The Blog Whisperer Is Continuously Experimenting With Blogging

Gathering knowledge through study and experimentation has a goal. Most don’t know the bigger picture.

Far too often in organizations, leaders toss aside the very reason they are there, their higher purpose. In it’s place is the boring mediocrity of going through the motions.

3 Things My Friend Looks For

He’s also an expert at Time Management…

He looks for 3 things. Skill, attitude and passion.

Five miles from the nearest paved road, we set out in the pitch dark…

If you just came from jeff noel.org, you saw the insight on suffering. Saturday night, we were scared. On a weekend Cub Scout camping trip, we went for an hour hike, in the (4,700-acre Forever) Florida wilderness.

Thirty minutes out. Thirty minutes back. In the pitch dark. No flash lights. No moon. Just dark.
