You may have heard that in February, Burger King’s twitter account got hacked. They’re not the only ones either. Jeep, Donald Trump and a score of other high profile people have had their accounts taken over. Even worse, a few weeks ago the Twitter account for the Associated Press was hacked and sent out a [...]

I bought a hat. Normally this uninteresting story would end there, but this time it doesn’t; let me explain. I found the hat when I received an alert from a daily deal site. I instantly liked the hat, but I didn’t have any money at the time for an unplanned expenditure so I dismissed it. [...]

The way your employees treat your customers speaks volumes about your company. – Positive: Your employees smile, speak respectfully, show empathy, respond appropriately to customer’s concerns, give timely answers to questions and requests, obey company policy, dress and behave in a manner that evokes a good feeling about your company. – Negative: Your employees act [...]

I have discovered lately that I have been missing out. I’ve been accepting the bland when I could have had something a bit more exciting. With that intro, we jump to the topic of (drumroll, please!): Salad Dressing! I first discovered ranch dressing in elementary school. Since my parents didn’t like it, ranch became a [...]

I heard the news that Groupon’s founder and CEO, Andrew Mason, was fired. A few days later I found a posting of his final statement to his employees. I don’t know anything personally about Mason other than what I saw in an online video of a Startup School presentation he gave in 2010 – from [...]

Whatever the reason, [...]

I’m currently mad at myself. I second-guessed myself twice this morning, and as a result I lost out on two opportunities with no immediate possibility for a similar chance emerging. Last week I found myself getting irate over being constantly interrupted. We all get angry now and then. What makes you mad? When traffic accidents [...]

I’ve been thinking about this topic lately after a friend posted an update to her Facebook page. She’d been agonizing about whether she should keep working for her employer of almost 2 decades, or quit and stay at home with her children full time. She finally made the decision to leave work and felt genuine [...]

Can you remember back to last January with the goals and the hopes you had for the new year? Me neither. Trying to get back into my head from twelve months ago is proving a difficult challenge. I know I was anxious for the presidential election and dreading the nearly full year of campaigning that [...]

Recently I reached a milestone that I’m not proud of. For the first time in my adult life, I was really sick. Of course I get colds 3-4 times a year, especially now that I have school-aged children. But usually they last 2-3 days before I start to feel better and I can go back [...]
