Gallup released a new study recently. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, since they release a new study every 8 minutes or so. Given that a lot of their studies end up returning the same results as previous studies, I often think they only keep doing it because people pay them and they can’t figure…

This one’s for my HR people. I know people sometimes get annoyed with you guys because you seem to have paperwork for everything. Most of them think that you guys LIKE all that paperwork. But you don’t, do you? You just have to do it because it’s the law. And WHY is it the law? …
DetailsListen more. Be positive. Celebrate success. Give people bacon. You’ve heard all the standard ways to motivate your employees before, and you’re tired of reading the same advice. Luckily for you, I’m tired of writing it, too. Don’t get me wrong. I still want to help you become a better manager. I still want you…
DetailsSo January is coming to an end. Have you given up on your resolutions yet? If so, I bet this photo will inspire you to exercise more! I hope you enjoyed my resolutions photo series as much as I enjoyed making it. Here are links to the other resolutions in case you missed any: Be…
DetailsWe’ve all suffered through terrible motivational speakers before. When you were a baby your parents gave you foul-tasting baby food like squashed beets and pretended it was delicious, but they were lying and now you hate the noble beet in all its various forms. I’m also pretty sure you’ve been in the audience at a…
DetailsI’m not a LinkedIn Influencer (yet!!) so nobody really asked me to write this, but that’s not going to stop me from doing it. After all, if I waited around for people to ask me to do stuff, I probably wouldn’t have a business, and I definitely would never have gone to Prom. Besides, writing…
DetailsOne way to make 2014 the best year ever is to travel! If you can’t afford to go somewhere far away and tropical, try visiting the next town over instead. You never know what you might discover. For example, I was in Fort Wayne, Indiana and I learned that the garbage disposal was invented there.…
DetailsYou want to have an awesome year? You want people to seethe with envy that they aren’t you? You want strangers to pause as they walk past you, or maybe even walk into trees and parked cars because they were so busy staring at you that they forgot to watch where they were going? More…
DetailsIt’s a new year and as usual, everyone is resolving to lose the extra pounds from all of the pie they ate over the holidays. Fitness experts will tell you there is no easy way to lose weight. They are liars. All you have to do is go to the moon. Once I step off…
DetailsWho says one of the most motivational people in the world can’t also be funny? As Martin Luther King day approaches, everyone is going to talk about his impact on the world, so I thought we should talk about something nobody else will – that he also knew how to make people laugh. Watch and…
DetailsSo it’s New Year’s resolution time, and everyone’s trying to figure out how to have a better year than last year. For myself, I’ve decided to learn French, and I’m going to continue my longstanding policy of not poking sharks. I have a lot of faith in the not-shark-poking one working out, but I’m not…

It’s a brand new year and in order to make this year the best ever, I resolve to get the best job ever. I want to be the official state person. There’s a state bird, a state flower, a state fish, and a state insect, so I figured there may as well be a state…
DetailsAll in all, I’d say 2013 was a great year, if for no other reason than because I ate a larger-than-average-for-me number of kiwis. I hope you have similarly fond remembrances of last year. However, there are a few events in 2013 that I would not mind never experiencing again. So, in an effort to…
