Losing Sight of Your Special Features
Is it possible you have been working at your current place of business for so long you have lost focus on some of the special touches or features that a customer cares about? On a recent trip to Maui, I treated myself to a spa experience. Because there are so many to choose...
A Great Way to Spend an Extra Day
Leap day has a magic feel to it. As we all know, once every four years we add a day to our calendar as a corrective measure because the Earth doesn’t orbit the sun in precisely 365 days. Although many may see this as a chance for extra recess, for...
The Genius Marketing (and Curious Demise) of Jack Daniels
The Guest Family holiday vacation in 2019 landed us in Nashville. At the last minute, we decided to make the 60-mile trek to Lynchburg to tour the Jack Daniels Distillery.

A Little Bling Goes a Long Way
Every now and then, I hear from people who attended my keynote presentations. My favorite email this month? Laurie, we LOVED you Wednesday at our corporate event. Everyone is still talking about you and your awesome lessons. Thank you! Diane, Associate Manager Kind words never get old, do they? In...
Three Secrets Successful Event Hosts Need to Know
One of the recent events I spoke at ended with a standing ovation, that’s how good the five-minute speech was on a hot summer day in August. No, it wasn’t the speech I gave. It was the closing address presented by a former student at Colonial Intermediate Unit 20 in...
