    Holiday Hurries, Flurries, and Puppies

    By Dan Bobinski
    Director, The Center for Workplace Excellence
    Where I live the snow is flying and the holiday spirit is filling the air.  With all the shopping, parties, friends, snow shoveling, Christmas lights, and writing (cranking out the manuscript for my next book), I’ve not had my mind on this blog!
    For those who have family coming […]

    The value and meaning of self-reliance

    By Dan Bobinski
    Director, The Center for Workplace Excellence
    When I picked up my dry-cleaning the other day, the bill was $31. I mentioned it was worth every penny, as it saves me so much time. The manager said she was glad she didn’t have to do the pressing herself. She stated the people doing the pressing […]

    Does positive thinking really get results?

    The idea that “positive thinking” can affect our lives for the better has been gaining momentum over the past 80 years, and even more so with the recent release of “The Secret,” a book by Rhonda Byrne. Does the concept work? I dare say it does—within reason.

    Matt Bacak, The Powerful Promoter, and a Lack of Respect

    I have to hand it to Matt Bacak, a.k.a. “The Powerful Promoter.” He IS persistent. And boy, does he promote!  And promote!  And promote!  Even when you ask him to stop.
    Mr. Bacak promotes himself as someone who can show you how to promote your business. And since I’m launching several niche business efforts, I signed […]

    Hiring a speaker? Let him speak

    A while back I was hired to deliver a keynote speech for a national organization’s annual meeting. My philosophy is that if you’re going to hire a speaker on a particular topic, let that person speak on the topic — don’t try to write his speech for him. 
    But that didn’t happen this time. One of […]

    Office romance? Prepare for a love contract

    More workplaces are starting to use “Love Contracts.” What are they? They’re the equivalent to pre-nuptials that create legal protection for your employer should an office romance go sour.
    Personally, I think it’s a healthy thing for employers to use, and it sets equally healthy boundaries for those in the romance, as well. For example – […]
