Share Look Past the Cover and Turn the Pages If you want to know someone then know where they’ve been, what they’ve seen and what they’ve experienced.

Share Relationships 101 Today’s post is not so much a personal development piece as it is me thinking out loud. As I do. If anything, I’d probably call it an opinion piece. That is, a few thoughts based on my observations, interactions and personal experiences. Which could be a dangerous thing to share. Naturally, some [...]
Share Great With Words, Not So Good With People Have you noticed how some people are great at speaking but not so good at communicating? That is, they seem to have an adequate vocabulary and more-than-adequate speaking skills but for some reason (or reasons) they just don’t communicate effectively with others. They talk a lot [...]
Share Ever feel like you’re all of the above? Me too. Welcome to the club. It’s bigger than you might think.

Share Once Upon a Time… Once upon a time here at me-dot-com we had a weekly cyber-get-together where some of my readers would walk up to the front of our cyber-classroom and share some of their wisdom, ideas, insight and theories on life and the complexities that lie therein. That is, they would teach the [...]
Share Hi Guys. If you came in search of a point-form how-to-fix-your-life (type) post, you might want to come back tomorrow. This morning, I had an interesting chat with a friend about trust. I shared the following story with him and as the words were coming out of my mouth, I thought they might make [...]
Share Hi Guys. Yesterday I received a great email from a bloke named Cam. Among other things, Cam thanked me for being his unreasonable friend. You’re welcome Cam. Unreasonable friend? Dude, Your Breath Stinks I immediately loved that term. Cam shared with me that “an unreasonable friend is someone who will tell you that your breath [...]
Share A Seven Out of Ten Way back in the early nineties, I gave a presentation at a conference for a large company. For me, it was a relatively straight-forward gig of the health-fitness-motivation variety. Up to that point in time, it was one of the largest audiences I had spoken to – about five [...]
