Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Comparing what we want (expect) to happen and what actually happens.
Comparing what happens to others (the good stuff) to what happens to us.
Comparing our past memories of our world to the world we see today with all our adult responsibilities.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
Found this article by Alaina Love from The Purpose Link, sharing her Business Week article: “You Can Lead. But Can You Inspire?”
Click here to read about the ten attributes senior managers need to lead their organizations through the recession and the demoralizing consequences on their workforce.
You see it and hear it every day. In the world news and in the hallways of your own organization. There are demoralizing consequences from this brutal recession.
We are way past managing in today’s world. You know it and I know it. The antidote is inspiration.
Which leads us back to the original question, “Is there a doctor in the house?”
How does a person or an organization become world class, and stay world class? Here are four tips to do just that. First, however we need to state the obvious:
It’s a double edge sword isn’t it? If consistency is the hallmark or quality, and continuous improvement is the key to becoming (and sustaining) world class status, how do you balance risk and reward?
Let’s use this example from yesterday.
As a professional speaker, there are several goals for every presentation:
Let’s review from a different angle, what you just read:
The second set of bullet points states the common sense theories that we all nod our heads in agreement when we hear them.
The first set illustrates how I internalized these common sense things to make them work for my particular role in the business world.
Now it’s your turn. Take the four common sense bullet points and make them your own. Tomorrow, I’ll share how practicing what I preach led to an amazing result.
You don’t have to any of this. And maybe that’s a leader’s biggest challenge, doing what’s easier rather than what’s harder. So here’s a fifth tip – being world class means out working your competition. Most people hate to admit this. And then they wonder why they aren’t world class.
A few days ago, I promised to write more about the phrase, “the stone cold truth“. Here’s a start.
It’s a rarely used asset in much of the corporate world. Why?
Because most of us are trained to be nice to people. When we actually hear the truth, we often don’t feel good about. Why?
I think it’s because we don’t get it enough and therefore it surprises us so much, that it actually hurts. Blind spots are called that because of the key word, blind – can’t see it.
The next post is just a small taste of what I’m scratching the surface on. Happy Tuesday, jeff noel
