    Understanding Your Character: How will that help you as a salesperson?

    Although I’ve now spent over thirty years in front of audiences, it wasn’t until my junior year in high school until I took to the stage. I was fortunate to have an amazing teacher and director named Rob Ramoy who didn’t ask me, but told me to audition for my first show. The show was Damn Yankees, and I probably would not have tried out if it wasn’t for the fact that I saw it as an opportunity to play the role of a baseball player on my favorite team; the Washington Senators. What I didn’t know was that this was not only going to ignite a love for performance that remains to this day, it was also going to teach me one of the most important lessons in acting, and business I would ever learn.

    Beer and Diapers: Why marketing correlations boost revenue

    Every time I think of Big Data I reminisce my childhood and the Brothers Grimm tale, "Hansel and Gretel." Individuals today are very much like this story, leaving trails of breadcrumbs as we live our lives. Marketers follow those trails to decipher who we are and the behaviors we carry on.

    Journey to Excellence: It is exciting, inspiring and fun

    “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.” Martin Luther King, Jr. I absolutely love this quote by Dr. King. Every time I read it, I can clearly hear this great man’s booming voice filled with passion as he inspires all to excel at every task, no matter the size.

    That Dog Don’t Hunt: Transitioning generational leadership in family business

    Charisma is what makes Charlie so appealing. At, 72, with a full head of black hair; he is healthy and hale to say the least. At work, Charlie goes by his first name. He is friendly and familiar. He is loved; you can tell that by the interactions between him and the many frontline employees. When I met Charlie last year his title was CEO though he supposedly worked half time (not really) and he did not own the company anymore (an interesting point).
