You know, I like to think of myself as a creative person. I don’t want to brag or anything, but I made quite the impressive collection of pinch pots when I was in elementary school; one of them was so incredible, in fact, that I should really refer to it as a pinch jug. So…
Hello, devoted readers! I’m writing today from Wichita, Kansas, which I learned yesterday is the airplane manufacturing capital of the world. You wouldn’t know it to look at the airport, since it would fit rather cozily into most suburban backyards, but Cessna, Lear, Airbus, and Boeing all have manufacturing facilities in the city. I learned…
Hello everyone! I’ve just come back from a meeting that literally made me want to rip my own ears off. If there had been a window in the subterranean dungeon we were sitting in, I would have flung myself through it and fallen peacefully into a row of thorny bushes (side note: why does anybody…

Hello everyone! I’m in a pretty good mood today. I’m in Durango, Colorado, about to present at the college here, but I got in early enough to go skiing for half a day. It’s gorgeous, and my life seems to be heading in a happy direction. Which of course bodes ill for this post, since…
Hello again, and welcome to another Martin Luther King Day. Today we honor one of America’s most impressive orators, a man who helped usher in the most sweeping social change in the United States since the Civil War.

Hello everyone! I’m getting ready to head yet again to another conference, filled with association members who will most likely try and persuade me to join their group. Maybe I will. Perhaps I’ll stage an impressive coup and install myself as Association Dictator For Life, then wage a vicious purge against all of the members…
Hello, and Happy New Year! By now you should have already seen my super awesome New Year’s video (if not, click http://www.jeffhavens.com/?p=464), and so you should already have a few good ideas about how to gear up for the year to make 2012 one of your most successful ever. However, you should also be aware…
I hope you all had a happy and and prosperous 2011. Here I offer up some business resolutions for this year!
