I am proud enough to admit I sometimes “connect” in an emotional intelligent way with those I meet in business. It’s sporadic and not an all-the-time obligatory rule. We might bond over a topic, say gardening, or our shared marketing commitment to clients as coaches, or our firm adherence to serious, quality discussion/networking. Not “promiscuous linking” as I call it that so many others do, collecting people they do not know or ever intend to nurture....

Blogger’s note: Will Ferry, my guest blogger today, is a former client, who then became a friend, and now a frequent conversation partner, whom I have watched evolve into a coach in the 3 years I have known him. But not just any coach, one who is caring, urbane, really smart, and compassionate, a rare combination. I know many of you reading here will enjoy his POV! ...

I attended an in-person talk by Seth Godin at a local library as part of its business intelligence series. Intelligence, indeed! In 20 minutes of prepared comments, he sprinkled wisdom like raindrops. Then in 40 minutes audience Q&A, he addressed the dramatic and furious rate of change in our economy with some gold nuggets about entrepreneurship. Notably, it was to pump his recent book, “...

I recorded a podcast with a colleague, at her invitation. No rules were laid out. No advance advisory, no agenda on either part, and at the end of the recording, I thought it came out pretty well. It will be posted on her blog in a few weeks, she advised. And then the waiting. No word. I messaged her on LinkedIn a couple of times, inquiring politely, so I could pump it ahead, upon publication, and after too....

I collect picturesque word groupings that are meaningful in imagery as well as in practice. The title is one. “Makes my brain itch” is another, that I wrote about a few weeks ago. When I heard the scaffolding phrase, it made me itch to write this. Be your own scaffolding, on many levels: Able to support yourself during your “renovation,” as in your change of position, company, industry, lifestyle, financially, emotionally, and professionally....

Recently I’ve received recurring recognizable reaches to render me reports, rewards, reviews, recognition, resources: un-requested, un-required. Repetitious! Rattled, I rage, remove, and refer to my recycling bin. Resolved, right? Wrong. Reappearing, reaching out to reconcile why I resisted or reneged to respond. Reoffering, repeating, then re-removed. I resolutely resist. Rinse, repeat. They rebound and resurface. I reconcile to rebel, writing this: …...

Call me vulnerable. Because I am. I will call you vulnerable too. It’s clear to me that somehow, in some way(s), we all display being vulnerable, all the time or some of the time. My spouse has always called single friends and relatives to check that they arrived home safe and sound. The recipients tell her they appreciate this. But, in a new twist, some men are calling each other to say, “good night,” in a good old-fashioned phone call, as documented in…...

A quote on NPR this morning from a student at a two-year technical college in Texas preparing for his career in factory maintenance, highly technical and manual work. The undercurrent of the story is that most college students use screens to do their work, and the loss of hands-on repair and adjustments in an industrial setting has led to the demand to surge and the supply cannot keep up....

I am back from a 17-day self-imposed social media withdrawal (with some selected self-assigned exceptions) and hereby enter the LinkedIn rumble once again. It was refreshing and stimulating to "get out of town," way out of town--to tour the idyllic countries of Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, and Bosnia--to celebrate 2 big work anniversaries (25 years an entrepreneur, of which 15 years as a LinkedIn coach) and several weeks back's big birthday (IYKYN) and to boldly return to post-COVID international travel....

Tomorrow being April 1st, and folks, this is NOT an April Fool's joke, I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a break from blogging and a lot of the usual verve I bring you, temporarily, until mid-May. As you know, for the past 2 weeks I have been borrowing "oldies but goodies" from past years' posts and repurposing them here....

Blogger's note: today and for the rest of this week, I will reprise some of my previous (dare I say classic?) blogposts. With exactly 2834 of them now, if I may say so, I believe I can repeat myself repeat myself once, or twice. Plucked from August 26, 2014, yes a while ago but still relevant, I posted "Busy-ness in Your Business on LinkedIn," in which I gave you entrepreneurs ideas to keep your image fresh with posts of what you are working on, accomplished recently, and the like....
