Lesson #5: Dogged Persistence Makes the Best Pitchman
Popeil was just sixteen years old when he began selling his father’s products on Chicago’s infamous Maxwell Street. His workday would start at 5 a.m., when he used to arrive at the market and spend one hour cutting and preparing fifty pounds each of onions, cabbages, and carrots, and more than one hundred pounds of potatoes each day. After that, Popeil would demonstrate and try to sell his products from 6 a.m. until 4 p.m. On average during his 11-hour work days, Popeil would bring in $500 on a daily basis.

Are You an Egomaniac? Ten Questions with Steven Smith
Steven Smith has spent the past ten years exploring how great leaders use ego differently than everyone else—how they work, think, collaborate, and who they are. The result of his work is a book he co-authored with David Marcum called egonomics: What Makes Ego Our Greatest Asset (or Most Expensive Liability). His work has been featured by The Dallas Morning News, The Arizona Republic, The Irish Times, Cincinnati Enquirer, and Le Figaro. The topic of this interview is one of paramount importance to anyone who wants to change the world: Ego. Too much? Too little? How much is just enough?

Goals Versus Resolutions
It’s mid February and I waited to present this topic to allow all of your New Year’s resolutions to die their natural death. Are you still exercising, how about that healthy diet, did you contact those long lost friends and relatives, have you become kinder and gentler? With all of that kicked to the curb we can focus on the real meat and potatoes of change-GOAL SETTING.

Father Hiran: Thankful for a Priest Who Changed Our Lives
It's thirty years since this Irish priest stood in front of 120 freshmen and spoke to us mixing English and Kikamba, our native language. He encouraged us to have vision, dress like gentlemen and participate in extra curriculum activities.

Is Personal and Business Coaching Alive in Ireland?
A common concern amongst Coaches in the current climate is the lack of data outlining whether or not people are looking for Coaching. If people are looking for Coaches; what type and where? Unfortunately, there is no empirical data to suggest whether or not the coaching industry is growing or if coaching is being embraced by the Irish public and businesses.
One Man And His Word
About five years ago, my father passed away. I still think about him almost every day, but especially this time of the year when his anniversary rolls around. He was well known and liked in the community where he lived with my mother in New Jersey. Fiercely proud of both his German and Irish ancestry, he always walked in the Annual West Orange St. Patrick’s Day Parade wearing a green tie and a German hunting hat. With my sister and brothers, I will sometimes reminisce about the small idiosyncrasies that made him our dad...
Your Past does not Equal your Future
Your future, along with your personal and professional goals, are not as fragile as you might think. Failure is often the fertilizer that makes future success blossom. Recently, I had this principle confirmed to me via nine Irishmen from the 19th Century. It seems that in 1848 as Ireland was attempting to break away from England, nine young Irish rebels were captured and sentenced to death. As they were brought before the queen for punishment, Queen Victoria could not bear to have them executed, so she sent them to England's prison colony in Australia.

Taking Exception To America
President Obama famously said he believed in American exceptionalism in the same way Brits believe in British exceptionalism, and the Irish believe in Irish exceptionalism, etc. Of course, if everyone's exceptional, no one is... which I think was the president's point. There's nothing special about you Americans! Sit down and shut up!...
Thermometer Manager or Thermostat Leader?
The late 19th century Irish playwright, critic, and social reformer, George Bernard Shaw, had a lot of useful things to say about personal effectiveness. A few of his comments have hung on my mirror or been posted in my day planner over the years. This one speaks to a core management-leadership choice we all have; "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends upon the unreasonable man."
