The Thing We Do Most That Helps Us the Least

It’s often said that, in the absence of proper information, people come to their own conclusions.

Have you ever made an assumption about a situation that simply wasn’t true?

Your PHYSICAL Space — How to OWN it to Persuade and Influence

We’re often told not to judge a book by its cover. But the truth is, that’s precisely what most of us do a lot of the time. We make judgments about the people we encounter very quickly.

Playing with the Boys (Literally!): A Lesson From Alice Cooper’s Guitarist

PlayingWithTheBoys newsletter 1

Earlier this week, I saw Alice Cooper live in concert. It was a great show! It’s remarkable that at age 69, he’s so energetic – a real showman, and a true professional. He gave an excellent performance!

As a result, the recipient either misunderstands the communication, doesn’t get the full context, or is unnecessarily annoyed.
