One of the best ways to get rid of unwanted behavior is to move. When business happens from the cubicle- who you sit next to and who you have to listen to all day can influence your behavior.

TeleTwittering
I spent the entire weekend at a cocktail party. I mingled, listened, laughed, and walked away from some boring conversations only to find very insightful and engaging discussions nearby. Instead of drinking Mojitos, I ordered Twitter shots.
It all started on Friday afternoon when I decided to download Problogger’s Twitter Survival Guide. Darren Rowse just has a [...]
Misbehaving in a Recession
I was just minding my own business when 3 KB people approached me today. This Kind Behavior all started early this morning when I asked a woman if she could break my dollar for the bus and she just handed me 50 cents. I insisted on giving her my dollar but she refused and said [...]
Trash Talk
It was hot and happening yesterday for San Francisco’s Bay-to-Breakers race. It’s a fun event that draws a vibrant and energetic crowd.

Sibling Connection through Presentation Zen
I’ve been thinking how I could organize my life using the Power Point’s slide sorter function. It would be very cool to look at events in your life that should have happened sooner or later to have more meaning. Being in the training field, I’m super impressed by Power Point masters. And yet still surprised how many [...]
Don’t be shy about winning
When was the last time you did some guilt free shopping? Being conservative about our spending is what dominates our thinking these days. We all look for ways to reduce spending and hunker down during this time.
We are finally seeing signs of life as things are opening up in a small way. When a new job, a [...]
