The Christmas Story: Does It Still Matter?

Alain — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:06:19 +0000

All these and more are part of North American Christmas. But what about the first Christmas? Why is the original story—the baby in a manger, shepherds, wise [...]

So, you have an idea. Do you grab a pen and a trusty notebook in your pocket or purse or do you fire up your tablet or computer? I am a notetaker, I am always taking note about ideas, things to do, projects to map out, errands to run on the way home for my [...]

Content Sells!

Alain — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 02:24:50 +0000

The greatest risk to any business is that no customers will show up, the issue is the mentality that customers are going to drop out of the sky just because you’re so cool. Maybe marketing feels weird. Maybe selling feels impossible. (Trust me, I have been there.) Maybe you’re making excuses for not pushing out [...]

Bring on the learning revolution.

Alain — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 19:51:45 +0000

There is a crisis in the human resources climate, as critical as the climate crisis. Talents and passionate people are being wasted, positions are filled with people that do not like them. It is time to change or simply allow change to happen. Our current thinking and education system is failing. Here is a video [...]

Post-Traumatic Growth, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

Alain — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 18:50:11 +0000

After the March 11, 2004,train bombing in Madrid, psychologists found many residents experienced positive psychological growth. So too do the majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer. What king of positive growth?

This is a great presentation by Salman Khan, from Ted Talk 2011. In this video he talks about k-12 education but I believe what he is [...]

Don’t let the mosquitoes ruin the Big Game Hunt

Alain — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 20:01:18 +0000

Finally, I have learned to become happy with "good enough". I don't know about you but I have so many articles or projects sitting in file boxes or folders because I was waiting for the time when I could "finish it" or "make it better".
