of mine once said "Life's lessons are all around us. The trick is to recognize them, learn from them, and live from them!".

- Melody and Heather have left the building... and the country!
That was that. Our first visitors in our current digs have come and gone. The lovely Melody and Heather left early this morning to head back home to The Peg after a few days of fun, fun, fun.

Where's my kilt? Oh, right. Scotland.
- The Price is High
I am currently reading Anna Del Conte?s memoir Risotto with Nettles and was struck by a very poignant quote for me. She states,?
- Aberdonian Delicacies
A heart surgeon has stated that he wants to ban butter over here in order to save thousands of lives. This got me thinking to the types of Scottish fare that I had been introduced to so far in the past 3 months living in this country. Now, the Scottish relationship with alcohol is a different matter (there is going to be a rise in alcohol tax in Scotland in an effort to get Scots to drink less than they do) and I will probably write a different post about that.
- Resolutions
I know, I know, I hate resolutions. I am one of those people who goes ?NO ONE should make resolutions because no one ever keeps them!
- Whatever the Weather
I am finally blogging about the rain and snow and ice now. I was too pissed off to actually write about it when it was a giant life-stopping snow storm (read: a mild Canadian winter) and the whole world was shutting down around me. As soon as it started snowing, I was at work and I let out a cheer at the same time that everyone let out a loud groan.
- A Festivities Debrief
I really should be going to bed right now because I am so unbelievably exhausted, but I thought I should at least maintain the facade of keeping up with the new years resolutions. That being, writing in the blog more. So that is what I am doing.
- Explained Laziness
Sorry posting hasn't happened in a while--in amidst the new job and holidays (went to visit the fam in Sheffield--yay!) and trying to develop some sort of normal routine (which does not seem to be happening--and let's just now say that yoga and the gym has gone the way of the sunshine in Aberdeen--probably never to be seen again..
