It belongs to Mariya Alexander, the no nonsense executive assistant to one of my clients. In his best-selling book, The Road Less Traveled, author, Scott Peck sums it up perfectly in his first line, “Life is difficult.” What is also true is when we work hard, take chances and get up after we fail, life is […]

The central theme of the presentation was the importance of creating a personal brand in the service sector. On a break, the president of the group, Naveen Jaggi approached me and shared what I thought was brilliant insight. He said, “You don’t own your reputation.

Instead, I believed, and still do, that you only get one shot at life, so you might as well do what you love. I graduated from college with all kinds of accomplishments- summa cum laude, Phi […]

Why? The answer is simple. While Shaq understood his superstardom depended upon his connection with the fans, Kobe never took the time to develop a relationship with the people who made him famous.

I remember being in Atlantic City in my mid-twenties, playing blackjack with some friends. I never gambled a lot of money. My strategy was to take $500 and have fun. If I won, great. If I lost, it wasn’t going to break my bank. On this occasion, I was down to my last $20 and suddenly my luck changed. I started winning hand after hand. I remember getting close […]
