The Makings of a Culinary Master: The Early Years of Wolfgang Puck
Wolfgang Puck’s signature catch phrase is: “Live, love, eat!” For the past 25 years, Puck has been experiencing the sweet taste of success by doing just that. He was ranked 89th on Forbes’ Top 100 Celebrities in 2006 and has created an empire worth almost $500 million, which includes everything from restaurants to catering to frozen foods to kitchenware. If this weren’t enough to establish Puck as an icon in the culinary world, he is also the host of his own weekly cooking show and has released several cookbooks.

Homeless But Not Hopeless: Millionaire Chris Gardner’s Early Years
Chris Gardner wears a $10,000 watch on each wrist. On the right hand is a Cartier set to Chicago time, and on the left is a Roger Dubuis set to South African time. “I was late once and it cost me $50,000,” explains Gardner. “I figure it was cheaper to wear two watches.” For a man who not too long ago had only two suits to his name and could not even afford to pay rent, Gardner has come a long way. From living on the streets and bathing in public restrooms to owning a successful multi-million dollar stock brokerage firm, Gardner is living out the American dream.

Team Building Rubbish
Taking your staff out to play mini golf, go-carting, to see a movie, or doing some obscure & embarrassing in-house training games is NOT going to create lasting team work, or a resilient work culture. Sure, these activities can be fun and help people to get to know each other, but they won't build a productive and stress-resilient business team. So, what will? ...

10 Lessons I Learned From My Mother

Marriage
As the 10th of 12 children, my older brothers and sisters obviously got here many years before I did. Two of my older brothers and two of my older sisters had failed marriages. Since I was at the bottom of the production chain, my younger brother and I had the benefit of what my mother had observed and taught us. She pointed out that we should never date a girl more than once or twice if we discovered we would be unwilling to have her as the mother of our children and be unwilling to take her wherever we were and introduce her with pride to anyone. I listened intently to what my mother had to say. I chose carefully.
Working Mom, Super Mom – Is There Really A Difference?
A working mother’s job never ends. She has two jobs, being a mother and being an employee making it difficult to be successful in either. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Square Peg Round Hole
In his wonderful book The Element, Sir Ken Robinson tells a story that I’m sure many people can relate to. In it, a young girl named Gillian is having trouble concentrating at school. The school – suspecting a learning disability – asks her mother to take 8-year-old Gillian to see a psychiatrist for evaluation. After hearing from the girl’s mother how the girl is always disturbing her classmates, her homework is sloppy and always late – the doctor asks to speak with Gillian alone. Before escorting the mother outside for a private conference, the doctor turns on the radio in the room to occupy Gillian. As soon as the music began to play, the girl was on her feet. From outside the room, Gillian’s mother observed for a few minutes as she moved beautifully to the music, dancing around the room, lost in a childlike trance.
Power Up with Extreme Self Care
I have always said that we spend an incredible amount of money on having our cars, houses and animals looked after, but when it comes to spending money on our own health issues ....that's a different matter. During my years of publishing magazines and being a single mother of two and sole provider, to boot, the last thing on my mind was to look after myself first. In some way I thought there was something "noble" about putting myself last. Believe me, there is nothing noble about it.
A Little Boy and His Empty Bag
I recently accompanied my mother on a routine medical appointment with her new physician. This morning appointment and the literal change was more out of necessity than choice since her physician of over twenty years finally threw in the towel and retired. While completing the enormous mounds of paperwork required by a new medical provider in today's contradictory electronic world, I noticed a young mother walk into the waiting area with two small children. The mother was probably in her early twenties and the children, one girl and one boy, looked to be four and three respectively. She was flanked on both sides by these extremely well kept and well behaved young children. The boy more noticeably was on her right hand and closest to me as they passed by in order to check in with the receptionist and eventually find a place to sit.

Holes in Labour's Health-By-Stealth Line
At my 5th birthday party, my mother served up jelly mixed with grated carrot. I clearly remember one of my cousins being aghast at this perversion of a sacred dessert. He viewed it as an attempt to poison us by stealth. I did not notice the carrot until it was pointed out to me, so it was probably a tactic my mother repeatedly used to great success.
