I just put down SWAT – Seize the Accomplishment (Amazon affiliate link) by Timothy L. Johnson….and now want to pick it back up and read it again. It’s that good.
I received the book as a review copy from the author…but don’t let that get in the way of believing me when i say that this [...]
I’ve been sitting at my computer staring at the screen for a few minutes trying to come up with a topic for my weekly “New CIO” article. While waiting for inspiration to strike (i.e., surfing the web) I took a look at my Google Analytics account and noticed that the most visited article on my [...]
I realize it’s a few days into the new year and most people have already committed their 2010 resolutions to paper (or screen)…now its my turn.

What’s your focus?

If you take a look at some of the Pre-release copy reviews of this book on Amazon you’ll see a few [...]
What would happen if you stopped everything you do online?
What if you stopped:
Blogging
Tweeting
Facebooking (is that a word?)
Linking
Commenting
Interacting
What would happen? Would anyone miss you? Would your clients? Your Community?
If the answer is ‘yes’…do you know that for sure? If the answer is ‘no’, what can you do differently to bring more value to your clients/community/readers/friends?
I asked [...]
2009 is half over and its been a pretty good year so far.
What’s transpired this year?
In February, I put my consulting practice on hold to join the Boy Scouts of America full time after working with them for 1.5 years as a consultant. Previous to starting full-time, I’d been leading the Sitecore Content Management System [...]
One of the most visited posts on this blog is titled “The Problem(s) with Linear Thinking“. That one post makes up for a good amount of monthly visitors from people doing a google search for ‘linear thinking‘. Do that search yourself and you’ll see that post in the top 3 (if not #1).
Why is this [...]
I just finished reading The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything and have to say that I really enjoyed it.
