Good Things Come to Those Who Wait…and Back Off from Time to Time
Consider the number of times that any of us is given unsolicited advice, “helpful” opinions, or other ideas that we didn’t ask for, didn’t want, and quite frankly, aren’t always so useful and helpful in the first place. Irritating, isn’t it? Unfortunately, this type of scenario happens all the time in the workplace.

The Four Agreements at Work: An Inside Job
In his book The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz distills the essence of Toltec wisdom into four principles for living a life of value: 1. Be impeccable with your word. 2.

Entrepreneurial Lessons: What Does your Customer Want?
You know the big question, "What does the customer want?" The answer that is finding its way into the marketplace is that customers want emotional satisfaction. It seems that the "stuff" no matter how bold the packaging, is simply not enough. Customers want to be heard, respected, and included. And they want to be connected to their product through the heart. Kevin Roberts knows this. He is the CEO Worldwide of Saatchi and Saatchi, a renowned advertising agency. He knows that the best objective scientifically led research into customer satisfaction will miss the mark unless the emotional aspects of customer needs go unmet. I have been honored to have Kevin endorse my book "Don't Bring it to Work", where I tackle the emotional realm of work relationships. You can catch him on a HSM webinar on Friday, September 18.
