2016 Hot Summer Reads

Summer is finally upon us and brings opportunities to do things that we don’t get to do the rest of the year. Things like reading a book at the beach; reading a book in a hammock; reading a book on a sunny deck. I’m feeling ready to soak up some rays and soak up some knowledge too! My #1 read has got to be #AskGaryVee. I’ll be honest, I’m in a bit of debate whether I’m purchasing the book or the audio book because I LOVE a good Gary rant!

Survival of the Fittest, not the Fastest

Pause for thought. It's a common saying. We talk about an idea or a happening that gives us 'pause for thought.' But how often do we really pause? How often do we take time to give ourselves the space we need to think through and idea, solve a problem, or daydream about nothing at all? Maybe it's my age, maybe it's a sign of the times, maybe I am just experiencing information overload. Whatever the reason, I know I am not alone.

Slow Meetings

Hmmm… Slow Meetings. What would that look like? There’s a movement afoot. It’s impacting people, workplaces, and families. Studies show we are distracted and disengaged.... 47% of the time. We are running at a frantic pace. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The slow movement first appeared on the culinary front with the 'slow food' movement. But it’s spreading – to slow cities, slow education, slow travel... slow living. So why not Slow Meetings?
