One Final Trip in 2023
December 25th, 2023
Normally my year ends with a few corporate holiday parties but not this year. My 2023 ended on the road. We have several schools in the northern part of Wisconsin that we work with and this year they booked us for our photo ornament program for the second week in December. To say I was not looking forward to the trek would be an understatement. Yes, it is a long drive out there but that wasn’t the issue, the problem for me was the cold. Northern Wisconsin in the winter is not known for its balmy temperatures, especially for the campus in Superior which is right on the lake. (For those that are a bit geographically challenged that is Lake Superior one of the 5 Great Lakes.) They have this little thing called the Lake Effect, which can mean additional snowfall, wind, or frigid temperatures.

Missing a View from the Chair
December 18th, 2023
There it hangs, still wrapped up in the plastic from the dry cleaners. As the sun hits it, the red fur glistens while the white fur appears almost pristine, like a new fallen snow. Next to it sits my bag complete with boots, gloves, makeup kit, suspenders, and of course my bells. This will be one of few years, over the last 47, that I will not don the suit and take my place in a Santa chair ready to welcome kids of all ages onto my lap. For some, playing Santa is a job. For me, it is a delight. There is something magical about playing that “right Jolly Old Elf”.

Charity, It Does a Body Good
December 11th, 2023
At this time of year many ads on TV are for charitable organizations. Our screens are filled with images of starving kids, abused animals, families singing the praises of a variety of hospitals like Shriners or St. Jude’s, and of course photos of beautiful, majestic animals that are nearing extinction. For some, they will spend far more on giving to charities this season than they will on gifts for friends and family.

Not Sure How I Feel About Artificial Intelligence
December 4th, 2023
Recently, I paid for a webinar on artificial intelligence. It was promoted as a CEO or other C-Suite executives basic guide to AI. Everything that I read, or have read, on AI says that if you don’t jump in now and at least begin to start understanding the artificial intelligence wave, you will be left behind. For those that are familiar with Clifton Strengths, learner is one of my top strengths so when you combine the threat of being left behind and the natural desire to learn new things this seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to explore this blossoming technology. Unfortunately, the day of the webinar I had a conflict and was unable to attend the live session, but I was able to access full recordings of the 3 presentations that were given.
