My New Project

0 Spot It!

A few months ago I said in this space that I had been working on some other projects and needed to take a break from posting here. As many of you know I divide my time between IT consulting for small businesses (primarily non-profits) and the management coaching/writing work that I talk about here. Non-profit organizations have big challenges with IT support, and there are few resources available to help them get the job done. So in addition to working with my own clients I have launched a blog on my consulting website to answer questions and provide resources. Check it out, pass it on to your friends, and feel free to ask questions if you have them!

I will be back to posting both here and there in the new year. Wishing all of you health and success in 2011!

Taking a Break
As some of you have noticed, there hasn’t been much that’s new these days around here. I’ve got several other projects going on and haven’t been focused on writing new content for this space. Rather than dropping the occasional post, I thought I would officially take a break for a bit. Of course if I come across something interesting that I think you all would like, I’ll drop it here and I am still happy to hear from you by email or in the comments. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope what you find here is useful, even if it’s not new

The Secret to Success
Everyone wants to be successful right? Or more accurately, no one wants to fail. But how can you find success in your life, your job, or anywhere else? The answer is simple. Love what you do. There’s nothing that will make you better than doing what you love and pursuing it with all your heart. I was reminded of this over the weekend after I learned that George N. Parks, the longtime director of the UMass Minuteman Marching Band had passed away suddenly. While most of you probably don’t know of him at all, those of us who attended UMass saw him every week in the fall standing in front of thousands

10,000 Ways to be Wrong
“I haven’t failed, I’ve found 10,000 ways that don’t work.” ~Thomas Edison What he didn’t say is how long it took him to get through those 10,000 wrong answers. Being wrong (or finding a way that doesn’t work) isn’t a problem in and of itself. The problem is when you’re wrong and you can’t move on to the next possible solution. Sure it’s easier to wait and see, and to hope that a problem will resolve itself on its own rather than to take action, but doing nothing is just as bad as doing the wrong thing. In some cases its worse

Compromise…
Last week I was out scouring the internet looking for the exact words (and source) of the quote about a good compromise making everyone unhappy. Not only did I find multiple versions and sources of it, but I found something else that interested me even more. Depending on who you ask, compromise is either the key to a successful negotiation or the worst thing in the world. There seems to be no middle ground. Why the disparity, you ask? I wondered the same thing. Basically it comes down to two points of view. On one side of the fence are the people (most notable engineers and entrepreneurs

Is a College Degree the Right Credential for Business?
As a manager I spent a fair amount of time hiring and training entry level candidates. In the tech world we are not as picky about college degrees as in some other industries because technical skills can be acquired through training programs and certifications. But soft skills such as an understanding of business, communication skills, etc are harder to see on a resume. So where do candidates acquire those skills and how do they demonstrate them to potential employers? The great higher education PR machine would like you and I to believe that the best place to acquire those skills is through

Great Review of Survive Your Promotion!
Midwest Book Review has released their review of the book – you can check it out here or on Amazon’s listing for the book itself. Here’s what they said: A new job comes with a higher paycheck, but there’s also more stress for your buck. “Survive Your Promotion!: The 90 Day Success Plan for New Managers” is a guide for those who have attained new careers and want to succeed at them rather than be quickly used up and spit back out by the harsh difficulties of management. Time management, strategies to motivate others, Katy Tynan gives readers a fine list of
