It’s Time to Celebrate!
March 22nd, 2022
Spring and Summer are fast approaching. It is the time of year where celebrations of all kinds are being planned. Who doesn’t love a great party? So many of us have missed those gatherings of family and friends the last two years. For some, the news from the CDC that masks may not be required, Omicron seems to be fading, and as of this writing no new variant has been discovered, is music to their ears. Weddings that have been postponed again and again may now proceed, graduation parties appear to be poised to make a return, and let’s not forget a summer or holiday weekend BBQ.

A lot still needs to change when it comes to mental health
March 15th, 2022
For years now, there has been a narrative in play that the stigma of mental health issues is becoming a thing of the past. Movie stars, world class athletes, musicians, politicians, and a whole host of other A-list celebrities have gone public with their struggles to remove that stigma and provide a more open path for people to seek help. Yet, in less than a year, 4 students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute apparently took their own lives and they are far from the only ones in that age group that decided to take that drastic step.

Pausing to Think About Others in the World
March 8th, 2022
It is hard not to think of what is going on in Europe. Watching the news, reading about it online, or in the papers has been troubling to say the least. As a result, we have decided to take this week off from our traditional post.

Random Thoughts and Interesting Facts
March 1st, 2022
Recently, New England was hit by a blizzard. Not an unusual occurrence. We needed a few things for dinner the day the storm was going to hit, so the day before I went to the store. Huge mistake. Not only were there ridiculous lines waiting to check out, but the shelves were bare.

Is Honesty the Best Policy?
February 22nd, 2022
For weeks, I have tossed around the idea of doing a blog on honesty. Several times recently, I have questioned the validity of a statement that was made to me, or the way something was phrased. Then, in my inbox I get my daily mentoring email from Darren Hardy, a success coach, and the topic he is talking about is people lying. Followed by somebody reminding me of a session that I had presented years ago at conferences called “Lies, lies, lies.” So, here I am writing a blog about honesty and is it really the best policy?

Shop Small is Not Just a Saying
February 15th, 2022
There are some who say, “all business is local.” Usually, those saying it are in some way, shape, or form connected to a large national/ international chain or a giant online entity like Amazon. You certainly can consider any business local, after all they hire local workers and often pay local taxes, but if you ask me that is a stretch at best and absolute garbage at worst.

To Tradeshow or not to Tradeshow, that is the Question
February 8th, 2022
Long before anyone had heard of COVID or its variants, trade associations, and the tradeshows, conferences, and conventions they sponsored, were in trouble. It used to be that if you wanted to learn about new products or trends in your industry one of the only ways to do it was to physically attend one of these events.

Longevity has its pluses and minuses
February 1st, 2022
This past week, I suffered from a touch of melancholy. It started with a simple email from longtime friend, and concert middle agent, Dave Stevens, which read “call me.” There was no witty banter in the email, no comments about my age, or sarcastic remark about me liking his wife better than him (which is in fact true), just “call me.” Fearing bad news, I responded immediately. It was, in fact, bad news.

Travel has always been a big part of my life; both my personal life and it is an integral part of my career. Honestly, I have been very lucky. Many folks have never been afforded the luxury of being able to travel as I have.
