All in the name…

November 28, 2011

Today’s post was inspired by my recent trip to the Dominican Republic and some of the cultural nuances that I’ve experienced firsthand during my travels to Central America and the Spanish Caribbean. I’ve always wondered about business professional who claims that they can think “globally”. I’d like to ask them if they’ve ever spent extended [...]

It’s fall, time to say “Thank You”

November 25, 2011

I love the fall. Well what we call “fall” here in Miami is really an end to hurricane season, rain, and humidity. While the leaves don’t change colors, the tourists do, so it tends to even out in my book. I’d also be remiss to not take a few minutes out to thank some of [...]

Back from the DR

November 21, 2011

Had to work this weekend in the Dominican Republic (yeah, I know it’s tough when the country looks like the picture). Travel time is quick, just shy of 2 hours in a plane. It’s an amazing place. The people are lovely and if you’re a history buff, well it don’t get much cooler than Christopher [...]

Boy, you’re gonna carry that weight…

November 15, 2011

A little over 3 weeks ago my friend, Steve Browne wrote about what he refers to as his “inner sanctum” and he hit the nail on the head. It was insightful and even judging by the comments, resonated in the space. Steve’s post was great, but something kept gnawing at me and then I had [...]

Happy Friday! Man this was a crazy busy week for me. I’m coming off of two quick trips over to the west coast, some frenetic activity in the office and a whole lotta crazy in my personal life. While in Los Angeles last week, I was lucky enough to attend the National Society of Hispanic [...]

How do you explain it to a 6 year old?

October 11, 2011

Getting ready for work the other day, I overheard my daughter ask my wife a pretty interesting question. We were getting ready for work and school and had the Today Show on the television. All of a sudden, she asks my wife “Mommy, what are those people doing on Wall Street?” I was in the [...]

Fix your face JP, fix your face…

October 7, 2011

I started to believe my own hype last week. Dangerous I know, but hey, we all do it every once in a while. Short story long, I referenced some new things we were doing for clients with some social platforms. No sooner did the words “Social Media” fall from my lips did I get shut [...]

Reason #129 why people dislike recruiters

September 26, 2011

A few weeks ago I wrote a pretty tough criticism about my professional organization and the local SHRM chapter here in South Florida. According to the analytics, well let’s just say that it resonated with the 9 people (and the spam bots) that read my blog. In an effort to remain above the fray (at [...]
