Nine Questions to Ask Your Boss

Occasionally, I post what I think is relevant, but not necessarily business content.  For a variety of reasons, I thought this one was timely.

Here’s a Career Builder article I just received from Earthlink.

Nine questions to ask your boss.

Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will?  If not today, when?

Is Personal Branding Simple?

Is Personal Branding simple?

Survey says……..drum roll please…….

Yes. Absolutely.  Simple.

But there’s a catch. While it is simple, it’s definitely not easy.

Fact is, in my opinion, nothing is easy.  There are a few exceptions, but they revolve around unproductive things.

Understanding that delivering excellence is hard work is one of the critical success factors I discovered very early in my professional career.  And I’ve seen it consistently demonstrated and validated during my entire 25 years as a Central Florida business professional.

I’m including an article on personal branding, from my monthly Earthlink e-newsletter.

Enjoy and happy branding.  Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂

Happy Birthday to jungle jeff noel

Happy birthday to me.

“How old are you”?, people ask.  “How old do you think I am”?, I ask back.

The answer is I can’t tell you.  You won’t believe me.

Huh?

Exactly.

Many people thought Walt Disney was crazy.  I’m just a chip off the old block.

People thought he was crazy because he dreamt dreams that seemed impossible.  He questioned things, and many were uncomfortable with that.

He was rarely satisfied.  He was always pushing himself and others to think of the next great thing – something that hadn’t been thought of before.

As I reach this milestone today, I consciously give myself more permission to be a crazy man, in the same spirit as Walt Disney.

Anyway, just wanted to wish all you readers a very Happy Birthday, whenever your special day arrives.

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.  And if your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Explaining the Impact of Twitter, Friendfeed and Social Media 2.0

Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor, used Twitter to announce the birth of his son yesterday.

Lance Armstrong gets it.  I get it.  Question is, “What about everyone else who’s focused on excellence”? Having said that, now may I challenge you to click the next link?

Explaining Social Media slide show.  It’s only 37 slides from Slide Share

This is one of the best, and most provocative insights to web 2.0

I ask myself at the end of everyday, “Did I give it my all, and leave nothing on the track“?

Disney & Hurricane Season

Hurricane season and Disney.  What does this mean?

Hurricane season starts today, June 1.

It also means hurricanes are most likely two months away.

We have already been thinking ahead.  That is what great organizations and great leaders do.  They think ahead.

Because this is such a simple concept to grasp, many overlook it when faced with more urgent tasks, like getting through the business day in these turbulent times.

But the reality of hurricanes never goes away, no matter how busy or how distracted we become.

Same with other important and simple concepts, like our health, as a relevant example.

Diet and exercise right?

Those two simple concepts will keep your cholesterol and blood pressure in better shape than if you don’t focus on them.  Right?

Then why do so many of us struggle to stay healthy?

The health of an organization is two simple things as well:  Culture and Leadership.

What are you doing to stay healthy?
