Presidential List
I read an article recently that made a lot of sense to me. Doris Kearns Goodwin is a Pulitzer Prize winner for her books on history, and she made a list of ten points that are important for a President to consider and to emulate if they hoped to be great. She has written books about Abraham Lincoln and Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and she believes leadership strengths should be considered carefully before voting. Here are some of the attributes that she feels make for a great leader--and I agree!

Will Industry Learn from the Media’s Troubles?
"They [reporters] don't climb the stairs anymore, they don't understand the shoe-leather, they don't teach that in their high-class schools. "They are highly trained people who sit in their offices and write term papers. They won't sully themselves going to a greasy housing project or stand out in the rain for a few hours." – Jimmy Breslin, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist

TED: Finding Balance
Another TED presentation to share: I spent four days at the annual TED Convention (March 7-10) in Monterey, CA. It was an amazing collection of people, including President Bill Clinton, venture capitalist John Doerr, producer J.J. Abrams, singer Paul Simon, Nobel prize winner Murray Gell-Mann, NBA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and a whole slew of politicians, executives, investors, and celebrities.

How to Increase Sales Is By Keeping Head on the Challenge, Heart on Prize and Hands in Action
How many times in sales are we so focused on just the prize that we forget about the challenge or challenges preventing us from sales success? Knowing what the prize is that being an earned sale, is important. Yet, we must not forget to make sure that all of our actions are aligned both to that prize and challenge.

Insurance Sales Training
Zig Ziglar put it best. He said " You were born a winner. But to be a winner you must believe your a winner, prepare to win, and expect to win." I believe that every person that enters into the sales profession is already a winner. Stepping out of a comfort zone of a nine to five job to move into a career, comprised mostly of commission can be a scary proposition. The rewards however can be huge. The ROI in sales is unmatched in other profession.

Economic Reform Leaves America Unhappy
If you haven't seen "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio," you should. Normally, Hollywood preaches a predictable liberal sermon about greedy corporations, the evil military, mythical global warming, and the fantasy triumph of progressive ideas. But someone in Tinsel Town messed up with "Prize Winner"... this 2005 movie, starring Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson, is an outstanding metaphor for the real relationship between the government and the economy in today's America.

A Battle for the Mind
Almost every person is born with virtually unlimited potential in terms of their ability to develop. Not everyone can be (or wants to be) an elite athlete or a Nobel Prize winner, but almost anyone can mature to be the person that he or she wants to be. The problem is that, in many cases, this maturing is negatively impacted by our self-talk. And much self talk arises out of feedback we experience. Third Generation Leadership operates in a different mind space.

Writing and Publishing eBooks Made Easy #02 - The Creative Writing Process
Really, you don't have to go for the Pulitzer Prize, if you start writing. On the contrary! Try to write as you speak. Be clear, and come right to the point when you make a statement. Remember, it's not about HOW you write, it's about WHAT you have to say.

They Sure Make Oakland Look Like Paradise!
A few years ago my company sponsored a sales contest (back when companies were allowed to do business by selling things). It was a big deal. First prize was a week-long vacation in Hawaii. Second prize was a week in San Diego. Third prize was a week in Palm Springs. There was also a consolation prize for next-to-last place: a week in Oakland....
