 In just 2 months I'll be celebrating my 34th year at The Allied Group.  Started in 1946, this year Allied is celebrating its 75th anniversary. I 'grew up' using a layout sheet, a metal ruler, and a mechanical pencil drawing sketches of business forms.  Allied Printing produced invoices, checks, statements and other kinds o...

 On St. Patrick's Day 2020, I was having an absolutely wonderful dinner overlooking a beautiful harbor with a spectacular sunset on very warm night in Cape Coral Florida with my friend….totally alone!  Everyone else at the resort had either chosen to not go out, or, had already left the property.

Abraham Lincoln said famously and accurately, "Everyone likes a compliment."  ​Today is World Compliment Day - Maybe pass one on and see what happens...... "Because life is a living, breathing work of art, you are a painting as you go.  Be a masterpiece.  Drink in life.  Laugh too loud.  Compliment others constant...

 "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." - William Shakespeare With absolutely no disrespect intended, it is interesting to me that over the course of my career how computer programmers have become software developers, psychologists have become therapists, and secretaries have become administrative assistants. I certainly underst...

The pandemic of 2020, and soon to be 2021, has created both extreme and lasting impressions on us all of us.  It is a singular event that truly, "We are all in it together.  "For me, it has been interesting to see how politicians, business leaders, and everyday people have handled the challenges and emotional upheaval that have ...

"Quality performance starts with positive attitude."   – Jeffrey Gitomer Ok, hands up if you've struggled with maintaining and sustaining a positive attitude consistently for the past 8 months.  My guess is that if you're in sales, even if you are normally the most buoyant and resilient type, you and your team may have had more than ...

"You are only confined by the walls you build yourself."               ~Andrew Murphy It didn't matter that this was, I believe, the 7th time that I had done it. It didn't matter that it was a 'relatively' moderate day, temperatures were in the low 30's. It didn't matter that I h...
