A Sense of Workplace Belonging Work can—and should be—an opportunity to improve our happiness and satisfaction in life. Period. End of sentence. Duh. And yes, even if work is hard as there are true “hard parts” to workplace happiness but what’s happening in our work is just the opposite. Instead of adding to our happiness, most people … Read more
I should probably pay more attention to the symbolism around me more often. Today was my final day as someone able to claim being in their 40s. Over the past few weeks I’ve really enjoyed thinking about this milestone, where I’ve been and where I’m intending on going from here. More on the latter later, tater. (tater reference for @Fernie).

Will I be the wiener? So I applied to drive the WeinerMobile……why not? Here’s my cover letter. Dear Mr. and Mrs. Mayer: I finally mustard up the energy to put my feelings into words in the form of this application to be your next Hot Dogger. This is a big day for me, one I will … Read more
A client recently asked me if I offered team-buildings. Of course, I said yes because I do offer something that meets the label of team-building, but I don’t like the phrase.
In a previous blog I talked about a favorite place of mine, Bonefish Willy’s (Finding My Bonefish Willy’s) in Florida and other places from travels and former homes like Paradise Bay Resort on Oahu and Luncheria on St. Croix.
